ive run a nitrous car in the past, but right now, 4 of my vehicles are NA, and Im on my second turbo car, although the first turbo car was purchased, sat for a while, and someone came and offered us more than three times what we paid for it, so we sold it...

NA should probably be an option too...im sure that we have some guys here who are making good power NA...

$3500? What do you have that cost that much. How fast are you going on spray and off the spray?
12.94 off bottle Pretty decent with the nitrous tune.

11.6 on bottle

I have more crap supporting the nitrous than i can think of. 2 bottles, 2 heaters, 2 openers, lines out the assss, window switch, switches, wires, wires, and more wires....lol.

Yeah the bill is at 3,500 in parts alone, i can go in the garage and add everything up if you would like.....

The reason i know the exact price is because I used one credit car for it. Initially it was $1,700, then i paid it off. Then $2,300..paid it off. Then $500....to broke to pay it off. lol

Do you have two stages? And if so how much each stage.
Myset up cost me a little over a grand. 500 for the system, 50 plugs, 100 for use injectors, 100 bottle heater, 200 and some change for a flip chip, and 200 for a tune by Johnny Lighting. And I did not get a bottle heater until the end of the season. I use a $5 propane torch. Oh and the $300+ that I wasted by letting ELD tune the car, they told me the system was not hooked up right and want to charge me $500 to fix it. All it needed was bigger injectors.

Single stage just two bottles....i tend to use it a lot.

I also have 2 bottle openers which are pricey with all the extra lines and such, heaters are a must for me. I like being able to spray when i want to spray. I dont even have to pop the trunk to open, close, or heat the bottle. The two bottles helps because I can do about 5 or 6 runs in a row without losing more than 100 psi. Tune was $500, but that was not added in my total. I did in fact add the nitrous pressure gauge and the wideband.

N20 for me. I'd love to have boost, but I'm not complaining.

I'd like to have a combination of both!!!That would probably be a tuning nightmare.[sm=icon_flaming.gif]

As denoted by my sig........Saleen Series VI 2.3L twinscrew supercharger on the stock pulley (4-5.5psi). No regrets. Car drives like stock around town, gets up to speed at lower rpms than what it did stock.....and the kick of over 120 extraHP is only a pedal stab away.[8D]

I have a twin screw whipple obviously. Considered nitrous at first, but didn't want to get the bottle refilled all the time. I also wanted the cool whine of the supercharger, but the whistle of a rear mounted twin turbo on a vette is pretty cool to.

Nitrous here, its not hooked up at the moment because i need to install the new clutch and fuel pump that has been sitting here in my livingroom forever. Hoping for at least some 10.80s on the bottle.

Oh yea, Meth isnt a power adder.
