Why only nitrous?!?!

[drag1320neon]

now, im sure someone has done this type of thread before, but with all nitrous talk going around, i'd like to hear about anyones preference, and why, and why they dont like others. this thread is not aimed towards one setup, i just want to hear what everyone likes

for example, im more of an allmotor hound, as alot of you know. reason being is there alot less to worry about i think, and less parts required. its also a very respected way to be fast, making/taking as much out of what you have, not forcing more in.

i love high rpm's but i'll try just about anything that goes fast.

though, tryin out the whole turbo thing with the mr2... so we'll see how that goes.

[street_racer_00]

I'll try anything that is cheap and that I can do myself .

you know cracker, what ever puts the cars in low e.ts

[flylwsi]

doesn't matter to me...

all motor is more high strung though, more expensive.
FI or nitrous is a less expensive way to make big power.

[Mediocrity]

all motor isnt any more respectable than any other kind of setup.

[MR2Driver]

I love boost, thats just me...

[1viadrft]

If i had my choice (money)... I'd be sporting a Twin Turbo R34 GTR!!!! With some huge turbos!!!!!


Buuuut... I have an NA Z and I'm not rich... nitrous for me! But I love turbo-powered cars... Hell, I like all kinds-of-powered cars... I'm undecisive... sorry.

I've never really met anyone who was more impressed by a car because it was all motor. The only people who ever seem to break that out are the all motor guys It's usually more like "I run 13's all motor" "That's cool". "I run 13's and I'm turbod" "Whoa, can you pop the hood so I can see it?"

I respect a fast car no matter what it has under it. All motor, Turbo, Super charger, both, nitrous, what have you. A fast car is a fast car and it takes work to get it to go fast.

but if you see those two, you'd give more props to the allmotor guy for how he set it up right?

But when your dragging it, and did all you could do to the allmotor setup you could and you couldnt break into lower e.t.s then force induction and chemical mods are a must. As far as being dumb for the amount of money you spend there is no subsitution for doing things right! It will be costly to build your set up and make it last, but it will be more costly to just slap it on a stock motor, be fast for a minute and later find out the results the hard way. No respect from me at all.

I get a whole lot of compliments on my car that will do 13's stock, even though it's turbocharged in stock form.

I've got the most respect for someone that has done the entire package correctly...all the NA mods that have been spoken of done with a turbo, supercharger, nitrous, or any combination of the above (Lancia Delta S4, anyone?) will be faster than a car that doesn't have nitrous or FI. To paraphrase Mediocrity, it doesn't really matter how your car gets to be fast, as long as it's fast. Just because they're supercharged and engines have to be rebuilt after every run doesn't mean that Top Fuel Dragsters aren't phonomenal engineering achievements.
