Default ot: TURBOS SUCK...

....then they compress, then they blow.... heh heh heh...

What I really wanted to know shouldn't really be in this forum, but as we all know... there is a large amount of brain in the FI forum and I have gotten more educated answers here than anywhere else.. but...

I have questions concerning N/A motors and some REAL questions on nitrous. I really want to know where the best place on the HT is to ask questions related to this and actually get intelligent answers. I really don't want responses like... "Get CTR pistons and a 100 shot y0 !" I need questions answered, where should I post ?

Yes, I know that the FI forum is also for nitrous as well (I don't think it says it on the descriptions anymore tho). But I have posted some nitrous questions and no one ever seems to actually respond with a relevant answer. It's almost like asking an LSVT question ! That's why I am asking... maybe another part of the forum has more people that either run or talk about nitrous.

Thanks for the info so far... I will try to hit up lilblue later, hopefully he has nothing to do all day... like me !

Kewl, I intend to use a plate system if and when I add a system to this car. I intend to run a high compression on this car, looking at 11.5:1, pump gas, with an occasional 50-75 squirt in the future (track mostly). Now will running that high of a compression with nitrous not be advisiable ? My co-builder wants to go with 12.0:1, but we are still debating and definitely want to go with an 11.5:1. Now I have talked to a couple of shops in the search of the perfect piston and at least 2 did not favor running N20 on anything higher than 10.6:1 (why 10.6 ?). Now I don't believe shops, the employees are mostly full of it and don't know their *** from their elbow... but there must be some reason they dropped so low right ? I KNOW people run N20 on higher compressions, but what would be the daily driver limit considering a forged piston ? 10,11,12 ? To tag on this one... how close to the ragged edge would the motor be on a bottle ? This will be my girl's daily driver and I don't really want her to run nitrous if
it's going to kill the motor after a few dozen sprays. If she wanted that, she'd go turbo... heh heh.

Thanks in advance
