Didn't say 100-shot. It sure beats getting 2whp out of a $250 intake. Plus, when you get rid of the 14 year old four banger, and get something that can handle the power, that $250 intake = 0 performance for your new car. Whereas that nitrous kit can be transplanted indefinitely. And the nitrous kit can provide anywhere from 25hp to 350+hp, so you're covered whatever you end up with. That's what I'm planning on doing. I've got an Accord V6 right now, but hopefully I'll end up with another high-powered V8 in the future, and that kit will be bumped up to a 125- or 150-shot, for basically the price of a few jets.

Nitrous not real power? Is it fairy-tale power? I really don't care, as long as it propels the car faster, which it does.

Or you could sink $3,000 in a turbo kit that will put the same stress on the motor, and not be worth a penny the day you sell your car. Or you could waste your time and money buying boltons for a 4-banger, and end up spending more than the nitrous kit for about 15whp. And once again, the day you sell your car, all those boltons are worth nothing.

You're not going to be driving a 92 Accord forever.
