short answer, no. properly tuned, N2O (Nos is a brand name) is the cheapest power adder available. it also cools the engine's intake temp down and we all know that heat is an enemy. Nitrous also has the virtue of adding a good deal of torque along with the HP boost, a welcome addition to any honda engine. just read up on it. NOS's website is a great place to start.

this will answer just about any question you may have.

the most power will result from a direct port wet system but your engine is probably not built well enough to handle this if you don't know anything about nitrous oxide. start with a simple 50 shot and learn from that.

thats what he said, he was explaining that "NOS" is holley's brand name of nitrous. NOS is a brand name of nitrous, not nitrous itself

make sure you get quality solenoids, to lessen the chance of one getting stuck open, n20 backfires make intake manifolds sad.

Here's something to think about. Stuck valve, heat blanket around tank spells VBIED.

Im running a 100 wet shot and have no problems. N2O is not bad if used right and installed right. Used right as in what RPM to activate, when to shift,and how much to spray.
