Boost Vs. Nawz ?

So which one do you think is better ? And for what reasons ?

Looking into both possibilities for my next motor that is about to get underway.

Fire away !

Boost. Cause you never hafta fill it up. It doesn't take up room in your trunk or backseat. No buttons to push....just the gas pedal. That whining noise and consequent pssshhhhh is like music.

Oh, Well I'll have to say NAAAAWWWWZZZZ for a daily driver. A nice dry kit is around $500. Granted you have to pay for refills $25 bucks for a 10 pounder. And it's not on all the time, wear and tear on the motor, too much power in the rain etc. Plus blowers and turbos get hot fry vacuum lines and have to be rebuilt...

that's all I can think of right now

Boost. Having to refill bottles gets very old. With a blower the power is always there when you need it and you will only make boost at WOT. When you're not in it it'll be in vaccum. It'll drive like a stocker until you put your foot to the floor. Larger initial cost than nitrous but over time it'll pay off.

Boost. Its harder to make a turbo/supercharged motor but a lot more fun. Its a lot less technical to drive.

Nitrous is a thing of the past man, its like running a carb'd 302

I obviously prefer boost of the turbocharged variety. My friend runs NNAAAWWWWSSS on his car, (the big bottles, and two of them!

) and it is a pain in the ass. We have rewired the system with relays twice and the damned thing still only works when it wants to. The bottle doesn't last that long, and the system is VERY picky with regards to bottle pressure which fluctuates greatly based on the fill and the temp.
