Default vortech s/c with 100 shot?

what do you think about supercharging my t/a and putting a 100 shot in there, would there be any fuel problems?

Probably, you definatly need to ugrade your fuel if you put out big power numbers.

Why do you want to juice it with the blower on it?
There arnt to many that do that, Tybrne and HPS are the only ones i know that have nitrous with a blower.
Usally the blower will give you all the power you need.

ive been thinking about drinking from the hose after i get my turbo dialed in as best i can to give it a little more kick. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />
but thats aways away.

We've speculated it would be good to cool down the intake charge and max the efficiency of the FI to do maybe a 50-shot.

Remember that when you juice a blower/turbo, you get double the hp out of the rated shot. The nitrous not only gives you more power but the intercooling effect also give you power. A 50 shot will generally give you 100-110 hp increase. Keep that in mind before you start throwing in a 100 shot.

Would a person spray the nitrous into the intake manifold (after the supercharger) or into the lid (before the supercharger)? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

If you werent familiar with the no2 shot doubling then i would recomend you do a lot more research before slapping the giggle gas on top of a blower.

I do not agree with the statement that your nitrous shot is doubled when you have a blower. Why would it be doubled? You're still adding the same amount of nitrous and just a ton more air on top of it. I ran my car on a dyno with what was a 45 hp increase before I had my blower and it gave me 25 hp and 45 tq with the charger. If you were going to install nitrous, popular opinion says put the nozzle after the charger and intercoolers but before the mass air meter. This applys to a dry system.

One thing I forgot to mention was that somebody said the intercooling affect of the n2o shot (not no2) gives you the added power. This is true whether you're supercharged or not. Nitrous is -127 degrees F I believe. Depending on the amount of air entering and the temp of that air, the nitrous will always decrease the temperature of the intake charge a certain amount. The air reaching the motor on a NA car will be cooler than that of a SC car since there is more air which is also hotter to spread the n2o cooling affect through. This assumes all things are equal like outside air temp, size of shot, ect...

Ok already someone do this and let me know. On a Vortech however the charger and the Aftercooler is after the MAF in the line so it could not be after both and before the other one. Would you not have some major problems and need more than stock internals???

I dont think its wise to put NOS with SC and especially if its Intercooled. If it wasnt intercooled then the NOS will definetly help to cool things down, but why do u want to put NOS when u have an Intercooler already. If u want more power get a smaller pulley, larger injectors, that should do the job.

Some people dont want to run insane power levels all the time. Being able to turn on an extra 50 - 75 HP when you need it is better than stressing your engine and drivetrain components all the time.

Just for the record I ran a 50 shot through my supercharger many times with no harm done. I was worried that it might warp the impeller but it didnt. Just dont aim it right at your impeller. Putting it right after your air filter would be good so its evenly distributed with the rest of the air.
