wow man, you really got some things wrong here...

Ok first off... Dollar for Dollar Blower vs. Nitrous

Initial Cost: Blower 1,800
Nitrous: 800-900 (if you do it right)

Cost per bottle refill: 40-60 bucks... so lets see... 1,800 - 900 (difference in blower and nitrous price) = 900 ... 900 / 50 (refill cost) = 18...

So, look at the math there.. after you fill the bottle 18 times then you are at and OVER the cost of a blower...

Im sure you are going to spray more than 18 bottles worth in ur cars lifetime.. hell thats one summer of hitting the track every other weekend.

Now Power: 6 psi adds about 100hp.. give or take
and Nitrous well.. its variable most of the time and depends how much your tune can handle...


Blower has power 100% of the time.. all the time.. any time.. forever

Nitrous... well, lets hope you keep extra back-up of full bottles in case you get stuck in a race on low bottle pressure.

and lastely... Reliability and MPG

When I put my vortech on my car my hwy mileage jumped from 21 mpg to a consitent 25.5 mpg... yea thats right i actually GAINED gas mileage.. go figure uh? Well, the motor is running a lot more effiecent now ya know?

As far as reliability.. there is a reason you see several factory cars come with blowers and turbos.. its because they ARE reliable...

How many cars do you see come factory with nitrous? :shrug: (of course laws may prevent this but for good reason.. .high bottle pressures and explosive gasses.. you get the point, its a safety hazard.

So why do people run Nitrous? Lots of reasons, you can hook it up in a few minutes and get the extra power you need for the nights race.. OR, they are running very high compression and Nitrous is compression friendly where a blower isnt.. in your case you arent running high compression OR needing to win a race tonight.. save urself the trouble, just get a blower.. geez
+1 I totaly agree get a blower if you can.
