Nitrous makes HUGE torque peaks. As ive seen on alot of cars, a “100” pill will make 1XXwhp and around 150wtq. ---

OOO so on an already torquey V\* it might be tire melting overkill. Although it might help when the motor gets asthmatic around 6000rpms. Hmmm this could help tune the car to rev to 8000pms and have a reason to do so i am thinking hmmmm ---

If thats true, throwing a turbo/blower, or hell even putting a cam in is cheating. Everyone leave your car stock so youre not a “cheater”. Its a way to make power, and alot of it if you want to, and its cheaper than alot of other routes. I like it for its simplicity. Dont have a turbo, s/c head unit to die, not blowing off hoses, havin boost issues, etc etc. Well the way Im thinking is that a turbo/supercharger is always on and always there. Nitrous is usually only used occasionally, either when racing, on the dyno, etc. Turbo/blower is on all the time while driving. Maybe not full boost but its still there. Nitrous is often a sneaky install so theres that aspect in which its technically cheating. Ive seen nitrous blow up plenty of parts/motors so theres still breakage. ---

Hi my name is ewok and im a spray-a-holic. ive have very good luck with spray. tuning is a major problem people have and what makes people experience end sooner then others. pulling timing and colder plugs have made a huge difference and can save alot of parts from puking out the bottom of your car. i prob spent well over 900 dollars in bottle fills over the previous summer. hoping this year will be alittle more interesting with all the internals upgraded in the turtle this year. ---

Nitrous increases torque significantly…my civic went from 152wtq to ~260wtq on the 75 shot…I’d say that’s a pretty good gain. ---

Well I’m on the fence. My car has ran in the 13s on a stock motor and I like to say that it was all motor. Fast for a 2 ton car. On the other hand, I have had a nitrous setup sitting in my room collecting dust for about 2 years now. ---

Don’t like anal rape? Well unless you have experienced it you can’t say whether or not you like it. let’s not all get our panties in a bunch, I was stating an opinion. I don’t use spray…why…because I don’t need it. If I were in a situation where it would benefit me significantly, then maybe. My point is, it seems like a cop out for too many people in order to gain hp. I personally (ok this is opinion here) would rather build an engine without spray and have big hp numbers, spray would be one of the last things I added if ever. And yes K20, all of us “drifters” don’t need spray like you “racers” ---

To me, putting the money into a SC or Turbo would make more sense in regards to longevity and in the long run affordability. I am not against nitrous but I would rather put my money elsewhere. ---
