thomp62301 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Looking at either installing NOS or a Supercharger on my 03' SS. From everybodies experience, what do you think is better? I don't drive it much and don't have a very big budget right now for a blower. Whats safer for these trucks? Wet or Dry system? And how big of a shot can you put to it safley? What Nitrous system do you recommend. Thanks for any info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superman Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Get the NX GM EFI kit from summit racing or jegs. It is what i have and it is a wet kit. I have run 150 but use 100 shot on the street. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SSplaytoy Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Refilling the bottle will add up and before you know it, you spent equal cash as a s/c would cost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChevySSandChevy8.1 Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Supercharger You can always enjoy the power, off a stop light etc. With nitrous you have to heat the bottle, refills etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big O Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Nitrious is frowned on up here ... and you can smell it when you use it ... can't brag very much if you have to use Nitrious to beat someone. But that is just up here ... I haven't been around too much racing other places. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superman Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 Its all in how much money you want to spend $1000 vs $5000. I went with the Nos. With my 150 shot i would challange any of you stock sc guys . If i had the extra money yea i would have got a radix but now with the nitrous i dont think a supercharger would compete with it. Unless you went to a drastic pulley swap. There is a sc SS around town maybe i will get up with him and see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted March 25, 2005 Report Share Posted March 25, 2005 under a budget nitrous is a good place to start. it's hard to argue with these numbers for sure. track times Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 hp is hp. Doesn't matter how you get there. Nitrous will save your tranny in the long run, used wisely. It's not a constant beat on all your parts. You don't need to be on a budget to use nitrous, but it is less expensive to use. But then again, I would never consider using it on the street. Strictly a track use item for me. If I ever get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hank Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 nitrous is the best bang for your buck, but id rather have just the supercharger. if you dont mind spending a ton of money do both. trannys can get really expensive. i think the radix, billet servos, shift kit, and a custom tune will do you wonders. you will have the power ALL the time and shouldnt be to hard on an otherwise stock tranny. IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted March 26, 2005 Report Share Posted March 26, 2005 Spend the same money (if not less) on a stroker 408, have nearly the same power (potentially more) as a supercharger, then have the ability to throw 200-250 shot of N2O at it. And if done right, your tranny will survive. In theory, of course - not proven - yet. And, you still have the power there all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
