Nos means i drive home with a normal engine ie hadly tinned so making it more reliable.
We do 13 sec 1/4 at the moment and the bottle will give us 4 runs with 150 bhp jets not 12 seconds
paper figures mean nothing to me it`s about how it perfoms
pound per bhp nos is cheap
and to finish off we have no air filter at all

I dont run nitrous and slicks, but fairplay to Gaz, the 1/4 mile is about getting to the other end as fast as possible!

Gaz, do you run slicks on the 1/4? Your nitrous, is it an on/off button or is it on some sort of progressive controller?
Whats your engine spec? internals etc?
skinz, shurrup about 'cheating gas' !
Is my boost cheating too, as I only run it on 300bhp a fraction of the time, most of the time i have it set to standard power.

Corb, thats only because running silly boost and giving it some you get about 10mpg

The tyres we run are road legal yoko`s can`t remember the type and the gas is on a controller but not much joy so far with it as the clutch gave in USC should tell if it helps

Try putting 150 bhp of nos on your then come back and tell me how easy it is, some could argue that putting a c20let
in is easy using a pre mapped ecu done by some one else all work on this car was done by us including the mapping and engine work not so easy then.

You can't change a natural cylinder characteristic by fitting a bigger engine, still works the same, Nos! different matter altogether, sure it's a lovely vehicle bud, I'm not saying it isn't.

If I was to add 150bhp of giggle gas, I'd end up doing 9secs.
