aint been on here since. Cars come with intercooler spray as standard, and intercooler spray wont give you 10bhp let alone 150bhp

The only time we ran without gas was when we forgot to turn the bottle on and we ran 14.1 but that was a while ago i am sure it will do 13's though will try some time and let you know.I understand your point and other's but the word cheating get's up my nose i am using a porformance aid it does the same as a turbo and intercooler just better. I have not yet heard a decent comment against it yet but here are some other thought's
does a true road car need full trim
does a proper corsa have to use an engine that is factory fitted
when you buy a car new you get a stats on 0 to 60 but what you get is some one spending a week doing 0 to 60 sprints if it does it in 5 sec's once and 8 sec's the rest of the time then the stats can show 5sec's plus they use perfect conditions ie road surface weather etc.
Is santa pod a true indication of your performance as we have never managed the same times on the road.
So what exactly are we after
A NUMBER what you do to get get it is irreeivent in my opinion.

mate, i couldnt care less if you ran a jet engine, you still broke 12 seconds so thats quality in my eyes. and yes, i agree, you are substituting in a way what i have, a turbo on (basic principles) an xe block for noz. no problems here, as i will be running it aswell later on.
tom, well thats where gear controlable boost comes into play. limit the boost 1st, 2nd, and get it all about 5000rpm upwards in 3rd, aswell as an lsd. should help it a lot. them apexi products are good at what they do

Nitrous is a gas which is flamable so mixed with petrol produces energy to increase the torque of the engine
Water injection cools the inlet charge for safety. it does not increase power and it also increases compression
intercooler spray - cold water put of the intercooler vans means it will create a cooler charge. like what happens when you step out of the shower

Cheer's don't get me wrong here mate but your opinion is valid and noted but it's just the harshness of the word cheating but it's nice to get a good word from you
