Really? Including YOU?? If so, WHY HAVEN'T *YOU* DONE IT?? HMM??
Personally, I think they best investment you can make in spraying is a huge wastegate, because the drive energy to the charger is gonna get out of hand in a hurry!

Hohn,
I could easily afford twin turbos or NOS.
But I choose not to buy them.
Some people arent out for the most hp at any cost.
Some of us have to abide by rules or just simply choose to make our power with Diesel only.

True, just somebody that's done their homework, has a little money and willing to spend some time tuning.
Hp is hp, but nitrous is kind of a band aid to inefficiency's of other parts.

If saying that nitrous is a band-aid is true you can also say that even water is a band-aid for improperly setting the truck up on fuel only. It's the same thing. And like mentioned nitrous is not a fuel, methanol is a fuel.

I never said band-aids were a bad thing.

How much power would we all be sportin' without the turbo?

My GENERAL experience with nitrous denouncers is that they are people who are:
1. Ignorant of how it works, and therefore afraid to use it themselves.
2. Upset because someone who used it wore them out.
Nitrous is just another way to make power.
Yes, we all know that nitrous can break stuff, especially if used improperly.
No, we don't care that you know someone who's crankshaft shot out of their block and hit a little old lady in the head, thus making a terrible mess.
If you choose to not take whatever risks come along with nitrous, that's fine. Other people do choose to take the risk. Please don't preach.
Yes, you're Edit is just as beat if the other guy sprays and beats you.
No, crying about him using it won't change the fact that you just got wore out. If you choose to think to yourself that you really didn't get beaten because the other guy sprayed, by all means think that. Just don't make a big production out of telling everyone else-most of us will laugh at you for being a Edit. Not a Edit for not choosing to spray, but a Edit for acting like no one else should, either.
Now, using it in a class for which it's prohibited is another matter. That's dishonesty, and not what I'm talking about.
