The nitrous car is basically what i have done to the 30th only he has the bottle. The turbo car is a friggin blast and makes you feel like you are on a roller coaster, but it seems he always has more maintenace than the procharged car. Power wise the turbo car made 748 last yr, The nitrous car made 393 n/a, and the procharged hawk made 630 on the D1 and small motor. I expect the hawk to make around 825-850 this year.

Anywho, the guy with the ls6, tell him to get a nut sack, as that motor can easily take a 200/250 shot, then see which one actually pulls like a frieght train.

Depends on what you want to do. If you just want to go have fun nitrous is cheaper and you can get out of it easily too just by un-installing everything. You mentioned "season" so if you plan on racing consitantly then I would say FI because like others said nitrous will add up quickly. Eventually if you are chasing an ET you will have to build up either motor to handle more boost or nitrous so the decision really depends on if you are in it for the long haul or not.

^^^^^LOL good one Kev, I put over 20k hard street/strip miles on that D1-SC before I sold it to you and I WAS spinning it at max impeller speed up here so I guess it was considered broken in when it got to you
Keep beating the **** out of it, I'm still convinced you'll get a 8.99 with it.

Im a N20/Turbo guy.
With the 83 Its a BBC car with the bottle 250-300 shot
With nitrous you build the motor to go as fast as you can on the motor then hit it with the juice, at least thats my views. With boost you build it to handle whatever PSI you want to run.
Im not going to post any numbers but my new motor will run single digets on the motor then Ill hit it. I am also looking into a NANO and spraying it threw one stage out of the hole.
Looking at a 96 Formula shell for the wife (our project car) and it will most likley turn into a full tube car with a turbo or TT BBC with a BS3 or something.
With N20 if you want a sleeper its the way to go, a thumper turbo, big twins, or a big blower kills the sleeper affect. With the bottle nobody knows what its jetted at.
When it comes to big blocks you can go plenty fast with N20 (8's pretty easy all motor before N20, takes a lighter car, 3,000-3,100 pounds, good chassis, good parts, granted it takes a lot of time getting the car to work good at the track, I am just talking power and weight to run a time), when it comes to small blocks most of the faster cars are FI since those motors don't make as much power as easily.

For me to do N2O on my car it would cost me about $1200.
To go turbo it would probably cost at least $6500
Sure you have to fill the bottle, but I can fill it a lot with the $5300 difference.
