Here's one from a couple of years ago. P1SC w/cam & headers v.s. 125hp shot & cam.

From what I gather, there are 3 main benefits from going boosted:
1) Bragging rights of the power "always being there"
2) The ability to make HUGEEEE numbers
3) Bragging rights of the power "always being there"
It seems to me Nitrous wins on the street (could be wrong?) I guess you could say God created Hot Rods. Nitrous made them equal. Oooh yeah baby, I think I made a sig quote there!
Anyway, for spray, here are the advantages I think:
1. less to worry about (could be wrong?)
2. cheaper
3. instant rushhhh
4. It looks so gosh darn cool purging through nostrils of a WS6
I plan on running spray I think.

Yeah nitrous has a lot of perks, I just dont like the on/off side of it. I wish the power would stay forever, not just at the press of a button. And using a 150-250 shot will empty a bottle out quick. You can hide it a lot better tho, gives more of a sleeper effect.
But I really like the all around power of a force inducted car. And really, with all the troubles I've had in the past on turbo setups, I'm really leaning more and more to blowers. They seem a lot less messy when things go wrong and less troublesome.

Here is my hope: I want to get a 420+ rwhp n/a setup and spray 150 on top of it. I don't imagine many folks on the street would be able to compete n/a with 420rwhp anyway - at least they werent able to a few years ago. I would only spray folks that are spraying or boosting. Plus ... correct me if I'm wrong, but don't you get like 10 full 1/4 mile runs out of a bottle if spraying 150?

Around here, a Mustang that runs a 250 shot only gets 3 out of a 15lb bottle. So I'd imagine a 150 would last about 5-6.
And TRMIN8TOR or whatever makes 414 n/a and then spray on top. He has killed tons of people without even having to open up the bottle. It's damn impressive.
