Ok my buddy has a highly modded 03 Tiburon GT, and i have a stock Pontiac GTP. The arguement is that once he gets his 50 shot, itll be over for my GTP....I however dont see how since NOS runs out. My supercharger doesnt need to be refilled...ever. My question for you guys is would you run NOS or a supercharger in your camaro?

On an Ls1 car I would (and do) run spray, mostly I do it due to the high compression of the LS1 (10.25 STOCK). That much compression is only going to allow for about 6psi boost on pump gas. As for the Tiburon beating your GTP, I have no idea, get a pulley and a few other mods and whip up on him.

actually the tibby has already been beaten...but thanx

Definitely nitrous over s/c for ls1

Nitrous is a fantastic way to go, insane torque and can keep your car very streetable.
Not saying you can't with a blower as well, but you can't "turn off" the blower.
Not to mention the loss from the crank having to spin the thing too.

i'd choose SC cuz you dont have to refill it and it doesnt last for a certain amount of time[sm=burnout.gif]

A lil bit of both!!! j/k Supercharger all the way!

Isn't NOS really bad on ur engine?

It depends what you mean by bad. Anytime you push more power out, you are creating more stress on engine and drivetrain and in some sense that increases wear, particularly if you are abusive or not a smooth driver.

That said, NOS is actually a good way to get that extra power. For a whole lot of technical reasons having to do with how it "burns" etc., it makes a slightly "gentler" power than normal, so it actually is less stressful on the engine parts PER HP GAINED than other means of getting the same power.

However, this all assumes that you have it set up right and tuned: NOS can burn up your motor in less than a minute if not set up right, or if you get leaks, etc., actually set the car on fire and feed the flames (I saw someone lose a firebrid that way).

I prefer a SC just because the power is always there, but NOS is less expensive, and effective if done right.

Turbo? :D

Why not both at one time. Nitrous work good with turbos, as it cools down the air that the turbo heated up, so I see no reason why it shouldn't work with a supercharger.
