Nitrous = "REAL" hp or not?

96Snaker · October 15th, 2006, 01:49 PM

I dunno, whattyou guys think? I'm not a huge fan of the stuff but I know it's one good way to get cheap hp... it just doesn't seem like it's "real" hp to me

stangliter04 · October 15th, 2006, 01:51 PM

I am a fan. I have a supercharger, but the tq numbers with nitrous are unreal

Drgnracin72 · October 15th, 2006, 01:58 PM

how is it not real horsepower. anything that throws me back a helluva lot harder than hormal is horsepower to me. its not all the time horsepower, but it is a shit ton of hp when you want it

AtlanticBlue99 · October 15th, 2006, 02:08 PM

exactly. nitrous is legit hp, but i am not a strong fan on street applications simply because it isnt there all the time no matter what without refills. for the track, on proper setups, nitrous alone or coupled with other poweradders is the best way to get more power.

96Snaker · October 15th, 2006, 02:28 PM

AB - I agree. On the track there's nothin better, I'm sure I could seriously improve on my 13.8 w/no2. Guess I'm just tired of seeing guys w/their camry's running on juice alone saying their car's the $hit 'cause they know how to push a button.

Why would nitrous not be real horsepower? I guess heads, compression and cams don't make "real" horsepower either.

Drgnracin72 · October 15th, 2006, 03:10 PM

lol

GTsetGO · October 15th, 2006, 03:39 PM

hmmm, just guess the #'s in my sig should be

real HP ### real TQ ###

fake HP ### fake TQ ###

96Snaker · October 15th, 2006, 04:03 PM

lol I thought I'd be in the minority having said it's not real hp, I know it is but that's ok because it's all fun, oh yeah and 'cause with it in my sleeper probe gt I can hang with some stangs out there.

GTsetGO · October 15th, 2006, 04:07 PM

to each their own, but I know some guys out there that have a supercharger on their car and are making the same HP but 40 less ft/lbs of torque.

raceruler03 · October 15th, 2006, 04:09 PM

just add the nirtous to the supercharger and see what the numbers read

I dont know where the myth that nitrous is cheap comes from...

I spend about $200 per trip to the track, on nitrous alone. Do that twice a week and it adds up fast.

You'll never catch me out on the street without a bottle hooked up and within arms reach.

well then over time, a full-time poweradder is not only street legal, but cheaper due to no need to refill all the time

96Snaker · October 15th, 2006, 06:06 PM

"cheap hp" just refers to bang for buck... for that much hp gain, it's inexpensive when comparing to turbo/s/charging. yeah, hp definitely doesn't come cheap, lol

Nothing wrong with a turbo or supercharger. I just prefer the bottle.

Also...Who said nitrous isnt street legal???

and similar laws are in effect in several other states

Also, in my state of GA: Georgia Legal Code 40-8-10, USE OF NITROUS OXIDE IN PASSENGER CAR

Code:

40-8-10.
(a) It shall be unlawful for any person on a public road to drive a passenger car, excluding a motor home, which supplies the motor vehicle´s combustion engine with nitrous oxide unless the system supplying nitrous oxide is made inoperative by disconnecting the line feeding nitrous oxide to the engine or by removing the container or containers of nitrous oxide from the vehicle.
(b) Any person who violates subsection (a) of this Code section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.

itschristorres8 · October 15th, 2006, 08:30 PM

nitrous is seriously $200 everytime at the track?!
thats rediculous...

but lookin at GTsetGO gains on it seems almost worth it
i had no idea it'd give that much hp

im gonna go buy a 500 shot

just kidding

Thats just retarded. How is having a nitrous bottle hooked up any different than having a 500 rwhp turbo or supercharged car?
