supercharger! nitrous wears on your engine even if it is only a 100hp or 75
hp shot, you have to worry about how much u have left in your bottle, and i
have seen one explode, it ripped the entire car apart, the initial explosion
bottomed the car out then it popped off the ground and shifted to the left
several feet, it mutilated the trunk (nothing was left, shrapnal through the
garage door) and would have killed anything in or around the car (THANK GOD
no one was there) I would go supercharger if you have the money. I would
also get a kenne bell whipple charger because their sweet and add at least
50%+ hp they have no spool up time (unlike some centrifugal s/c) and the
intake stays much cooler, so it has the best of both worlds, only problem is
its about $1000 more than centrifugal.

just my $.02 (and no, i am not positive all the info contained in here is
correct, just things that i have heard)
