N.O.S. Turbos and Superchargers?
The problem with Nitrous, Turbos, or Superchargers are all one in the same. If you use one on a stock engine you will shorten the life of that engine. Unless you change out most of the engine parts. That means with the increase in horsepower you will also have to replace the transmission, drive shaft, and rear end just to name a few. If you add to much boost without having the proper fuel to air ratio then you are likely to throw a rod. So what should you do if you want better speed and response yet you are on a budget? Drop some weight. This is an underestimated practice. Everybody thinks horsepower is the answer but that isn't always true. If you have a 4000 pound car with 400hp and a 2000 pound car with 325hp the second of the two cars is going to win the race every time.

Hi there! How are you? I really like your blog about cars. Like the pictures of the car and of course that video - 'Gone in sixty seconds'. :)
hi bryan,
you have nice blog about cars.
Good info there!Learn something.
nitrous is easily the best bang for the buck! There is no greater hp gain for your car or truck then adding nos
So many guys put on power adders and don't beef up the engine first, i.e. forged internals. They don't think about the added stress that stuff puts on an engine that is not putting out way more power than it was designed for.
