nitrous vs. charging

I was wondering in opinion which one of these would be a safer application. rught now i have a 2000ss with full length and a 220/224 .581 cam. and exhaust. i have a zex wet kit that goes up to 125, would this be considered safer to use then a charger. as far as weraing the car out. any info would be great. thanx.

They get expensive though.

The only reliability issues you'll have on the bottle is if you spray all the time. IMO, dry kits are safer due to the way the runners in our intake manifolds are. ZEX makes very safe systems, so I don't think you'll have a problem. ZEX systems will shut off if the fuel/air gets dangerous......

If you go the supercharger route on a stock LS1 engines CR, you'll only be able to run 6-8lbs of boost safely. Although, that will still make assloads of HP!

JMHO...........
