What path should I take?

OK, I have a problem. I have 2 different paths I can take with my engine starting next year ('08). Supercharger from a wrecked SS or a wet Nitrous system.

I'd like opinions please

the initial cost of a supercharger is a lot more then a wet nitrous system but i think you'd be happier with the blower. your car will have more power during day to day driving and you can always start messing with the pully size to increase boost. with the spray you'll probably have a lot of fun when you're actually using it but that is going to be less then 5% of the time you're driving.

Supercharger or maybe a turbo. They are more money up front, but they are always on and don't need a refill.

built engine, supercharger and nitrous...haha
depends on what you want....
Nitrous will be easier and cheaper but only gives you power for short periods plus you have to refill
Super will be harder to install/tune for, and cost more but you will have power on demand and dont have to worrie about refill costs.....


I would go Supercharged if it fits your budget......

For all the reasons just stated by every single person that posted, I have never like nitrous. So, BLOWER!

Nitrous is not really a power mod in my opinion. It's not really an engine upgrade, you have power when you use it, but it's not there during normal driving which is so much more handy when trying to change lanes or something.
