It does NOT have nitrous. The way an article about the car is worded makes it sound like it was still on the car but it is not. They removed the nitrous before installing the supercharger. The motor is bone stock. They are running 12lbs of boost, but what so many people do not get is that 12lbs of boost on this car is not like 12lbs of boost on say a 05-10. The car has Ti-VCT which allows cam timing adjustment on both intake and exhaust cams. This allows for adjustment of the overlap, and the reason the car has good low end and top end. The EGR output is even controlled via the Ti-VCT. It's really advanced.

So think of a car with a larger cam optimized for a supercharger, it may "see" less boost in the intake but is making more power due to the better efficiency. It's like adding heads/cam/intake to a old pushrod 5.0. The same pulleys that make say 12-13 lbs of boost on a stock motor will make 8-9 on a modded motor. But the gain will be close to the same or more for the 8-9lbs than the 12-13 because boost is just a measure of restriction.

My question is what is the big deal about huge HP on a stock engine? Heck you could get even higher numbers than that but if it only lasts for 15 runs who really cares....I am more impressed with high HP on a good build than I ever will be on a stock build..It just says to me....Hey look how stupid and cheap I am!

It's more about testing and reaching the limits. It's fun and useful to see how far a new platform can go when it's first released. People don't really know the safe limits of the 5.0 yet. You have to break a few motors to get an idea lol
