1. What is the difference between a blower and a supercharger? 2. Why isn't nitrous a choice?

A supercharger is mounted down in front of the engine and a blower sits on top of the engine.
NITROUS IS FOR PUSSYS!!!!!!!

Nitrous is for engines that dont have the power to keep up on their own. I guess you could say the same about a supercharger, turbo, or blower.....but that isnt as bad as nitrous.

You could say exactly the same. All are power adders, just some are more parasitic than others. How are any of them better than nitrous?

Superchargers, turbo's, and blowers, along with nitrous in some sense says that you couldnt get enough power out of your engine...so you have to boost it. I myself like an all motor set up. Blowers look cool sticking out the hoods of cars.
I just havent ever really liked nitrous. Plus now that this fast and furious crap...everybody ahs nitrous. Even on stock CRX's. Not to mention everybody now thinks that when you hit the nitrous button your car turns into a rocket...everything gets blurry and you can fly past anything you want. lol

It's kind of sad really. I see all these kids that don't know sh*t about it tearing up their cars all the time. Nitrous is like any other power adder. If your motor, rearend, transmission, ect., won't stand up to a little boost then it sure isn't gonna stand up to nitrous. And to top it all off, I'm surrounded by all these nitrous experts locally all of the sudden. I've been using nitrous on my cars since the mid 80's and I've got kids that can't even change their own oil telling me about how I'm gonna blow my engine up. Makes me sick. 99% of the time, if someone asks me now what I've done to my car, I just tell them it's stock. It just isn't worth the time.

Yea, ive seen too many stock hondas with only a K&N filter running 150 shot of "NAWWWS" lol. Guess they dont realize they need to change out some internals to keep from blowing the engine.
I also think its funny how everybody now calls it NOS even if it isnt the NOS brand. NOS is a brand of N20/Nitrous Oxide. Oh well, maybe they will grow up someday.

Yeah, you would has to be going about the speed of sound or something.and even then, the g forces are probly pushing your eyes back in your head and making it seem like its blurry.

NOS(nitrous oxcide) is made by holley and in some aplications its in good use if you got it all done and you want something to toy w/ but if you use it as your main sorce of hp it kinda kills the fun but hey, if you want to make a big for nitrous even tho its not on the poll ya can.
