Well as anyone knows, the 4th gen fbody drivetrain after the engine is fairly weak when exposed to big hp/tq. Mostly the 10 bolt but also the clutch and other things are factors.

I thought about it and I really don't think nos shocks the drivetrain like other power adders. With a window switch and wot switch, I would think that the nos would turn off completely during a shift so the shift would be just the same as stock. When the shift is completed, the nos adds power quickly but it is gradual rather than sudden shock. Also if you don't spray on the launch, you have a stock launch as well w/o any extra shock.

Just wondering if I am right with this thinking. Can anyone with a system on their car please elaborate a bit?

You have it a little backwards, nitrous shocks the drivetrain harder than any other power adder. If you look at a dyno graph of a nitrous car you will see a 100-300ftlb jump in torque in 200-300 rpm after the kit is activated. Even if you are already rolling that is still hard on parts.

Nitrous not only stresses the drive train components the most, it also stress the engine components more. Y the huge amount of cylinder pressure that is created at the opening of a solenoid.(and peoples greed )

lets say 150shot. ever time that noid opens its 150hp.

Turbo and blowers, power is mostly linked to rpm in one form or another. SO their power increases are not instant. This is also why a turbo car can yeild more power on stock botton end than a (NON-progressive) nitrous system/.

Now the other side of the coin. Since the power is instant this is also why the nitrous car can be quicker. May not be faster but quicker. The fasatest Pro-mod in the world is a nitrous car.

Yet at the same time while it's more explosive/instant power.. I think it has it's longevity benefits over forced air applications being that it's not constant wear and tear on the drivetrain, nitrous is only being used in small instanced when you need it.

Yeah i wasn't including adicts man.. not everyone abuses everything! He got kicked out of the Nitrous Addicts Anonymous the first day when he ran outside to do burnouts in the parking lot

and you either buy that big bottle from your local airgas supplier, or someone that resales something they bought from a local airgas supplier..... there is one other company, but they have something like <10% of the market for industrial N2O

Scott, check your voice mail, give me a buzz. thanks
