This is for Mr. Why Not. One thing I think you fail to realize here is that most of us here know each other. It does not mean that we always agree on certain points. For the most part we seem to come to a common ground which is racing fast cars and having fun doing it. I have yet to see a fast car produced by you, do not know you, nor do I respect your attitude or opinion. Billy and I may not always agree or see eye to eye but he does have a fast car, for the most part typically makes sence, and does not go to the extreme that you do when talking to other people in a negative way. Why do you feel the need to do this? Trust me on this Mr. Why NOT everybody here including myself would like to know.

uh...he told you...

 

and just to add on to this we do not mean your 15 sec hot rod (clunker) that lost to a 91' 305tbi camaro and that should have, would have, could have run 11's but never did.

 

ouch ...

 

sometimes the turth hurts but thats what it is... the truth

 

I think he is looking for a bandaid as we speak. However I would like to hear his answer on my question.

i think he got baned lol

 

That might work, but I have a better idea. Go buy a real bottle heater and put a gauge in your car. Then you will be able to regulate your pressure(a very important factor!) any time. I feel people think when you buy a nitrous kit that's all you need. If you want inconsistant gains of low power then just buy the kit.

If you want to take full advantage of your kit then you have to spend some more money and time tuning it. Yes, tuning your nitrous kit. I am not talking about changing the 'pills' to up the shot, I am talking about adjusting fuel pressure, bottle pressure, spark timing and spark plugs. Sure you can stumble into a good tune up, but I wouldn't count on it. I have been down the track more than a couple times trying new setting trying to get more power out of my car.

I want to add in a little disclaimer about the following statements. I am talking about going fast, not 13's or even 11's. I mean fast! I know we all can't afford to make our daily drivers into all out beasts, but want I mean is if you can't do something the right way don't do it!

I also wanted to add my two cents in on the nitrous/turbo debate. Everyone knows I use nitrous, but I will tell you that my car will eventually be turbocharged. Both are great for adding gobbs of power, but I feel when you start to really push the limits of performance, turbos come out ahead of nitrous. Sure if you are only spraying 200 then your motor might last a long time. What I am talking about is when you are trying to make over 1000hp and expect to stay together.

All anyone has to do is pick up Race pages or FSC and look how fast the turbo cars are going and how many nitrous guys are going to turbos. Those who stay with nitrous are going to cry and beg for rule changes to make the turbo cars slower. That's because the nitrous racers are leaving there motors on the track trying to go faster and the turbo racers are keeping there motors together all season.

If you don't believe me that's ok. Just let's bring this topic up again in two years and see what has happened.

To recap: Nitrous works great and is cheaper to get into, but is harder on your motor when you really lean on it. Turbos also work great and are easier on everything, but have a higher start up cost. You chose your poison.
