Hey everybody, I am just trying to figure out why nitrous makes soo much torque per horsepower rating compared to a supercharger making the same horsepower.
For example an 04 Mustang gt with a nitrous shot of 150hp is making 340-350hp to the ground but the tourque is 445-460ft/lbs.
A twin screw supercharger making 340-350hp, but making 363ft/lbs.
I got these statistics from cars with the exact same mods, but just the power adder is different. I know how nitrous works and how a supercharger works, I just don't know why nitrous produces soo much tourque. I know it is an oxidiser and cools the air charge and probably gets a more efficient burn of fuel than in a supercharger application.
Can somebody explain this to me?
