Default Thinking of selling the juice

Well i have had a bottle on this car for some time now. And i have yet ot personly own a vehical with a supercharger of some sort so i am thinking i might sell the compucar nitrous kit and try a ATI procharger or Vortec kit out. But i cant seem to make up my mind it will cost me at the least $2,200 plus sell all of my nitrous part which is around $600 dollars worth used. That should cover a used kit and a tune. Also i dont work right now i am a full time student i get my extra money from grants etc. and thanks to my parents at the moment have no bills (thank god). But i wont be able to get money will early summer when i will be working again.

So what do you guys think should i sell it and get a blower or leave it and see what happens money wise with me.

I do have a good amount of cash saved that can easly cover the blower and leave me with some money incase i have tranny failure etc..

Honestly I think you'll make more power on juice.......you have a fast car as it is.....I say keep it and build your engine you know heads and cams so you give it a bigger shot......hell 2 stage the thing

I know your block cant handle it but from what you've taught me about nitrous...it seems to me is build your engine strong enough to handle what ever nitrous shot it can handle. Sorry to say a supercharger has its limits to the amount of HP you can get from it but with nitrous you can spray a higher shot at anytime.

My friend stocksilver 02, whom doesn't post much on here, has a fully built 2v engine. P&P heads,comp cams, etc, etc... and can i think he's spraying a 175 shot. I think he can go higher but says a 175 shot is good enough.
