Nitrous is illegal to have connected while on the street here in California, not sure about other states

And most people want power without having to refill a bottle all the time, it makes sense for a manufacturer to use FI over nitrous, it just fits the average consumers needs better.

Man, you are not using common sense. Any gas under pressure is not going to be stored in a vehicle that is near 1000 psi. You think me or anyone leaves full nitrous bottles stored in our cars if we are not using them?

A 150 is a baby shot even on a 350. Use a wet system and a dedicated fuel system and you'll never have problems.

Till the engine or dedicated fuel pump dies, but that's just the reason to run good stuff.

I don't think my arguments are invalid at all. Nitrous IS dangerous, and requires extensive knowledge & care to be used safely, even post install. It's NOT for everybody, thats the only point I'm trying to get across. Turbo/SC'd cars from the factory are a turn-key solution, as are most well-engineered aftermarket kits. Obviously, buying cheap junk or DIY'ing stuff, ymmv. Boost isn't for everybody either.

Lol, rocket surgery.

Yes, people do leave it in their cars with burst discs and down tunes for evacuation, I have done it, but the fact that car companies all over don't put it in a car factory is not a valid point whatsoever. That's just silly.
