I have my back seats removed, and the bottle mounted on the trans hump. My favorite was my friend's little brother, who drives a riced out V6 firebird asked me one day.
Kid: "Did you take your seats out for weight reduction?"
Me: "Yeah, nobody is ever back there anyways."
Kid: "Then why don't you take your scuba tank out? It looks heavy."
Me: "Ha ha that is a nitrous bottle."
Kid: "No its not. All nos bottles are blue and orange."
I just laugh. "ok"

My brother was racing this d-bag in a chevelle and his truck puffed out a little black smoke when it shifted(was running rich) and some guy in the back couldn't hold it in, "Look he's spraying!!! Thats cheating." Still cant beleive what ppl say. But my all time favorite is "NAWS".

It smells tottaly differant when you are spraying. Now when people smell it and it wasn't used then they are crazy. But it does have a smell and sound for sure!

One day cruising along I run into two guys riding motorcycles. One guy just flys by, the other decided to slow up and mess with me. Well after numerious attempts I finally give in and run the bike. We went to 150+ before we ran ran into traffic, I won hands down. Now at a traffic light the dude gives me the thumb pushing a button hand gesture, I shake my head no. Well they follow me to a gas station where he wants to talk and still insists that I used nitrous. So I popped the hood and showed him the motor, where I just installed nitro daves custom DP system. Then he leans over to his friend and says "see I told you he sprayed" but the only issue was that the silenoids werent hooked up and there was no bottle in the car. The wires were still coiled up like I got it from daves. I told the guy they weren't hooked up and he said "bullshit I can see the nitrous right there". At that point I said "have a good day" and left.

I haven't even installed my kit yet and my buddy told me I was cheating and should buy a blower so I casually told him if he gave me the other 5.5 grand I would gladly do it, which immediatly shut him up.

I forgot about hearing the "cheating" comment until it was brought up in this thread. Fake hp is another cheating style comment. It showers up on a dyno, it wins races, and it just kicks *** for the money. Doesn't seem Fake to me! Maybe we all live in fantasy world and that is why it is real to us and not others?

So I guess Im one of those misinformed guys, because I have been looking at buying a nitrous kit for quite some time now. But I am always deterred when I hear horror stories, what can possibly go wrong with my car if I have a WOT switch, window switch, FPSS, and a good nitrous filter? Right now I am cam only at 423 rwhp, I also have 42 lb/hr injectors but a stock fuel pump. Would I be biting off more then I can chew if I threw a 100 shot on there?
