Default If you are new and want to spray...

GET A FUEL PUMP. Just do it. I dont post on here a lot but man I am sick of people making post asking if they can spray on a stock fuel pump. Or "what shot can my car handle". If you don't know, and dont have the motivation to search around for one of the 1.853729 million threads already asking the same question, then just do it, blow you stuff up, go fast, go slow, or whatever happens.

In closing, if you are new to nitrous, do some research and dont just throw a kit on your car. There are at least 100 threads that will answer all your questions on here and there are VERY informative STICKIES at the top of the nitrous section that you can read through.

Sorry, just needed to vent.

Im not saying you need one. My point was moreso, if you dont know IF You need one, get one anyway. It kills me seeing people spend 600-1000 on a nitrous kit for their car but then want to argue about the 90 dollars for a walboro drop in. This is spawned partially from a customer that came in today, and partially from all the threads I see on here.

This Forum has some of the best informayion around. I use the Plug index all the time! Not many other places will the vendors hang and help people not just try to sell them.

Search and search is always best

The search button is PITA, IMO. Often there a million of unrelated threads that pop-up. No one is forcing you to respond. I can't tell you how many times I've read posts like yours as well (venting). Remember there are new guys/gals joining this site every week (if not every day), I'd rather make them feel welcome, not afraid to ask a question, so they don't make a regrettable mistake.

Have you ever read the instructions before putting something together, then called the supplier for clarification? I think repetitive posts are like that. Either way, it's not something to get bent out of shape about.

I have to agree here!! I do alot of reading on this forum but sometimes I am afraid to ask a question or make a statement for fear of getting flamed or be told "go look for it". Most of my posts have been answered very kindly by members but i can understand someone not wanting to look stupid. I believe in the old saying "No question is a dumb question". Just my 2 cents!

Reapar...

Apologies for people who inconvenience car wizards like yourself by asking "dumb" questions. The great thing about these boards is the fact that its a bunch of people teaching others about what worked or didn't.

If you feel 'annoyed' don't log on.

Think of how long it would've taken you to respond with "yes"... instead of your rant.

Special thanks to those who don't mind educating those of us who admit we don't know it all.

I agree.
If you are so above the new guy's asking for a little bit of help, then just skip over those post's that you feel are unworthy of your interest's.
There are surely other's willing to help those who don't meet your standard's.

I never said anything about being "above" or these questions being under my "standards". However, there are days when I come on here and see three threads about the same thing on the first page of the section. "New people" that have questions are more then welcome to ask them. New people that come in here, dont look at any other threads, and dont attempt to look around to find the answer they are looking for before making a thread are the people that im referring to. Its blatantly obvious who these people are.

I have no problem answering peoples questions but I always make sure that I estabolish that its my OPINION on what they should do rather then just fact. Performance and modding is something that is different on every car. Not only that but more specifically different between model years on these cars. You can not possibly know if someone else needs a fuel pump on their car with a 150 shot. The "new people" should take the steps to find out if they need it or not. That or take the extra steps and go ahead and put it in.

The questions being asked aren't "dumb questions". They are questions that have been answered. Over and over and over again.

***For the new people that read this.***
If you have a question that you can't find an answer to, please feel free to ask it. Just look for the answer first.

Actually just put the stock pump in a stand-alone fuel cell. Then you can do whatever you want.
