Breakin 7's with nitrous vs. breakin 7's with a turbo Breakin 7's with nitrous vs. breakin 7's with a turbo. How much harder is it to do on nitrous? What about lsx drag radial class anyone runnin nitrous in it or is it all large turbo cars?

All I can say is a SuperCharger or Turbo builds power as the rpm climbs....Nitrous is power NOW as soon as the button is triggered...(but they do make N2O controllers now also)
Old debate and still going, on which one's better.

Boost will always get there easier. You cant spray your way faster than boost can get you if all things are equal. Take dudeman on here for example. He has a lq4 on 17lbs that went 8.80. How much nitrous do you think it would take to get that same setup to 8.80's? Plus, how long do you think it would last? He also did that with a Th400 that had no second gear. He fixed the trans but then the boost controller crapped out and he could only run on the spring and make 14.5 lbs and still went 8.90.
Twinturbo2 went 8.80 on a 250 hit but it was an ls3, totally different animal. let's see him do it with an lq4 or lq9.
Boost will get you there faster and be cheaper in the long run.

I would not consider 7 easy but turbo or turbo's is the way to go. There are some people going fast of some junk yard setups. Turbo car let you get out of the hole before it really hits the tires, where a nitrous car puts out stupid amounts of torque down low

Boost has the advatage to leave fairly easy and crescendo(build) to the max HP. Nitrous is on or off. Yes they make progreasive controllers but it isn't the same.
I love nitrous but boost is by far the better way to make big power.

Nitrous is programmable just much as a turbo is.. You can leave out as soft as you want. I don't seeethat bein the reason.
If it was... If you're hooking and using the power you should be able to run a Muhammad quicker et all else equal.
I don't see that being it.

Boost is alot easier on parts, and you usually don't have to run as crazy of camshaft/springs as you do with a high hp nitrous engine. Turbo especially are much easier on engine internals, and can make alot more hp at smaller cubic inches.

The way turbos spool now...hard to say.
Boost is easier on parts since it build pressure relatively even as it climbs.
Nitrous... pretty much a sledgehammer hit when the button is triggered.

A lot easier on parts has nothing to do with the times they run.
Making more power with smaller cubes has nothing to do with it.
Running crazy cams/springs has nothing to do with it.
I'm still wanting to know why a nitrous car is harder to get to 7/8s.
There are definitely more turbo cars in that area... But does that necessarily mean it is harder for a nitrous car to get there?
The way I see it.. As long as you can hook the power, it should be easier to get the nitrous car there since it makes instant power.

Well.. There isn't an "easy" way to run those times.
The nitrous car should ET quicker than the FI cars though, all else equal, because of the torque it adds and everything coming on "instant".
Take for granted both cars don't have an issue getting through the 60'... The nitrous car should have a major advantage.
Compared to FI, it is instant.. As close as you can get to NA power.
