Default Nitrous with blower?

What does anyone think about nitrous with blowers?

Currently, I'm running a 383 w/ YS-Trim supercharger. I am considering putting a small nitrous system on the car to lower the intake charge temp and make little more power. What does anyone think?

Later,
Wes

a few tuners here have, like horsepowerstore.com

i dont think it would be a bad idea, you might try a 25 shot, so you dont need to add alot of fuel compensation with it.

A local guy where I live is running a Vortech T trim with a 50 shot of nitrous. He doesnt need to add fuel due to the small shot of nitrous actually cooling the incoming air charge. His best time so far is a 9.57 ET. He is bumping his nitrous shot up to 200HP, and is going to try for a high 8 within the next couple of months.
So yes, nitrous and boost do compliment eachother. But as always....TUNE TUNE TUNE to make sure that your A/F ratio is in the sweet spot, and not the HOT spot.

Thanks guys. Info is greatly appreciated.

I'd like to try a 50 horse system and see what happens, but...who knows.
