Auto Racing: Nitrous, supercharged car, fuel ratio


Question
I was wondering if you could put nitrous on a supercharged car?

Answer
Alex-

  Sure, it's possible and somewhat popular, especially among racers.  Unless you've got a well built engine I would keep the size of the nitrous shot down...maybe like an extra 50hp kick.  But if you've got some crazy $10,000 bracket motor, then the sky's the limits.  The key would be getting enough fuel but that's fairly easy given the variety of pumps available in the aftermarket.  You'll probably also want to have the combination dyno tuned at a shop with wideband O2 capabilities to get your aif/fuel ratio properly setup so you're engine doesn't destroy itself.  Hope this helps.
