Whaaaaaaaaaaat?

There's guy on the Heads Up NW board that has a sig that reads "I know a lot of guys who USED to run nitrous" lol... Not saying nitrous can't be made to last in a motor, but it's finicky **** that has a very broad learning curve. Some guys will run out of money before graduating, if ya know what I mean.

I hear ya. The "thought" of running nitrous is very intriguing, but I myself would not run it with my set up. I wouldn't have that peace of mind feeling. Now if I had a well built motor and lots of money to spend, things would be different. If anything, I'm doing a set of heads along with some bigger injectors.

I don't like the idea of having to go fill you bottle to have that added performance. I would rather get a turbo or SC set up and have the power whenever I want it.

Just my .0000002cents

Well for the poor guys " like me ".... I would do N20.. There is just something about looking a the back of a car and seeing the bottle or bottles in the back.

I'm not a fan of nitrous, filling the bottle adds up quick. Personally, I like turbos, change of boost with a turn of boost control ****, you can go from tame street kitten to baby seal masher track monster in seconds

Oh I love turbos also bro. And yes, that would be the way to go if you have the money to dish out. I'm just saying that if guys like us who probably wouldn't go through that much N20, would not spend as much money.

You "say" you won't use much, until you push the button the first time

I know I could honestly say I would not use it much. I can take just about anybody in town and if I had anymore power on the street I would have even more traction issues. It is bad enough when I punch it in third and light them up at 3k and at 6k on dry pavement. I would mostly just use it at the track.

I'm glad you decided to keep her. You would kick yourself in the *** if you sold it.

If I sprayed, I would only do a 50-75 shot which I would think is small enough to avoid problems if set up correctly.
