Al's right. Best N20 setup is on a car that's already strong all motor. The juice is good for when you just need that extra push.

Having to depend on the bottle to be quick at all would suck. I've never been able to figure out why people put a N20 kit on an otherwise stock car.

 

This is comming from a racer and not a ''pussy'' I agree with Al 100%..

 

Its not cheating they sell it to everybody... I ran 26psi and a 100 shot and I beat alot of people and some complained but that not my fault I came out prepaired..

 

See, its fine to run nitrous if you dont NEED it to be fast... for people who are already fast but might need the "Racer's Edge" if they happen to bite off a little more than they chew... but if your car is a 16 second monster w/o the juice.... that just aint right, you obviously need all the help you can get, but still... its like cheating on your homework and then if theres a pop Quiz... you wont have the answeres and youll fail. Id rather study (build a strong motor and have the boost) so i can be prepared for pretty much anything instead of the possibility of being caught off guard w/ an empty bottle and a 200 BHP street demon

 

I agree. You can tell Al did alot of homework. It's not all nitrous and who cares. It rides out!!! Thats the last I saw of Al and his bottles

 

You dont neeeed nitrous to go fast but it will make you faster. See there is this saying there is someone that is always faster then you haha he was probbly using a 200 shot with a smaller motor (jk around) and he beat you cuz he had more.ITs like a turbo or blower or ne forced induction they all help you make power but some are better then others depending on what you are doing with your car.If i had a choice of either nitrous turbo or blower i would go nitrous easyer to tune with out many modifications.Also best bang for buck that i have seen but that is what i think. I might just lean towards nitrous cause I will be running it,and think its cheap hp.

2 cents

 

boost is cheating!


































ok quick question. i was reading this post and wondering what you n2o and race gas haters think is fast enought on the motor(and 93) to allow the use of n2o.


seems like everyones thing is, its not fast all the time. say my car runs low 12s on the motor is that good enought to not have the bottle turned on, on the way to work?

 

Those who cry that nitrous, blower, turbo are cheating are the ones who just lost the race because they brought a knife to a gunfight. Pay them no mind. It's just whining and excuse making. It's no different than adding heads and a cam or any other performance part. If you didn't add enough, don't try to blame it on the guy who did.

 

my civic right now is only boosted but due to turbo lag coming out of the hole i dont think its at its peak potential so i was even thinking about buying my old kit back to spray a little 50 out of the hole to cure that little bit of lag and then cut it off around 6 in 1st and run on just the boost the rest of the race..... plus ill have it there for those bridge runs when someone might start pullin but for now shes good for the rolls just take her to about 35-40 in second and stomp the gas and she just dips down and scoots out.....
