Better to run nitrous or more boost?

[Boostisgood]

Im getting my CPT-70 BB, stock ported heads and intake next week.......just out of curiosity, i was wondering which will net you better ET, mph by...... Running 20 psi and a 50 shot.......or 25 psi? Does anyone have any before and after timeslips with nitrous? Thanks for any help.

I think you would be better off with the 25lbs of boost and if you interested in nitrous use it off the line and have it shut off at 20lbs of boost. It will end any turbo lag and will help cool off the intake. If it is either/or situation I would say the 50hp shot would be better if you not going to pick up 50hp with the extra 4lbs of boost ( you will pick up a pound of boost with the 50 shot of nitrous) and the more advance timing that you would have because you will have to retard the timing with the nitrous.

YES, yes indeed....listen to CHUCK. it will help GREATLY off the line and have a switch to turn it off and back it up with a safety switch or a BOV...that might be a little extreme here but they help. HTH....and let us know how it works out.

I find it most effective to run both. some people like to play the scared game however.
