Really I dont know why everybody thinks that.

Because when they first were expirementing with N2o back in 1912, they blew a motor & rumors just spread worlwide from there...

This thread is funny!!!

I get the "Do you have NOS?" A lot
I just respond with "No, Its a Dyno Tune bottle and Nitrous Outlet Plate"
Of course they don't get it, or they say same thing. I then say is Pepsi the same thing as Coca-cola? other than being a soda? lol

I have heard them all but the worst one for me is just hearing someone say "NAWS". I don't care what kind of smart stuff they said before, when they say "NAWS" it just makes them look like a huge idiot!

The thing is that isn't as bad as NAWS...Because they hear the term 100 shot 150 shot..etc. So there you can't blame them, but NAWSZ you can.

Banks likes that saying. If you do anything besides just drag race your vehicle, I agree. Nitrous is fun but if you have the money to go FI then you have power all the time. I love nitrous but I take no offense to the comment "poor mans HP." You can spend thousands on nitrous but in general it will cost significantly more to turbo or super charge. But for the added investment you get power all the time.
