So is a supercharger cheating as well ?


Far as people being afraid of Nitrous, it is safe as a supercharger. i am spraying a 125 shot and i have sprayed about 12 bottles threw her ***.
(knock on wood). Nitrous is safe as long as you have fuel, colder plugs and can adjust your timing. I paid 300 dollars for my nitrous and im running mid 13's with just bolt ons. I am very happy with my times.

I figure I'm around 14 flat or so. That's just my guess.
you figure a 14flat with current mods? how is that?

The charger is always there so it would not be considered cheating. I say cheating b/c if someone wants to race on the backroads for money and ya'll exchange mods but you don't tell him your spraying. Well, it's a good start, tip for tap and all of a sudden you blow his doors off then he'll know. Now you cheated him for his money and he wants to roll you.

I wish 14 sec flat was as easy as that...using that measuring stick I would be deep in the 12s soon.

I'm still with ya chief. It's to easy to fudge the spray. You could easily tell someone it's a 100 shot but in actuality it could be a 150 or even a 175-200 shot. It's just to easy to fudge the nitrous specs.

Same goes for how much boost your running. I just cant see spending 4-5k on a sc or turbo when i can get the same out of nitrous.

My supercharger doesn't need a refill, I don't have to turn it on, and I don't have to open the supercharger up before it will work.

Best of all, I can say I run 12's with no NNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWSSSSSSSSSS

The way i see it is run what you brung. Ive had nitrous and 2 blowers. for everyday driving and fun id have to go with a blower. But thats just me i like to do burnouts and kick it sidways everywhere to. If i was to have a car just for racing id run nitrous over a blower.

It really doesnt matter how much nitrous you are spraying. Its run what you brung. If you didnt bring enough well thats your fault.
Nitrous may not always be there but its there most of the time.
I can spray about 10 times on one bottle with a 125 shot.
I can beat 10 people in one night at least.
