it's been a while snice i posted on my old name [nismo racer 28].

i was on my way home from the movies after seeing valentine and dropping my girl off. pulling in to get some gas at the Spur gas station i heard a rumble pulling in a blue with white rally stripped chevelle ss pulls up to the pump beside me that car was so damn nice and sounded great too. after paying for my gas i go talk with the chevelle's owner, i just had to ask him "wanna race?" the guy gave me a smirk and said "ok" telling him me follow me to this long strip of road running through a busniess park he said ok. i got in my car and waited for the chevelle guy to come out the chevelle pulled out and trailed me all the way to the spot where we'd run about 1/4 a mile of a stright with a slight left hand bend. we'd launch as soon as the light turned green[we were staging were the street lights were]when the light turned green i launched like a bat outta hell along with the chevelle i got a 2 and a half car lead on the growling v8 as i shifted to 3rd doning about 90-95 at the moment as i hit the center spot than all of a sudden it happened the guy used Nitrous you hear me Nitrous!!! and smacked the pure crap outta my sr20det powered ass. after slowing down to a legal speed limit i see the chevelle in a parking lot. i stopped momently and rolled down my window, i told the guy nice race altough i had hard feelings cause the rat bastard sprayed. but hey, that's street racing for ya. till next time race smart .

Why do people get mad when they get sprayed? If a guy builds a motor for nitrous, chances are that it's quite a bit slower without it. (retarded timing, colder plugs, etc.)
Think of it this way, if he had a turbo motor, do you think he'd turned boost controller down? I think not!

Nice run though, I gotta give you credit for having big balls for racing a big block with a 4 banger! Even if it was an SR20DET!! ;)

I have nitrous, it doesnt make any noise. The engine sounds exactly the same.

I'm not calling you a liar, but EVERY engine that I've heard sprayed sounded different than normal. Sorta makes it "grunt" when spray it!

When the nitrous kicks in the motor revs much faster than normal. The only noise the system makes is when the solenoids open, its like a slight nock, but you have to really listen closely for it.

if your standing behind a car and the exhaust goes real dark all of a sudden, guess what, NOS.

but as far as everyone thinking NOS is cheating, why? how's it different from using blower/turbo?

That would be nice if there was a production class in street racing. *leafing through his street racing handbook*, no I don't see anything about it!

I have said it before and I'll say it again, You show me a rule book for street racing and I'll kiss your ass! How can you cheat, when what you are doing is illegal? It's like going to the cops and telling them the local crack dealer ripped you off!

Dont bitch and cry about "cheating" just because you get your ass beaten by nitrous'd cars. If its legal in the NHRA, thats good enough for me. Your argument about it not coming off the assembly line is a garbage. By the looks of your sig you have a stroker, I guess thats cheating too since strokers dont come on production cars. The bottom line is that if I squeeze and I win the race, it doesnt matter if you are N/A or if you think its cheating, I still won. Dont think you are superior to everyone who uses power adders just cos you are N/A.

So I was checking my Honda production numbers, and found out they actually produced five hundred thousand LS-R las tyear and hope to double that this year.

Major reasons people don't run NOS:
1- don't know how to use it
2- heard crazy stories from their dumbass friends who have melted their motor with it
3- class regulations
4- Haven't installed it......yet

If you want to run stock numbers, why race? the factory put out all the numbers. If we are going to compare them that way here you go- A dodge A/FX racer with a hemi went 11.4 on old school tires at 125mph.

I don't race actually- I have a huge database of quarter mile times, I am just going to get a time at a test and tune, and then go home and compare all the numbers

[QUOTE]So can you explain to me Mr. Street racing teacher how come dealers dont have NOS equipt cars out of the LOT[QUOTE]
Well why didn't my car come with a Frank 5 and water injectio?

oh yeah ,I don't thik my car came with 92 in the tank, is that cheating because I have better gas now?

Dude do you hear me crying.. It seems like that your the one thats crying.. Lets see if we race 5 times and you beat me 2 or 3 times and you run out of NOS. Then we lined up again and I opened A car of wooped ass on you. What you gonna say.. YOUR LUCKY I RUN OUT OF NOS. BUt hay Im not trying to start shiet. I was just asking the smart guy how come they dont have NOS equipt car out of the lot. Do you have any explanation? HOw comne they have Sc or TURBO cars out the lot and they dont have NOS??? AND NO I DONT THINK IM SUPERIOR THAN ANYONE ELSE, EVERYBODY HAVE DIFFERENT WANTS FOR THEIR CAR

And yet another Nitrous misconception! Unless you are using a HUGE shot, you can run all-night, get up the next morning and spray the whole way to the NOS re-fill spot. Only the massive shots used in the fogger applications would empty a bottle in a few runs. Nitrous is something that a non-mechanically inclined person would prolly be afraid of dealing with, changing bottles, re-building solenoids, blah, blah. Alot of people turn away from nitrous after reading shit like you post, and it plainly clear you don't know.

[QUOTE][b]Lets see if we race 5 times and you beat me 2 or 3 times and you run out of NOS.[b][QUOTE]

Actually, I only race once, if I lose, I lose. If I miss a shift, I might ask for another run. If they lose, and ask for a another race, like they missed a shift, I will oblige.
Before I blew my motor, I usually had one of the fastest imports that would show up, so I was lucky to find one run.

So my NOS tank lasts I think ten runs for a 15sec pass, so basically I have 150 sec of spray. Since I have a turbo, it doesn't spray the whole time- so say it spray for 12 sec out of my pass- hmm looks like 12 passes and a purge.

Hopefully after two runs we could get a good race. If it takes more than that usually the person is just a poor loser and wants to be able to brag that the other person didn't want to run him again

Actually, I'm just stocked that I learned how to use the quotes

I get about 15 1/4 mile passes out of a bottle. They dont put it in production cars for obvious reasons. One being lawsuits. If there is a leak in the system and NOS accumulates in your manifold, there goes the motor. And who is going to put a warranty on a car with NOS? Have you ever seen what happens when one of those bottles bursts? Those safety blow-off valves dont always work.

I still kinda want to know how the originator of this post knew that the guy sprayed. No offense to him, but it almost always cracks me up when they say how they knew, "white smoke from tailpipe," "side of car said NOS," "I could smell it," plenty of others.

wow, it took you this long to get that?

. I was just asking the smart guy how come they dont have NOS equipt car out of the lot. Do you have any explanation? HOw comne they have Sc or TURBO cars out the lot and they dont have NOS???

Now what I am saying is if you are going to compain about NOS, because it didn't come factory, why can't you complain about every other mod.

I have water injection so I can run 20+ pounds of boost on the street everyday, without my car cutting timing. My water resivior will run out, eventually. Is that cheating?

Not to mention, it is a racing item, like a roll cage. And when activated at the wrong time it could be dangerous to the motor(i.e.-anytime under 3000rpm)

bullshit...in 1971 Chevrolet made 454, 402, and 350 Chevelle SS. The only one that had displacement emblems on them was the 454. So if its a '71 without disp. emblems then you don't know if it is a big block or small block!

hey some guys run the jucie cause it is instant horses at the push of a button. and as for the black smoke or darker smoke, when i had my ranch, whenever i stepped on it, i let out 2 huge clouds of black smoke, it ws pretty funny cause you could tell when i got on the gas. that is seen mainly in older cars, due to worn down rings, old car stuff, cars that burn oil.
