Morgan, I am a guy who ran nitrous for many years. I for one enjoyed the hell out of it because I had the car set up right with the proper supporting mods and ofcourse a few tricks here and there. Now I will say it gets very expensive and when the bottle is empty is sucks. I for one at the time daily drove my car and ran it during the weekends. So yes it served it purpose and the car kicked ass.

Now with a different mind set and the lack of the "weekend" races I for one am not a fan. Its kinda hard to cruise around in nitrous car VS a boost car. Nitrous IMHO is meant to be used when on a full out run. Not somthing to use just to do a quick heart pumping second gear pull. So in that aspect rolling around in a turbo car gets my vote.

Now I have said it once and I will say it again. If I ever (which I probably will not) built another car to hustle on the streets I would 100% without a fact build a nitrous car. Especially now with the VE motor option available and different progressive set up options. 200+ whp NA + a decent shot of smack and you have yourself a very controlable quick street car if done right.

Yes yes you are correct I'm sorry I worded that wrong lol.

Nitrous without a doubt homie....... lets look at the comparisons your going to spend $600 on a nitrous kit maybe $800-$1000 to do it right...or you can go turbo spend $1500-$2000 on used parts.... in addition to worry about boost leaks,turbo failure,oil leaks, turbo lag and poor fuel economy when your in boost...plus the additional weight of the components....... You be the judge. Let's take a look at the link in my signature that is a real nice set up.

I am not trying to be rude but I remember asking about that setup and you told me you would get back to me.

Alex my vote is for Nitrous

Nitrous hurts feelings. Tuck everything under the manifold and say your all motor.
