I talked with one of our engineer's/tuner's today and he has done a few kits in the past with NOS on Supra's and Z's and a few other cars and was wondering if you wanted to bring your nitrous in on the bottom end to decrease a little bit of the lag or if you wanted to stack it on top and get that extra 50-75HP on the top end?

hmm thats a good question. I'm going to give my points base mainly for drag racing so if anyone has any ideas feel free to chime in. Both ways has its pro's and cons. If you bring the nitrous in on the bottom end to decrease abit of the lag, those who arent running slicks or at least DR are going to have a hard time getting traction, hence why im programming my window switch to not spray in 1st gear. But then again u decrease the lag and got the power sooner.

But if you spray on the top end u get more power out of it. Personally i would rather go with spraying on the top end. How much lag does the SC you guys are planning on using have? I'm not to familiar with it. I had a Eaton M62 and a Harrop TVS 1320 on my Cobalt and had the power soon as i touched the gas so iiunno how this style SC works.

Centrifugal superchargers do have a little bit of lag but it's not normally as bad as say a turbo kit. Also, we are planning on designing our kit so that there is as little lag as possible, there are some tricks you can do to reduce lag.

Your cobalt used a roots blower which has no lag, instant boost because the blower is right on top of the intake.

To be perfectly honest, I don't know how reliable that setup will be. NOS + FI usually only happens on built motors.

Our engineer put it best...How many massive lines of coke can you do before you have a heart attack...LOL

His recommendation was to do it on the bottom end if you're going to do it. That would be the "safest" place.
