If you had three cars ^^^ 1 TURBO/ 1 SUPERCHARGED/ 1 NITROUS that each made the same Horsepower which of the three would be faster .

depends on transmission rearend etc etc

why is there no NA car in there ?

If everything was EXACTLY the same my guess would be the nitrous car. Instant huge tq & hp, and no parasitic losses

Parasitic losses dont matter if they are making the same power.. But id say nitrous or turbo. Nitrous you can hit it really hard off the line but you can do the same with a trans brake/turbo, its such a setup specific question. Im still leaning towards nitrous though

Is this a troll thread to start 100 arguments?

Btw, there are far too many factors.

Is it a 500 shot of nitrous that hits at 2500 RPM or a 200 shot that hits at 4000 RPM?
Is it a small turbo thats cracking open the wastegate at 2000 RPM?
Is it a roots blower, twin screw, or centrifugal?

Just wondering since someone I know said that a nitrous car wuld be faster then any other with all being equal .But from comments so far it depends on setup .I'm just getting into the FI world .

ima say supercharged. instant hp and tq don't have to worry about a hiccup in nitrous or spool time with turbo

Pretty vague question with too many varying factors as previously stated but with that said I'd have to put my money on nitrous.

Back when I had my 04 Mustang Gt I made 400 rwhp & 500 rwtq. It was a 5-speed with a 3.90 gear. Raced my buddy's 04 gt as well (5-speed and 3.73's) that made 450 rwhp with a Kenne Bell. Pretty similar cars all around, and it was basically a dead nuts race from a roll

Turbos hit their peak boost much earlier than a centrifugal setup will. Centrifugal builds boost in a linear manner in relation to RPM. A properly sized turbo can hit its peak boost right in the middle of the rev range and hold it until redline/shift point. The centrifugal has its upsides when compared to turbos, but if you're limiting its peak power to the exact same as a turbo/nitrous setup, it'll probably produce less power everywhere below the peak, even if the blower itself is capable of more power than either the turbo or nitrous setup.
