Default Will my car feel different?

Guys, I recently put in a cam, head, and ls6 intake manifold on my car. The cam was a 228/230 with ls6 2.5 heads. I was around 350 with bolts ons. Haven't had a chance to figure out any numbers yet. On top of the 350hp I use to spray a 100shot of nitrous. My question is, will my car feel the same if for instance, I gained the same 100 horsepower from all motor instead of nitrous? 100 nitrous vs 100 all motor?

Yes, it will, You have that power on tap at all times instead of just at wot on the spray. So you will be able to notice the additional power.

I'm really asking if there is a difference between a 100 HP shot of nitrous and a 100 horsepower jump in all motor. Meaning the butt meter.

Is this a serious question? The answer is yes, it will be different. you'll have more power all the time, unless you somehow can afford to spray nitrous the entire time you drive your car.

I agree, you will feel the difference. Just sit back and enjoy that constant power.

The n02 will hit harder while n/a will feel more linear.

Glad you have it all back together Greekey
