should i go with a pi head swap and a 75 shot of nitrous(maybe 100 shot), or just put in a supercharger.
What set up will produce more power.

I did the headswap and am adding a 125 shot here right away. In some ways i wish i would have just gone s/c to begin with but i like the idea of being able to use my bottle just for the track and then keep the reliability of my N/A engine for the street.

I wish I got a blower instead of the headswap.

I am glad I did the head swap and some bottom-end work. I like getting the most out of my car naturally aspirated. The only thing I will suggest it to get after market cams while you are at it...if finances permits.

And for those very rare days that I actually go to the track, the 100 NX wet shot is more than enough to give me a satisfying E.T.

Why not do the headswap and a supercharger?

P & P PI Heads (More airflow through the heads) + Supercharger (Force Induction) = MAD HORSEPOWER.


However I'm going to do an engine swap. 4V for me.

Some people say that the increase compression with PI heads is not good for Forced Induction. But if you know you want to S/C later, just change out to different pistons while doing the swap to reduce the compression.

If you can afford race gas high compression and forced induction go hand in hand to a point.

Last winter I did the headswap and this spring I will be sporting VT stage ones and a 150 wet shot and of course a good tune. Its up to your wallet really. The initial cost of nitrous is cheaper but in the long run a blower will out run the cost of filling the bottles. Its all up to you.

Here is what you should do:
