Default Simple Question.

Why do so many people talk down on nitrous oxide when it does work, and when a proper setup is NOT cheap? I don't understand it.

I see what you're saying, but .... I dont see why some people rag on it when they get beaten by a car using it. Or sometimes, DONT even want to race a car using it! The bottle running out is the users issue... but I dont understand the bad talking about it being "cheating", etc..

WHO CARES?! maybe the user doesn't mind if it is not there all the time, and they dont want the constant "abuse" of a turbo. I myself like the N/A feeling of a honda for taking turns, but I like the n20 for dragging. Why should a versitile setup deserve disrespect?

damnit, this always pops up!

nitrous is not cheating (though there is the cheater system ). going fast is going fast. nothing more or less about it. I just think it's lame to have that as your main tool in your go-fast goody bag, because it runs out VERY quickly. I'd much rather have my turbo than a larger shot of nitrous, because I can tear around the country all day/night and not have to refill a bottle.

Personally I think its a waste of money. I used it all last summer, had to have gone through like 35 bottles. Its just a waste........around here its $35-40 just to fill a bottle and when I'd get it filled it would be gone that day. I thought it was a cheap alternative for HP (which it is) but in the long run I've spent more than I would've liked to. And on top of that I started to think my car was super slow w/o Nos. I give Nos a big for making me broke and not being able to afford my turbo now

the larger the shot, the more you use...there is onyl about 8 actaul pounds in that 10lb bottle...that would mean freezing the bottle for 3 hours, filling the bottle for 40 bucks, and using it all in one night....

I installed a turbo kit in around 3. 5 hours, that'll last you for years

nothing likea healthy shot of n2o to spool the t-76 though

Wow.. that makes a lot of sense. Even after it is explained you act ignorant, and rude.

As far as the person who is boosting with 260+whp, I have no hatred towards them. All the power to you. I will be running in that range after I do cams. Im gonna build the motor, and run the direct port setup.

No reason to rag on it. Maybe the person only wants to go fast in a straight line on occation, and they want the car to feel/run all-motor when they RR or AutoX.

I dont wanna drive around with a high compressed metal bottle in my trunk hehe. Seriously though, nitrous is good but refilling it and having to open the bottle each or (or get a remote bottle openner) is a pain. Its just nice to have power on tap and all you gotta worry about is flooring it.
