OK well im in kind of a dilemma Im trying to figure out which would suite my needs better. I have been piecing together a procharger kit for awhile now, but now am having second thoughts on which way I should go with my car and thinking about selling the kit. I am wanting a bad *** street car basically. I want it to be VERY streetable.

I want however much HP the stock block can take and I want to be as safe as possible. For some reason I think the nitrous kit would be safer because your not always pushing the motor to its limits. But then I hear the procharger puts less strain on the motor.

If I go nitrous I want around 400rwhp NA and then will add a 100-150 shot. If I go procharger I will want around 500rwhp.

Which would be a better DAILY DRIVER setup? and which would be a safer route? I hardly ever take my car to the track. This will be a daily driven street car.

Please discuss what you think.

I would slap the procharger on it with a nice blower cam and call it a day!!

nitrous will be cheaper, and youd be able to run people on all motor and for faster cars use the spray. ls1s love huffing nitrous.. this is the truth

I'm going with a Procharge setup for the my T/A (in sig below) which is my only way of transportation. Lately I've been seeing a lot of FI guys suggesting to people like yourself that you're better off going with a Nitrous setup due to the fact that FI is so expensive. Some people would say, go with a Nitrous setup just because it's there when you need it and you can turn it off when you don't need it, but the drawback to that is you'll have to refill the bottle; however to counter attack that statement, it all depends on how often you use the Nitrous. Others would say, go with an FI setup such as a Turbo because you can freely switch boost settings with a boost controller. A Procharger setup would be great as well because the power is always there and you don't have to worry about refilling a bottle. Not to mention, you don't have to worry about tapping into your oil pan because Prochargers are a self contained unit. The only drawback to Prochargers as well as other FI applications, like I mentioned earlier, they're expensive. Either Nitrous or FI can be done safely and be reliable daily drivers however, it all depends on what you prefer. The best advice that I can give you is to checkout the FI section and Nitrous section to help you determine which route you'd like to take. Good luck...

Its not that simple. I wish it was.

Bottom line here: If you have plenty of disposable income then go FI. Its a hell of a lot of fun. On a budget go nitrous. It will be cheaper. I am well into 5 digits with my set up and supporting mods.

my01ws6, seeing as you've already began to piece together a Procharger kit, why not just make sure you mod wisely and slowly but surely purchase all the supporting mods you'll need to attain your goal?

They are 2 different animals. 1 like high compression and overlap, the other low compression a medium overlap. On stock shortblock, you'll rebuild eventualy, when depends on if you know your limitations. 1 thing, Prochargers are the S**t as far as friendly street setups.

Hands down, go FI. Prochargers are expensive but in the long run you will get every penny out of it.

Yeah thats another reason I might decide to go the nitrous route....its so much cheaper....Im getting to a point in my life where my car isnt everything I want to own. All I have left to finish my procharger kit is my fuel system and a tune. BUT if I decide to sell it and go nitrous I can have a bunch of money left over.

The Vortech owners manual says you can't 'cold start' an engine with their supercharger if the temperature is below 25F or you can cause 'immediate supercharger failure'. Not sure if this also happens with the ATI. If the roads are clear of snow I daily drive my car in freezing temperatures. If you put your car away for the winter then it doesn't matter.

So in all honesty which do you guys think is safer?

How streetable is a procharger set up?

I have run nitrous in the past, but I think a procharger would be the way to go if I did it all over again. Get out your wallet though..
