intake vs nos

[dsm430]

what was i thinkin i almost forgot about intakes, do you guys think instead of nitrous ,it would be better to get a intake manifold like a j-fab????

[DontStopMe]

no, the two don't even compare.

[dsm430]

eventho you always have intake ,bottles run out

personally i dont have much respect for a car relieing to win or get times off a bottle.. its kind of the easy route.. no skill, no thought, no work... i rather lose to a neon than a bottle fed car, because at least i then know the neon put in work..

ooooohh i got more hours in this car than most peoples, so i m not cheating, i only had this car a few months and it has paint,rims,fully built lower and upper engine,ported(mild)i have 272 cams, titanium valvesprings, retainers, eagle rods, ross pistons, light weight flywheel/clutch
everythings clean (not kobbled)and i did all the work myself

i need more speed and right now moneys tight(home owner)
and its the only thing i can get for the $$$

If you need nitrous to get more power out of your car then your turbo isn't big enough. There's plenty of other things to do before you absolutely need nitrous for that final push to the limit of your setup... More boost, race gas or E85, etc.

nitrous is the best bang for the buck, hands down.

it's not cheating, anyone can do it cheaply.

now if the driver complains they cannot race you becuase their bottle is empty, or not turned on (at a stoplight, etc)... then that's a bitch move. but if they are prepared to run at any moment... what's the difference?

i have a big evo16g (real one), if i can find a bigger turbo for a good price ill get one, but im getting married this august and cant aford one now


so bang for buck it is

and for u guys who think its cheating why dont u get it, see if your engine is good enogh

mines already built to be fast w/out nos, i just want to go faster

[Devlish]

^ agreed.

it's no different than buying a bigger turbo for your car, except that it's cheaper! and either way, your motor needs to be able to handle it!

and its not like i payd somone to build me a sweet car, or went out and bought somones car that they built.

i spent countless hours on it and made it "my car", it was a blown up pos when i got it (compleatly stock)

its allready going to smoke cars i just want to really leave them behind

CUZ I GOT GOALS

I use to think bottles were for babies. Then I bought one :). I'm simply trying to max out my 14b at the strip, otherwise, the bottle is hardly ever used. I also on ran a 25 shot 80% of the time and a 45 the other 20%. I could see how it would be kinda week when people are running a 200 shot and there car is 200HP lower off the juice.
