The guy that fills my tank up in averill park has a 7sec car with a built (somthing over 700ci) engine that has a dual stage n20 setup. 1200hp without n20 and 2000 with it. I love the extra 3mph trap I got with only a 50 shot. With this, I don’t have to run as much boost prolonging the life of the turbos and still making the same power. Not to mention, I am not always spraying so it would tecnically be less continuous strain on the engine. To each his own though. ---

i can totally understand something like that nick. i bet that 700 cu beast isn’t stock on the inside either, but actually a fully built monster. this is the point i was trying to make… if its an all-out, balls-to-the-wall type of purpose built track car, and the goal is to make as much power as possible, using nitrous is completely acceptable. on the other side of the coin, your setup is well researched and engineered. the fact that when you go wot you aren’t spraying every time, while using the spray and not pushing the turbo’s as hard makes perfect sense. this is what separates a well-planned build that lasts, as opposed to a bolt-on crapshoot. all in all, nitrous is not good for any motor. in moderation its okay, but most people i know take it too far. ---

He’s not calling anyone specifically out, he just said it as a generalization. Most (not all) don’t do the proper mods/research before adding spray. And before anybody calls the turbo/blower kids out, yes, there are the same type of people who do not do the research before adding a bolt on turbo kit. However, it is a lot easier to buy a 50shot kit and put it in your stock neon espresso then it is to add a turbo kit. Like FN Skanks said, a cars engine was not designed for the use of nitrous. ---

the only thing i would say is better about turbo/sc vs spray is your not going to say shit i ran out of boost…now i have to get it filled up my turbo again.(this is just how i see it) again spray is a great for making quick cheap power i’m not against that at all but i would just rather have power everyday then only when my bottle is full. spray adds hp turbo/sc adds hp some like it some don’t that’s all. ---

most of my cars are set up forspray it is more to it than hookin it up for durability and max gain ,like in auto cars the conver and flash point gearing all the same as f/i and just as reliable as f/i in mt experiance i have seen more turbo cars burn up than no2 cars ---

Nitrous is like crack… I can’t wait to build the motor in my car so I can slam a GT3582R on it and spray a dual stage 100/200 shot on it. 600hp @ 40psi off spray FTMFW. ---

Spray is my bitch. Ive run well over 150 bottles through my car, and I wouldnt trade it for anything. Its amazing the instant hit of torque that the spray gives you. ---
