Maggie or nitrous

I am really cuaght on this decision.

Almost every car ive had has had nitrous on it. Never owned a car with a sc but driven them a few times.

my big thing i guess is with nitrous i can control the boost. like on my z i never sprayed first gear to avoid spinning the wheels terribly. So i guess with a sc ill have to control luanches a bit more cuastiously.

one thing i do like about the sc over nitrous is no filling bottle up every three or four runs. sc is bigger purchase cost but i figure it will be cheaper a few years down the line.

just curious to hear opinions ill be making a purchase next week once i decide.

btw ive decided on either NO camaro kit or maggie.

If you look at it from a $$ perspective, you can fill a BUNCH of bottles with $6k.

The misconception with going FI is that it's the install price and you're done. You're NEVER done. As with nitrous, you always want more. That means better clutch/converter, gears, stronger axles, better tires (often), smaller pulley (mo boost), ported heads, bigger TB, ported intake, etc. It's never ending. Don't get me wrong, it's fun as hell but it's NEVER finished.

My only input on this subject is that you never have to fill up or heat up your supercharger for it to work. Floor it and it's ready....all the time.

Go with the supercharger, you will always have the power and not have to be filling the bottle up.

serious? Watched a little too much fast and furious? Nitrous is for those that cant afford a real power adder ie; supercharger. Your talking two different things here
