Default Supercharge & Nitrous

Are there supercharged car running Nitrous also? Would make a hell of a combo.

I don't see many people doing this. If so I think its just like a 50 shot. Most superchargers have instant torque, they don't have to spool like turbos. I don't see why you would need to add Nitrous. I don't know how safe it is either. I'm sure someone will chime in though

Yeah, I'd be afraid of the boom after the squirt.
