Default What is YOUR power adder?

whaddyagot? Once again, I'm on the fence on whether installing my dry nitrous kit or just selling it and saving for a blower for the next few years...but I was just wondering what kind of poweradder you S/S guys have.

Does anyone have two of the three listed as well? Better make it multi-selection.

N/A here, but I would like to get a low shot of nitrous hooked up just to toy around with some day. It's not affordable at this point in time due to engagement ring payments and college stuff.

If I were going to put the money & time into it, I would get a supercharger. Everyone has different things they want and all of them have their pros & cons:

Supercharger Pros - No lag, Power 100% of the time, easier on the engine than nitrous
Cons - takes power away from the engine to power the blower

Turbo pros - Doesnt take power away from engine to work, easier on the engine than nitrous
cons - Can have turbo lag and not be at 100% power all the time

Nitrous pros - always have Power when you want it, doesnt take power away from the engine & doesnt lag, You can choose when you want the extra power, Much cheaper than the other 2
cons - Harder on the engine block than a blower, Need to refill the bottle, cant run a perfact tune with both N/A & nitrous easily

So it all depends what the person wants. If I had the money I would go the supercharger rought, but nitrous is much cheaper and the gains are very impressive.

Nitrous is cheaper for the initial purchase. But once the blowers on it never has to be refilled. Whats a fill on a bottle go for?
25$ to 40$ a pop. Also isn't it wise to tune your nitrous car once in a while to make sure you dont hurt your motor?
