Default Satisfied with nitrous?

Ok guys, if you could go back, would you have rather spend the money on NA parts, or was nitrous one of the better purchases you made?

Just want to know what you guys think after a little while of using the product.

I love it! Set up the correct way, you can go very very fast with nitrous. Would I go back to N/A, never. The only other route I would take other than nitrous is turbocharged (which is extremely expensive).

Nitrous is amazing stuff. You're addicted to it the first time you spray. It can be very safe given the proper setup. I agree with Mike. I would only go with a turbo setup over nitrous. I just happen to have a blower from the factory so I'm going with that. Of course I'm spraying it too.

If money wasn't an option I would go with a bigger cube motor, but I'd still needa turbo or charger on there.

its close because of the times I've filled my bottle I could have bought the turbo to begin with (I have to pay $85 a bottle), if you plan on running it for a few years, you might want to think about the turbo, but....., the nitrous is so damn fun and addictive, if even just to use it to test it out for a while its worth the $800(average)

I agree with the common thought here... would never go back... i ahve sprayed everyhting from my toyota mini truck, 93 Z28, GSX-R, 5.3L Chevy P-U, and now my vette... i will own a turbo one day... that is the only thing that can compare in my opinion... SC'ing has to many maintenance issues.. N20 and turbo are the way to go!!!!
