Which power adder?

[IROC-Z]

I'd better not see anyone picking that "rice additive" one. :P

[79 Z28]

nos is the way for me, well actually n/a is the way, nothing better!

[Jewelz]

For me personally cost is an issue since I go to school full time.. so a nitious kit would be a temporary solution until I am done and can really spend my money on a more perminant solution.... Or maybe I'll just get a crotch rocket instead ;)

Good call on the crotch rocket, got one for sale hint hint......

[waltersb]

I don't think I'll ever put NOS on my car....

unless I have a couple of extra engines running around...

better put juice on the bike if you want to hang any of the quick cars over here

[79 Z28]

you know it! ;D

[IROC-Z]

all I gots to say is http://www.yamaha-motor.com/products/unitinfo.asp?lid=2&lc=mcy&cid=5&mid=6

180hp... 379lbs!!! Thats my new bike. Now someone hurry up and buy the old one to help fund it.

[79 Z28]

i like the blue one!! 8)

[IROC-Z]

I'm getting the Red one cause my gear is red and it was expensive and I don't wanna buy new gear to match the new bike.

[Sidwaz]

If I could vote twice my second choice would be other, meaning motor swap, sbf anyone??? I know you want to go fast!

Or better yet, blow up before you cross the finish line. ;)

You guys are wasting your money on nitrous, go buy some stickers. My NOS sticker put me in the 11s and it only cost me $1.

Seriously tho why have one when you can have two, Boost and nos. Its lotsa fun.

[IROC-Z]

just buy a sax speed and you'll be running 9s. ;D

[Ta88gta]

i would but then id have to go out and get some pvc pipe to make a rollcage. Oh and lets not forget the cloured foam padding to wrap it with.

Think I might be right behind you, a 75hp shot should clear out that bog I seem to be experiencing out of the hole.

[Chrisblack99gt]

both :). I'll never get rid of my bottle but a blower will be fun...

[Sideways_Into_3rd]

u should've seen me and duane race on the hwy ... that would help u make up ur mind ;)

his turbo'd supra has dynoed higher than my nitrous fed V8 .. but guess who took the win ? the guy who didnt have to wait for his turbo to spool up ...

and yes we went from a hwy roll .. i was doin 4000 in 3rd when we hit it ...

blowers are worse than turbos in lag ... they only make real power after 5000 rpm .. and the blower maxes out at what .. 6000 ? so u gotta 1000 rpm worth of power ... thats just weak ...

nitrous baby .... the only way to get high

[Chrisblack99gt]

Im saying Im going with both a blower AND nitrous. That's where the real fun is at :)

I sounds like a plan, i may have a spare nos kit kickin around if your interested.

cheap mans power ;D

[blowncoupe]

Sideways, blowers are worst than turbos for lag?and they only make power after5000rpm :P I guess you've never been in a blower car before.

[IROC-Z]

ok.. who the hell voted for "rice additive"??? ;D

sideways has been in a blower car before. i think what he means is because a supercharger is belt driven you dont reach peak boost till high rpm, and then you have to shift and back down you go and you have to build boost again. with a turbo being exhaust driven, if you were able to load up a motor properly with a proper sized turbo you could build full boost at well under 3k rpm and carry that peak boost up till 6krpm, giving you more "area under the curve". superchargers make power its just that supercharger cars are more known to be "peaky"

[Draco]

centrifugal blowers make boost linearly with RPM till you max out their efficiency. This means that the TQ climbs with RPM, making them appear laggy and peaky. on a 10lb LS1 ATI D1 setup, you will get around 3-4lbs of boost at 3k rpm - kinda lame. Roots and Screw positive displacement blowers make max boost fairly early, but hit their peak efficiency sooner so they do not make as much peak power. However they hit peak TQ very quickly and hold it until their efficiency dies off (usually before a comparable centrifugal blower peaks).

a properly sized turbo will own a centrifugal blower in terms of boost and TQ curve.
