LudeRage - Sounds like you don't understand nitrous

Anyways, nitrous is for wannabes. It's really not a mod. It's like if there was a high octane gas you could buy at the gas station that added hp, saying that was a mod.
Nitrous is not a fuel, nor a fuel additive. If anything its an air additive. It does the same thing a turbo or supercharger does. It forced more air into the combustion chamber. The whole argument makes no sense because you can't get gas that adds HP. Thats like saying "imagine if you could get an airfilter that spins and generates 6psi of boost.. " who cares? You can't, why does a unrealistic example of getting more HP have to do with anything?

Nitrous itself is not a mod, but you do modify your car and engine to use nitrous. by your logic a turbo wouldn't be a mod because your engine always has air, you can get free air at gas stations.


Nitrous really isn't there. Now when you pop the hood..you can see a turbo..and it will always be there..no refills needed.
Funny when people with N2O pop their hood or trunk I see a bottle and N2O hardware :P oh wait, are those invisible?

So next time you go to pick up your car's crack prescription from the NOS shop, just remember that your just killing your car...dose after dose.
You are not killing your car dose by dose if done correctly. It can be safer on your engine than a turbo or supercharger. Why is it that a safe estimate for a stock internal turbo B18 engine, is 50k miles before you have to rebuild?

Each form of forced induction has its advantages and disadvantages. There is a reason to go with any kind. Just because you are in love with turbos doesn't mean there is no reason to use N2O.
