Alright, what I am looking for is suggestons as to what you think is the best power adder for a car to range from 600-800 rwhp on 93 octane fuel with a stroked 302. Blower? Turbo? Nitrous? Keep in mind the ease of tuning that will be needed. Thanx for your input :nice:

Turbo hands down. Best power adder you can possibly have besides more cubes. Turbo is the most efficient adder, because it runs off of the emissions, which your motor is going to make anyway, as compared to a supercharger which runs off of the belt and takes power from the motor to operate. Nitrous comes a close second to Turbo since it takes nothing away from the motor to run, but the downfalls are of course running out of juice, the fact that the nitrous isnt ALWAYS on like a Turbo is, and your optimal engine tune is different from NA and Nitrous, which would require a multi-tune toggle setup like a Diablo chip to achieve.

You just can't be turbo. :nice:

Turbo is THE ultimate power adder, ok remember that. :)

done deal :D Reason being...is when I build the fox...its getting built as a supra killer :hail2: this car wont be no dig car...it will be a roll car...347...afr 205's....custom cam...etc....etc...etc...of....and I guess a single t-76 kit....maybe 800+ hp :banana:
 
I dont care about ease of tuning, because nitrous is no fun, i mean it is, but you can only use it with a push of a button. I would definatly re-think the idea, and go with a vortech or a turbo. I would go with a blower...even a 5psi one...they sound bad as hell, and the power band is AWSOME!

well depending on how sleeper I go with the car will decide between the turbo and blower...if I go sleeper, it will be turbo, if not, then d1sc procharger or something
