Do you feel the same way about forced induction? whether your using nitrous a turbo or a supercharger the ultimate goal is the same, to introduce more fuel and air into an an engine to increase cylinder pressure during combustion. I dont see how it is cheating.

These guys don't understand that Nitrous itself does nothing but enrich the oxygen in fuel. It's not flammable by itself that is why you have to add extra fuel to the mixture.
The other common misconception is that N2O is the "cheap horsepower". Well, if your running a 75 shot in a dry kit you may be right. But my engine is capable of handling 400hp on a single stage. That required a custom $1,400 set of pistons and all zero balanced forged internals along with a billet custom cam. Nothing cheap here, especially when it's done safely and correctly.
BTW: Try making 900HP on a 302 based engine only spraying 250. That means there is 650HP of pure N/A non-cheating power!! LOL

I agree 100% EHA. between the cost of a good engine internals,a good plate (wilson,speedtech etc.) fuel system compenents, and electronics your lookin at dough!!!

We run a NOS Big Shot plate right now. it has 68 micro holes in the spray bars. It almost acts like a fogger. If I ever get the cash though I would like Steve Johnson @ Induction Solutions to do a nice fogger system for me. They are by far the most innovative in N2O systems.

Steve Johnson some incredible work and hes had his hands on the fastest n20 cars in 10.5 outlaw and radial. check out this new fuel injection setup.

Yeah I know. I'm a big fan of carbs though. I run a Barry Grant Gold Claw Drag Series carb. It has replacable venturies and it's an 820 that flows 1,000cfm.
I'm hoping to sell that soon and get a Pro-Systems custom carb. They are the best IMO.
Haggard, do you have your combo listed on here? I'd like to check out your car.

Hey EHA, ive had nitrous on my car for about 4 yrs or so now, and im looking for a bit more. Its a ZEX 125 dry kit, and i really want to do a 175-250 hit. Would Steve johnson be able to set me up with a system? Im looking to get my RPMII intake plumbed for it.
