“Injection is nice, but I’d rather be blown!” is one of those shirts that we see at shows all over the country, and clearly states the wearer’s preferred method for acquiring boost. And after seeing one once again last weekend at the Mooneyes Christmas Party, it made me think this would be an appropriate BangShift Question Of The Day. What is your favorite power adder? Blower, Nitrous, Turbos? Centrifugal, Roots, or Screw Blower? Plate system, single stage port, or multi stage port or plate combo nitrous system? Twins, single, or compound turbos? Nitro methane? What?
TELL US: “WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE POWER ADDER, AND WHY?”

I like the violent hit of nitrous!
Nitrous all the way. No waiting, header flames, the gnarly sound of the engine, the way they sound HUGE when you release the brake. I also love the fear they strike into anyone standing at the starting line that has witnessed what happens when something goes wrong.

Gotta be spoilers, canards, window tints, and big stereos – these are all good for like 100hp I think. LOL.
Nitro baby!
For power: Turbo
For boulevarding: Roots blower.
That’s about the way I see it too. A blower through the hood is hard to beat for the look. But a turbo is my favorite for driving and racing:
– They make great power
– They can be quite docile on the street
– Cooler intake charge than a positive displacement blower
– You never have to refill your boost

nitgrous all the way 300 shot at the push of a button,what a rush!!!
Turbocharger. Nitrous is fun until the engine grenades. Divert both exhaust streams to spool up the first turbo and there is no lag. Switch over to power both when the engine is up to speed.
Tried nitrous but for 2013 going to Blown Alcohol!
Blown alcohol HEMI!
High lifting cam and heavy duty valve springs. Without them, what do you have?
I love em all, but personal preference is either nitrous or turbo. I have a Nitrous car currently and yes it’s a lot of fun!
Turbonique rear axle turbine. Google it. Modern design running on hydrogen peroxide in a Golf GDI. 40mpg drive to the strip then grab your slicks out of the back (don’t mind cause you’ve gutted tubbed and 4 linked the rear end for a live axle) and go pull off a nine, reverse then pull up to starbucks like every other hipster d-bag going for a cup of go juice. Can you say Q-ship?
