NOS or Supercharger? Help!

I'm debating between a 50shot NOS system or the Stillen V2 charger. I'm a 0-60 kind of guy, not the quarter mile type. Any feedback on which will give me the quickest time for my purpose?

Jwt has a production turbo????????????????????????The eibach max turbo they did was not produced, is that what your refering to? Any way I say get the s/c gives you the most low end power.

Yea, it was the Eibach Max Turbo to which I was referring. I didn't realize that it wasn't available to the general public. Thanks for info., and your input.

if you like driving fast and racing all the time, get the supercharger but if you like 0-60 runs every once in a while..i say get NOS.

Are your sure? Or are you saying at 2K RPM the S/C will deliver most "power available to the motor"?

I had always thought the N2O would deliver the most, but its highly unusable due to wheel spin?

My only problem is that here in KC, MO we don't have any quality performance shops, with experienced technicians, that do imports. So, if I can't find a ready-made turbo for the 5th Gen, I'm out of luck for that mod.

As you can see, when I first posted, I thought JWT made a turbo (info. from an aritcle I saw); but as max'n out informed me, I was mistaken. I have e-mailed JWT to verify. Do you know of anyone that does produce a complete turbo kit specifically for my ride?

Currently, you have to go the custom route. I'm sure a domestic shop can customize a turbo setup for you.

If you want to set it up so you get nitro at 2k rpm you can and then that would giv eyou alot of low end power, but most people i don't beilve do that. Forgive my vagness I don't like nos so never learned a whole lot about it.

But yeah like kev said right now there is no production turbo. You'd have to do a stillen s/c till the other dudes is out. Or wait for the turbo thats coming. But having seen the eibach max i was not impressed with that turbo setup and it seemed like they coun't come up with a better setup from there coments.
