he nailed it. if your running a 4stroke gasser maxx then yeah it would be great. but on a 2stroke they work yes, but thats just because they make it run way lean lol. so no, not worth it unless you just want it to look pretty on the shelf.

Superchargers, don't work on these, they lean it out too much (like already said.)

nitrous oxide, is just a liquid oxygen (I think) so it dumps my oxygen and I heard nitrous oxide is cold too so that will allow more air in there.

You would be much better off playing around with head shims and plug temp and nitro%

All that supercharger nitrous stuff is totally 2fast2furious garbage. if you have money to burn then get a .26 maxx picco or somtn. Besides the superchargers i have seen on the market are really crappy design and really won't generate any boost. they are just mechanically driven fans

In a word.....NO!!!! don't bother wasting ur money on it' because in the end all u will have is a tuning nightmare because the supercharger makes it so u have to lean the engine out more than what is considered a safe level; and because of that it will just cause far more problems than its worth....
