Nitrous Oxide is the cheapest and easiest way to make more power. Most people do not understand how N2O works or what modifications are required to support nitrous oxide in their vehicle. Those that do not understand nitrous will most likely ruin their car’s engine. When installed and tuned properly, it is by far the best horsepower to dollar ratio you will ever invest in your car. ---

i have respect for anyone who want’s more power out of their motor…but i would rather just do it without spray. and no i have never taken a ride in a car being sprayed but i have taken a ride in mike’s (synapse)500hp non sprayed red civic coupe before he sold it and i loved every second of it. ---

well i personally love the idea of not having to spray to win… i rather have the power in my motor all the time…BUT thats just me. i could have easily sprayed a 100 on my ported cobra and had 600=hp and 700=ftlb but i would have wanted that power all the time with turbos or a blower. Plus the cost of those tanks gets expensive after a while. ---

Yes theirs are pro’s and con’s to it…but its by far the best and most effective bang for the buck thats the bottom line. Their will always be nitrous haters, F/I haters…N/A haters…its just the facts and all of it is opinions…but when the opinion actually matters is when you have had experience with either or…and in your case, you havent. ---

I had a 75 shot on my 190whp car and on spray I made 280whp. When you do a nitrous set-up correctly, you will build the motor up to specs for nitrous, that will uphold under nitrous, so I’d say the same amount of “research” to build a motor for nitrous is there. Anyone else notice these “drifters” are the only ones so against nitrous? ---
