wow.. that sounds like a guy who's got problems..

you feel cheated.. then don't street race.. simple as that.

in regulated sanctioned races.. its is clearly known if you or your opponent has NOS, it is like that because of the dangers associated with it.
if someone chooses to run NOS on their car who are you to judge them?? its a cheap power booster... with an attitude like that you could turn around and say an intercooler is a cheap way.. cause its not "supposed" to be there.

its not like as soon as you hit the gas pedal you have that instant "go juice" its not something that runs all the time... its an instant thing only at wide open throttle.. and its not safe to run an engine on straight nitrous all the time.. ESP if its stock!

I think you should really get out and experience the WHOLE world of racing. NOS IS accepted.. they have racing classes just for it.

me personally.. I'll make roughly 400rwhp.. maybe 475 with my nitrous.
I'm keeping it... there's not much you can say or do about it..

I respect that you have your opinion like everyone else.. but to call it cheap.. IMHO I think thats a little uncalled for..

Well, I dunno, there's some pretty big shots out there, so surely there's people stupid enough to use them on their stock motors.

I've heard of huge gains because of nos I think there was mention of 1000hp gains from a massive injection of the funny gas.

I don't street race first of all, I drive a Cavalier soon to be a 2001 Alero in 2 weeks though.

Yes I realize there are classes for nitrous, they usually run in the power adder classes with the turbos and superchargers.....and that's great, but I just don't like what it is and why it's used.

Here's the scenario....yer at the track, buddy's running a big block camaro that's built....a mid 10 second car with no nos.....you roll up in your stang that's slightly built but only an 11 second car with a big shot of gas. You pull to the tree, green, you go, he's pulling on you the whole way down, at the 1000 foot you hit a little red button and beat him by a car length.....

does that make you feel like a big man? Do you really feel like you beat him? If not for your gas he'd have had you. I think it's weak, it's cheap but people love it. I don't get it.

And as for calling it cheap, it sure is....in that it's an in-expensive way of making power, and I don't like it.....so sue me for my oppinion ok, you can't except that I don't like it because it's a poor mans power adder....grow up.

I'll use nos though......when everything else I can do is done and I need more power. Because that's the only time nos should be used after you've used your friggin head and thought out your motor and you've built it right instead of using the easy way out.

Screw that, I'd rather run a 200 shot on a stock Stang so I can brag to everyone that my Stang runs 11's!

hey bud, not all of us were born with a silver spoon in our mouth.. some us have to makedo with what we have.. when I started modding my stang.. the first thing I did was nitrous... after that is when all the other mods started..... not all of us can afford or can get a BIG BLOCK.. and yes its true... there IS no replacement for displacement.. however not all of us can have that..

in the end.. a guy that is running a 302 against a big block camaro... all he is going to have to equalize IS NOS...

sounds like you're crying.....

why dont let people use what they want... and keep your negative comments to yourself.

I dunno if you're new to racing or what but a well built small block car can go just as fast as a big block car.....engine isn't the only piece of the racing puzzle, there's alot more to it.....IMO, 2 stock cars, one big block, one Fox mustang, the Fox is gonna smoke any stock bigblock cars being that they are usally much heavier cars. Of course there's always exceptions.

Going back to the big block vs small block, a BB is always gonna make more torque, but power wise, unless you're getting REAL extreme with the motor a small block can make as much power as a big block and revs faster and higher...so if you don't get him off the line you might get him at the top of the track.

PS. if this is gonna start into a big block vs small block discussion, start a new thread, I don't mind discussing it, but I kinda just realized we Hi jacked this thread and being a mod, I shouldn't be the one doing that kind of stuff LOL.

lol, I'm just saying a small block can make as much power as a big block, a big block isn't the end all solution to making power....if it was we'd all just buy 572's and be done with it.
