Nitrous is the bang for the buck winner.

A forged engine (stroker preferred) with a good nitrous set up is by far the best bang for the buck.That way you have a strong NA setup and the additional HP/TQ of a power adder when needed.

Na (no nitrous) vs Supercharger vs Turbo

The supercharger will provide the quickest ET per $ spent.

Which is the best NA, Supercharger, Turbo? Answer=YES!

IMO which is all you're gonna get it and maybe some small facts. Supercharged stock car puts great power and tuned well can last a long time IMO. NA can spend a little less money but give up driveability to have the same #'s. Turbos make the engine bay a mess, harder to tune, and have more problems IMO!

Smoke'm if you got'm!

Only in your dreams!!If you disregard my motor combo,I only have $1400 dollars in the direct port kit.So if I was running a stock LS1 you could provide me with a FI set up for less money.It takes a lot of boost to make that FI car competitive with a nitrous car.
