    What is boost, nos, or fuel pressure? Just trying to learn!

      A form of forced induction normally either a supercharger or turbocharger.

        Boost - pressure applied above 14.7 psi atmospheric pressure by either a turbocharger or supercharger.

        Turbocharger - A parasitic device for air density usually driven by exhaust gases.
        Supercharger - A mechanically or electrically driven device for air density.

        NOS - Nitrous Oxide

        Fuel Pressure - the pressure of the fuel thru the lines as supplied by the fuel pump.

          you got that backwards dom, a supercharger is a parasitic device, it creates parasitic drag on the motor like an a.c.

          turbocharger- just uses what would be wasted energy produced by your cars exhaust to create power. much better and smarter idea

            Correct. I was tired late last night. But which is better depends on the application. Turbos tend to have better fuel economy while superchargers have a broader power band.
