Nitrous and big turbos both will do insane amounts of damage, but the cost to horsepower gained ratio is much bigger if you just buy nitrous instead of spending thousands of dollars on a big turbo setup.

Well who cares then? Let the people who dont know how to use nitrous blow their engines, thats just weeding out the weak. In my opinion nitrous is very effective and safe if you know what you are doing. MTCS with his mods seems like a person who knows how to mod a car, so running nitrous shouldnt be a big problem for him. Just my

What? I could care less if people want to blow their engines because they thought they could have massive amounts of power at the push of a button. That's not what I'm saying. I'm just saying that people get the wrong mentality about nitrous and think of it as a "first stage" upgrade for some cheap power and that's not what it was designed for. I think MTCS would be perfectly fine with nitrous and he should get it. I wasn't advising he do or don't get it, I was just stating my opinion, that's all.

Another good reason why not to use nitrous... Turbo's won't do that.

I've heard that nitrous oxide isn't combustible (contrary to F&F) until it mixes with gasoline

Idk for sure, that's just what I've heard... I don't have the knowledge or balls to run nitrous for anything other than an intercooler sprayer though...

Nitrous is not combustable, if turn from a highly pressurised liquid to a -170deg gas when injected. It gives off a 36% part oxygen content at 560deg when in the combustion chamber. Thats why fuel is injected. If will feed a fire, but wont travel up the lines.

That fucking sucks.. What happend?
