Yes but only a little hehehe. No but realy on my stock bottom end 346 with twin turbos I got away with a 2stage on 24hp shots each. With only say 700psi and 400psi in the other bottle the 24hp shot was on the dyno 32hp 47torque. I have 2 bottles,switches, so it is 2 seperate systems, just incase bottle press. get realy high. In the hot summer I will change the red shot(2) to a 18hp or so. Oh and I would only spray at WOT. b/c of fuel.

i have heard of a 25-50 shot used with a supercharger. Not only to add power but also to cool down the boost temperature, help out the aftercoooler.

i wonder that question too

seems like a lot of money to invest and time to install for only 25 shot though

i was thinking more like 75

but i could settle for 50

Like he said though a 25 shot was worth more. It will cool the charge making it denser plus add more oyxegen

alot of fast cars run a small shot on top of their boost to cool things down. a few cars run a large shot to make power with their boost.
i saw a guy with an lt1 at the track with a vortech was running a small shot (35) to keep things cool, (his intake pipe was super cold after a run) ran a 10.02 then. he since then bumped it up to a 150 shot and is running mid nines! total street car too!
