[QUOTE="BillyGman, post: 2472297, member: 19962"] I agree. Nitrous just seems like some temperary fix to me, while supercharging is permanent. And you don't get something for nothing. There's always trade-offs. I cannot speak from experience about Nitrous, although I can about supercharging. But my impression about nitrous is also that it's more challenging to tune an engine with it than it is an engine with a supercharger, because the outside temperature will effect the pressure in the nitrous bottle, and therefore determine how quickly it gets into your cylinders. And since Nitrous is an oxygen laden fuel, then if you get too much of it into the cylinders due to higher bottle pressures caused by hotter weather conditions, then it can cause a lean condition. And leaning out with nitrous oxide can be disasterous for your engine. These are generalities I'm talking, but the point is that you have more variables with nitrous oxide than you have with supercharging. And the engine tuner of choice has to allow for those extra variables while setting the tune for your nitrous equipped engine. If he doesn't, then you very well can be looking at a destroyed engine down the road. [/QUOTE]
