meth or nitrous?
meth or nitrous? i have been told that meth is less safe than nitrous when using it with boost. but i thought meth was the ultimate additive for boost. can someone straighten me out. thanks

But isn't it true that if Meth stops spraying during a hard run you can lose the engine, where if nitrous stops nothing happens but a decrease in power output????
On the other hand, while a failed nitrous delivery wouldn't be a problem, I'm sure we've all seen the rather explosive results of a wet nitrous MIS-delivery.
I think it kinda depends how close to the edge you run with either route.

Same with N2O, a small DRY shot would really only benefit you due to the cooler air charge. While the extra Oxygen carried by the N20 would be marginal at such a small shot and therefore not compound the detonation tendencies as bad. But the PCM would have to be able to provide the extra fuel for the N2O.
So like he said above, they both can be just as dangerous to your engine given the right circumstances. Just depends on how close to that ragged edge you wanna go. The closer the more dangerous it gets.
