Default Anyone know "The weather man" aka "Thekingpin"

I am trying to get a hold of him, i have some few questions.

He didn't scam me of anything i just need his advice on a build

I tried searching for his email but i came up blank, he was an active member here in the prelude forum so i am hoping someone has his AIM or at least his email.

So if anyone can help me out...

NOS question.

I am planning to run a 4 stage setup, or a 3.

He knew a thing or two about NOS so i wanted his opinion on a few things...

Ther isn't a whole lot of Nitrous help here....
Nitrous is the most efficient way to Drag Race......or you could spend 10x as much to run the same times N/A.....

For some people it isn't about the time, but how they made it there.

I don't think any NA drag guys take nitrous seriously nor use it. Plus, what's the point of something that's going to run out.

Your money is going to run out.....building an N/A 4cyl long before a Nitrous user's would.....
Youve obviously never been in a car with Nitrous....I have this weird feeling that most non-nitrous users don't have a clue as to how long a bottle will last.
One bottle is enough to have a night of fun......10sec@100shot=1lb roughly....Most drag racers don't even make that many passes in a night.
And to add, thats why I have a 20lb bottle......and 3-10s as back ups.
I will probably start to back off a little when an N/A Prelude with &gt;$5k into motor work has made a 12sec pass........

Well......building an N/A motor for RR/AX is a different story......and BTW, I have used Nitrous RR'ing before.....wanna talk about fun?!
I know SCCA rules state no nitrous, but I used it at an OpenEvent

That's actually shorter than I thought. Considering nitrous is a consumable, the cost will start adding up. The fact that it's a consumable at all is a dissuasion, almost like the result isn't actual. Different strokes..

I think you should clarify your chassis......

You didn't just really throw the cost thing out there did you? Don't even go there man......N/A vs Nitrous cost is an inarguable topic. $3/lb
I can make ANY 5spd Prelude run 13's for $500 or less.....that leaves alot of money left over for refills and even spare bottles......Youre right though, different strokes......I preferred to take the quick route to the low 13's and NOW will build a motor that may eventually make 11sec passes.....I can't devulge the info, but if you knew how fast a certain Prelude owner went with Nitrous on a stock-rebuilt motor I think you'd ****.....or not.
