Its hard to beat the torque and room to grow the TT will give you.
nice point but then again how long do people actually keep the cars after they go FI? you said you already had many SC and TT cars. I may in 2 years just get rid of the thing lol.

The other cars i went FI on got old mostly due the drivability and lack of luxury where as the Gs keep the drivability and have the luxury also you don't have the boy racer label with Gs either. But if you have vehicle A-D-D I wouldn't supercharge it either thats alot of money to spend to sell it 2 yrs later. At the end of the day its your money and car if it were my money and car it would be TT. Horse power is nice but torque is where you get the fun factor my car has over 620ft/lbs of torque at 4900rpm its insane and super chargers usually don't offer that kind of torque at low rpm and I can't seem to find about GTMs super charger. I guess its the age old debate SC vs TT the above is all just IMO. Either way i am sure it would be bad a$$.

I would just do a SC with nitrous.

It is actually my plans and what I did before with my RSX. It is a perfect set up. I had the supercharger at 9 psi which gave plenty of power for daily driving and low stress on the motor. If I really needed more for a track or something, I could just open up the nitrous bottle and add 150 shot to it. Torque is good with TT, but nothing can match the torque from nitrous.

SC plus nitrous is honestly an amazing set up and pretty much perfect. You get the reliability, lower cost, less stuff to go wrong, more power on the low end, crazy torque, and it is much easier to adjust for more power by just changing jet size.

Usually just nitrous isnt a good idea unless you already have a strong power base. 300 hp really isnt that much, so you will constantly want to be spraying. It will get costly very quickly.

But if you have a supercharger, you can easily have 500 whp. That is usually sufficient for the average person to drive around with. Then if you need little more for the track, you open up the bottle and you will have around 600 hp, 700 tq.
