My 98 Cobra has an 8 psi vortech supercharger and exhaust and I was looking into how to get more horsepower. For the money the next logical step would be nitrous but would this be overkill on a primarily stock Cobra engine with 30k miles. If I do decide on nitrous would engine internals need to be upgraded. Any input would be of great help! And if anyone has a blower and nitrous set up I would like to know if you've had any problems. Thanks for all the help in advance!
Supercharger and nitrous bad combo?

Now this is what I've read, so take it with a grain of salt..
If you use nitrous with a s/c it effectively almost doubles the potency of the NOS. The reason it does this is because it chills the air. I think it's something like a 50 shot of NOS on an supercharged vehicle will actually get you 75hp.

Why not just get a powerpipe and get a cooler air temp. and steal an extra 1-3lbs of boost??? You could get a dyno tune, and/or change the supercharger pulley to a 10lb pulley and/or get an intercooler or aftercooler. I would do one or more of the above apposed to the nos setup. Plus dont be fooled by the $600 nitrous kits you need all kinds of extras to get it to run right and effective. You'll definetly spend over a grand and for that you could just get an intercooler. Just my 2 cents.
