Go nitrous of cash is a problem. If you have unlimited budget then go Charger.

if you dont have money stay away from performance cars lol...... if you dont have a lot of money go nitrous, great bang for the buck. Just keep in mind more power means more strain on drivetrain. just my .02~

I have been struggling with this same thought. I have a brand new F1A Procharged 403 w/ 225 AFR's I built last year sitting in the shop for my car. Problem for me is that damn FMIC is kinda turning me off on my 4000 mile car at this point in the game, I guess just too early. I just got into the LS crowd a year and half ago.

Last year I head and cammed the LS1 in it and added a stout drivetrain and have contemplated Procharging it, although now its got 11.2:1. I know I could do it at moderate boost with meth injection.......but.

I just can't bring myself to pull out the engine after all the mods and the fact I haven't got to beat on it enough. Although 400 RWHP (11.80's) is not enough for me. I WANT MORE!!!!!!!!! I am thinking 150 shot will be better suited for this engine opposed to the Procharger not to mention less work.



Time is another factor these days also, 2 children under 2 years of age. Although its strange because I keep coming over to the FI section, at least moreso than going to the N20 section. Probably all that boost I have experienced in my youth. Addicting

N20 - defintely cheaper....at least in the beginning.
Procharged - to do it right means alot of $$$$ and some hacking and modding on the car.

Heck either one will get me thrown out of the track.

To each his own.

I will agree with the pointless comment.
