Im a n20 guy and i know your wrong. except foir the cost turbo wins hands down. and the amount of boos t to go the same et is allot less stressfull on the block. ask any good engine builder.


at a 400+ shot nitrous is brutal!

+1, i would much rather do a turbo over nitrous, but right now, money is tight and can only afford a bottle.

It should because it will be twice as much more to MAKE & FRESHEN UP the system . Turbos i do think are in the MY future( because of the last longer, wave of the future , IMO). Nos with Nano on it helps out us nos guys running 350 shot (together), which will be more then i need plus motor to run a 8.50 index class in the summer. Its so simple, Done right is the key. Nos and Nano this season coming.

8.5 con juice is no0 joke in a LSX. only a few guys have done it. and to do it in a class setting will get to be hard on parts.

I had n2o and it was really fun, but also really limited. There were a few days where I refilled the bottle three times in a few hours lol. If I had to do it all over again, I wouldn't.

if bottles are for babies, why are you crying about it. little saying i like

i think n20 is for the guy who wants to go fast on a budget, and thats true in my case. to get the insane numbers off a turbo set up a forged bottom end needs to be their. for 550 rwhp (my goal) a cam and a aprox 150 dry shot will get me their, for a lot less then FI. yea a turbo can make 550 no big deal, but to make that 800+ number a built motor needs to be their and thats when FI owns N20.
and we all know a FI set up with a built motor that make huge numbers is alot of $$

technically, nitrous is more instant power than most turbo applications....it takes time to build boost, nitrous has the ability to be gradual (like boost) with a progressive controller, or it can be instant, which generally isn't an option with a boosted application...

Default Nitrous Boost!!!!!

yeah well I'm running 15#'s of boost and gettin ready to put a 75 shot on for spooling purposes. Large frame rear-mount=lag. 75 shot=no lag! We can work together!
