Default My nitrous opinion

Okay , after 3 years on a zex 75 shot wet I regret going the way of N20 !!! Listen at first it's awesome . Lots of new whp , new bragging rights , and at first it's cheap . Plus I haven't blow anything on my Ls so my car at least is solid with this setup . To tell you the truth though , I wouldn't do it again . Every time I go through a bottle it's 50 bucks for a fill and 25 for new spark plugs ! Not to mention it's illegal to drive around with . Anyway for three years every couple of months I refill the bottle and replace the plugs .( I do a lot of street racing ) So far the math puts me at 2700 dollars to date .Not including the zex system that was around 400 bucks . I'm really pist at myself now ! That's my turbo or supercharger setup rite there . Not to mention it's legal so I'm not sweating when a cop is behind me and the power is always on demand . None of that , wait I gotta go get my bottle . So to those thinking it's cheaper to do nitrous take my experience into consideration . Ps sorry if I started this thread in the wrong category .

That's why baby gas is the last thing on the list. Build your engine. If that's not enough then add forced induction. Then if you need more, add a baby gas system.

It's kinda hard not to race when you live in a state that hundreds and hundreds of racers gather every weekend and no track in my state . I live in Ct so racers come from New York and Mass to duke it out . If you lived here you'd get challenged on your way to get a gallon of milk .

This is very true . However adrenaline is very addictive . Either way at this point I'm mostly a spectator . The cars running now have evolved way beyond my ability to hang with . Plus I put this up for those thinking of going the way of n20 . Just a little more info for them to take into consideration when making a decision of what power adder to go with . As far as the racing , that's just me . I would go to a track if Ct had one but they don't get caught pay a fine that's it for now . I'm sure they will start impounding sooner or later .

Impound for street racing Jeff, Not for nitrous.
