Nitrous is better than both of them

Can you have a Turbo and NOS in the same time? How about Supercharger and NOS in the same time?

Yes, as long as you tune your motor and use quality parts.

I would go with a supercharger. Less maintenance, sometimes cheaper. Unless your car is going to be all out drag, then i would go for a turbo.Depends on what you want to spend. Turbos need to betuned alot more frequently than superchargers. the good thing about turbos is that you can change the boost levels. With a supercharger te only way you can change your boost is if you bu different size pulleys.

mustang50, what is your reasoning behind this?

Turbo's don't need to be tuned more frequently. They just spend a little more time on the dyno working out more load vs RPM maps than the supers.

turbos are great, you may have to change ur oil a little more often but thats not a bad idea anyway. I love super chargers but I love turbos too. I like the turbos on smaller engines but I cant dog an S/C on a 302 or larger. Turbos you can adjust boost easier. You can get boost controllers and all kinds of stuff. But S/C or turbo, theyre both expensive if you ask me. I cant say that I would put either on my gt even though I like them. I am opting for the greatest amount of HP naturally aspirated. Maybe when I get there Ill have the money to buy a turbo or S/C
