99FRC vette I am not sure which way I am leaning I have a 99FRC with AFR 215 heads, 236/238/112 cam, B&B bullet exhaust, ls6 intake, blackwing cai, Kooks headers,and cant remember which X pipe went on. (new clutch stage 3+ going in) I am going to have the bottom end forged in spring, I am looking at either going with a supercharger or a nitrous set-up. I just cant decide which would suit me better, and if all things being equal which would preform better anyone have any good insight for me?
Thanks

It depends on what you are doing with the car. If you you road race at all I would say nitrous because on the supercharged cars the intercooler block the radiator and causes to much heat soak. I like nitrous better because I do road race, if you want more power it takes less than 5 mins to change the jets (assuming you are tuned for the more power), and its cheaper. With your set-up you could easily throw a 150 shot on with out any problems and unless you run lots of boost you may not see that much power out of the supercharger set-up. The down side to nitrous is it does run out, and the upside to the supercharger is the power is always there. Either way you go it will be a lot of fun!

Thanks for the reply I was talking with my tuner and he was saying that I would need to go with a smaller cam, something in the 224-226 for a supercharger I love the way the car sounds and performs now with the big cam, It will mainly be seeing the street, I was thinking a 150 shot on a progressive controller, if you lined up two identical vehicles and one had a supercharger and the other nitrous would there be a clear favorite? I dynoed at 416RWHP and 405lbs of torque.
Thanks for the help all.

a new nitrous kit with all the fixins' $1k? change plugs to TR6's, you probably already have a bigger fuel pump for the H/C setup, get a tune and youre on your way. easy to install.
supercharger- $5k+? definately longer time on the install, then a tune, smaller cam like you said, and other things like the guys above me mentioned. I'd go with Nitrous! because i used to have a 100 wet shot on my car and it was n-n-n-Nasty!

Thanks fellas I was leaning towards nitrous, but you know how it is I was in my jeep wrangler and was next to a supercharged mustang early today, and that sounded real nice as well, plus i was thinkning be nice to have all that power all the time, I had my friend do up the prices and 3200 for the nitrous kit and new clutch with alluminum fly wheel, and 8-9k for the supercharger not counting clutch, lol guess I can fill alot of bottles for that price 
I also was getting worried over on corvetteforums they have a thread on a vette that burned up because of a nitrous mishap.
On a stock bottom end with what I have so far, what is the most nitrous I can use, I do have bigger injectors and a bigger fuel pump installed.
Thanks all.

Those guys on Corvetteforum are a bunch of pansies!
I LMAO at the comments saying, "this is why I would never touch nitrous" in that thread. That was an extremely rare occurance and if the guy had shut the engine off and/or had a fire extinguisher with him, he probably would only have lost an intake, not the whole car.
Anyway, the spray has worked extremely well for me in my '99 FRC and if you go with the automatic bottle opener, the power is virtually there any time you want. Good luck either way you go!
By the way, I could pass up the opportunity to post another pic of my new set up...

I responded to you on Corvetteforum. Nothing wrong with spray if its done right. Being a member of CF.com... I know most of those guys there like to run all motor or FI. Not to many nitrous junkies over there.

It was actually a Kenne Bell Cobra. My car is currently at Cartek in NJ getting a lot of work done to include a NX wet kit spraying a 150 shot. Im really excited about getting the car back!
