Thanks guys for all the inputs, sorry it tiik so long to get back to but had some computer problems that took me off ine for the weekend.

Yes I have a 2000 Saleen S281 non-super chargedwith the upgraded Recaro high back seats. It's a great car and I enjoy just cruising around in it. But as we all know cruising cool, but every now and then you need to kick it in the a-- I just thought it would be a little faster than it is. However, since putting the mac flowchamber on it seems to run better and probably bumped the HP up 10-15 HP.
I was supposed to get my 410 gear in this weekend but my friend had to go out of town, so we've rescheduled same for next weekend.
I've been reading about superchargers and Nitous, and thought the nitrous set up would be something different (everyone around is running blowers) I just don't know enough about it to make a decsion. Anyone recommend some good tech articles?
Someone told me to run a 100-150 HP system with a 20# bottle vise a 10# bottle. Comments?
I think the nitrous may be better for me being as I'm going with 410 gears vise something smaller (355-373), with a blower you need a little less gear to allow the blower boost to develop (not sure).
Secondly, doesn't a centrifugal type blower generate a lot of heat vise a roots type blower, and also I heard that it takes about 75 HP to spin a centrifugal blowers.........
