I just recently got a Nitrous Express kit. Now I have been looking at a supercharger but I don't have the money. Should I sell the nitrous and use that 250 or so on the supercharger or should I stick with the original plan? I know a lot of people have ran nitrous as well as a supercharger, so I figured I should get some feedback first.

I would sell it. Put the money into your supercharger. Many that run both do it just for show. Tunning will be a major issue and wont warrant the headache.

Just keep it and then when you have the cheese for the charger, sell the nitrous. You don't want the headache of 2 power adders......trust me, I know....but then again if you do want the trouble, you best be building an engine that can handle 2 power adders.

*EDIT* I see your future plans are a h/c/i ..... figure out what you are gonna do between the charger and nitrous before you get your heads (so you can have the correct compression ratio if you are gonna boost).

I think I am going to go ahead and sell it so that I can get the sc. The kits seem pretty easy to install. This nitrous kit seems to difficult. I do not think I could run both. I do not plan on rebuilding the bottom end anytime soon. Superchargers seem less violent.

I agree, you bought the kit,so its now "used",might as well get a little fun out of it

And on compression... 9:1-9.5:1 can work good with both.Thats funny...close to the stock compression ratio

A supercharger will take many many more hrs. to install then a nitrous kit. Put the kit on start small and work up. If you start samll and and watch the plugs you'll have maney years of bottle feeding you baby

I wish I would have bought a supercharger or turbo kit. As much time as it took to install this stuff I'm sure a 'charger wouldn't have took to much longer.

It's a kit from Harris Speedworks ( www.harrisspeedworks.com ), Sudden Impact. Nice kits and nice price, but I wish I would have spent the time and money for something a lot nicer...like turbo. Just so much stuff to wire. Switches here, relays there, more switches over yonder, tons of wires, bottle must be at a certian PSI, blah blah blah.

Too much work, I'll never put nitrious on another car PERIOD.

i guess that's true. but think of the crazy tuning and tweaking you have to do with a turbo kit. not to mention it's usually seriously expensive. any word onebad7up?

Keep the nitrous. Now put that s/c money towards an induction package and make more power
