oh and in 100 fills i would of only spent $2,500 considering i only fill the bottle maybe 3 times MAX a month thats fine with me. I only use it when i race or see a good victom on the street so in realitly its maybe 1 once a month.

So its still worth it money wise.

may not stress the engine all the time...but all it takes to **** up your engine from nitrous is once...no thanks, and blowers seem easier to install to me...esentially bolt on, rather than nitrous with wiring , hooking the hoses up, bottle warmer...etc

no way a blower is easyer to install. took me like 5 hours to bolt in and wire my nitrous kit. and a blower could just liek nitrous could blow it up if you do it wrong.


anymore?

nitrous is crap for a street car. if you use enough to actually have a fast car, its too dangerous. the bottle pressure must be the same everyshot. you cant get into and out of WOT randomly, well you can, but the motor wont last. the mixture has to be dead on, and with substance in a bottle its tough. you cant hit rev limiter or you die. its illegal, nitrous is intended for the car to be started, WOT down the track with a full spray, then shut off, refilled and done again. that being said, if i had a track car i would use n20. street car, get a blower, have fun, and whoop some nitrous cars.

oh, and if you dont have a power adder you shouldnt post here. stop acting like you know

I can't say i agree with you...nitrous can be as safe and dangerous as you make it! Follow all safety measures and you should be ok! When you run a power adder you run risks of blowing **** up! If youre gonna be scared of blowing something up don't race IMO! I've heard running anything over 9#'s on a stock 2v will blow things up, they also told me my car wouldn't last 6 mths on the juice,......2 yrs later my car is running as strong if not better than the day I bought it!

its not the amount of power im talking about. its the risk of a dangerous mixture. once u tune a blower car your done. you tune a n2o car and then bottle temp changes, you run low, its empty, electrical problem, boom.

also, what road race cars you see with n2o? none. because it only lasts a few moments. its made for a quarter mile pass. thats it.

Now you're changing the subject...I think both power adders have its pros and cons! What I like about my nitrous is that I can don't have to use it all the time, just when I flip the switch, on blown cars, you're running boost constantly, granted it depends on youre set up! I know some blowers don't start making boost until 3k or something like that. When push comes to shove, I personally think that turbos are the most efficient power adders, but they are expensive as ****, otherwise I'd be running one, along with a forged motor..

turbos are inconsistant as well. lag, temperature, engine resistance, all plays a factor in boost. also, notice there arent any good turbo 2v. all the kits lose power rapidly after 5k rpms. all the ex turbo guys went KB or centri. also, blowers dont give boost until you get on it. there is a thing called a bypass or blow off.

Having low bottle pressure doesnt make it unsafe it just makes it richer aka safer.
And nitrous on a street car is great. no stress all the time and only stress the motor when needed. extra hp is just a flip of a switch away....

rich is safe? NO!. my tune from ati was rich and it fouled all plugs, burned fuel like water and bogged the car even on idle. hell, hit it too much without n2o in the bottle and it will be so rich for so long it spins a bearing
