when you street race do people get mad that you use nitrous??

Nitrous i run 11.6 on ET streets, N/A a certain local honda runs 11.6
I beat him from a stop on the street and get called cheating, yet we run the same times just i add a part on that isnt usually on when im normally driving. Kinda like adding boost with an in-cabin EBC.
Tell em to quit whinning and get a pay up. They must have ***** envy.

Whoever implied the "uneducated" statement towards me needs to wake up. I'm expressing my opinion just as you are. Niether one is right nor wrong, it is simply point of view. I may still be in highschool, but that does not mean I am dumb. Please do not insult my intelligence because you think your point of view is more correct then my own.
Now back to the discussion at hand. Nitrous takes tuning and time, I'm aware of that. But all I am trying to say is that it isn't near as respectable( To me) as a built car....everyone and their brother seems to be running nitrous, so when I see a naturally aspirated LS1 car running 10's, I think "Wow, that's cool!" But then it just isn't the same when they use nitrous to get there.
I realize I'm fighting a losing battle trying to argue against nitrous users in the nitrous forum of all places......but hey, the discussion came up

i dont understand people that have a problem with me spraying on the street and calling it cheatin. who gives a **** whats under the hood or if someone is "spraying" when your street racing. Its Run whatcha brung. sorry that i spent 1 G and put an extra 200HP to the wheels from nitrous. Its not my fault that you wanted to spend 5gs on a turbo only to get 150 more HP at the wheels. Those ******* are haters. just had to vent, that is all, goodnite

You've neer seen/ridden in a serious nitrous car I'm sure, you've seen guys with all the typical 100-150 stuff. If you ever get a chance to get a ride in a car that's got a good 250 or bigger hit.. go for it, you'll probably change your mind about nitrous.

That guy has his **** together, and has a seriously built car... nitrous will break stuff like there's no tomorrow if not done correctly, and there's still a good risk once you start playing with the big setups. It's not a joke when you're making over 800 hp.... just like any other setup, wether it be turbo, blower, or a 700CI big block.

if ya ever notice....when people lose...they tend to bring up an excuse of some sort. if your using nitrous, that'll be it!
FOR THE LOVE OF GOD.....STOP BITCHIN ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE USING NITROUS.
theres no secret handshake required for you to get some of your own. remember the saying, "if ya cant beat em, join em!?!?"
since when is nitrous not considered a "power adder"...c;mon. this is just as bad as the Chevy vs. Ford fights that go on. give it a rest allready.

People who are uneducated about nitrous are the ones who complain about it. If you have a properly set up nitrous system it is going to cost your a lot more money than you think.
I just dont get it. If you are street racing someone and they have a blower for instance. You are running nitrous and you bet them. Then they start complaining about the bottle. So they tell you to take the bottle off and see what happens. So you tell them to take that blower off and see what happens but yet they dont want to do that for some reason Or if you are spraying on your stock 346 and beat some guy with a n/a 402. He says the same things as the guy with the blower. So you tell him to take out that 402 but he doesnt want to do that either
Its ******* double standards. Pisses me off.

Unfortunately Nitrous has as certain "VooDoo" effect. It seems so easy and uncomplicated on the outside that this guy just hits a button and takes off. It's just different for people & they have trouble understanding it. I don't have nitrous on the T/A YET! but I have had it on other cars in the past, I always just tell them that the bottle is in like it or not, if they want to race fine if not then that is fine to. Unless it's just a friendly race.

Putting a 150 shot on a car is pretty much like running a turbo @ low boost. Both are forcing something into the combostion chamber to make the car go faster.
