Ok, let me be the first to advise against Nitrous. I know there will be pleanty of people here who will argue with me, but I have heard too many horror stories about blowing the Intakes on our cars, due to fuel buildup in the intake. That said, I would recommend a centrifugal supercharger, aka Vortech, Paxton, ATI. They build boost as the rpms rise, so having a HIGHER gear is beneficial because your rpms will rise faster, and you will get into boost earlier. I'm not sure where you're getting your info, but I have only heard of race blowers requiring that much power to spin... 75hp is a bit high for a street setup. Also, the screw type superchargers generate just as much, if not more, heat than the centrifuge type...

Hope this is helpful..
