    its not a big deal at all. I just want honesty.

    The callout thread was specifically for NA cars, naturally, i want to race somoene around the same power and times as me. I saw ivan ran 13.2 on some youtube videos, and i knew he would be a good run for chunky and me.

    James came out with his turbo accord, but i didnt run him cause it would have been a waste of gas for him lol.

    and thats where it comes down to what you consider NA and FI.

    not trying to start ne drama.

    im all motor and would love to make it out to the next meet. but im like Ivan, i keep my setup on the down low so no hood pop from me either

    i know thats what i keep thinking when people complain about nitrious. I dont understand why people dont complain about turbos and s/c they are all a forum of FI, it just happeneds that nitrious is the cheapest route. But im done ranting about that those were good runs and i wouldnt mind showing up to the next one.

    LOL. Nothing is being forced? How can you say that when you're forcing nitrous oxide into the intake charge with over 1000psi? Nitrous is a power adder. Period. There is nothing natural about nitrous ending up as part of the combustion mix.

    That's why naturally aspirated classes, otherwise known as all-motor, don't allow nitrous. It's really simple.

    Now, is there anything wrong with using nitrous to go faster? No, not at all. It's only a problem if you lie about it. Because it's so easy to conceal a nitrous system in a car, people often lie about it. Especially at the street races where there always seems to be a clash of egos happening. It gets even worse when money is involved. No one likes being lied to.

    but understand what im saying. cams, pistons, headers, IM. they all add power also. so why is it that people do not worry about if you have a built motor as much at they do nitrous?

    not saying you are wrong.

    Nemo, where have you seen magic pistons and rods that can add 100hp? Motor internals are not classified as power adders and never will be. Power adders are considered "foreign" to NA cars in the sense they do not have to be there in order for the car to run. Understand? You are arguing a failing point my friend.

    its power adder, but all you are doing is just replacing the part with some newer parts. still NA

    'Nitrous oxide is stored as a compressed liquid; the evaporation and expansion of liquid nitrous oxide in the intake manifold causes a large drop in intake charge temperature, resulting in a denser charge, further allowing more air/fuel mixture to enter the cylinder. Nitrous oxide is sometimes injected into (or prior to) the intake manifold, whereas other systems directly inject right before the cylinder (direct port injection) to increase power.' now thats forcing, right?

    At the end of the day, power is power. I agree with you on that. All the bad press on nitrous comes from people lying about it. If people didn't lie about having spray so often, we wouldn't even be having this conversation.

    I have no problem with people running nitrous. However, if I post up looking for all motor runs, and someone with nitrous comes out claiming to be all motor and chumps me, I just think that's dishonest.

    However, if I post up looking for runs against a 13s car, it doesn't matter if they run 13s all motor, turbo, or with spray. Same goes for if I look for runs against a 300hp car. Doesn't matter how they make the power b/c power is power. But if I specifically say I want to run someone all motor, then leave the sneaky pete at home.

    I don't race for money, so that kinda stuff doesn't bother me much anyhow.

    Its really not if you told someone you had nitrous and they had nitrous it would be even.But when your trying to spray and not tell the other person who is allmotor.Then that when you get into the arguing and loud talking,pretty much people trying to get shot.

    Dont forget Jamrock beat you also that night black guy grey hatch with FLorida tag. those were the good old days that spot is still pretty good though but everyone continues to go to moreland for some reason

    Yea it wasnt nothing going on anyways.And on Sunday night is the best time to go there once SP leaves DMV at 12.Its good to go all night one night felt like we were at a drag strip.Bout 10cars in a line and kept running back to back felt really good doing that and not having to worry about cops.

    Yes indeed it is run what you brung but thats like a built cobra trying to run a single cam.Power adder is a power adder I mean its kinda unfair if someone tried to run me and I have a 170whp car and they have a gsr with a 75 shot.Its pointless and a waste of gas and tires/time.But if its a near even match I wouldnt mind it even though on the street its run what you brung.If someone is like he has nitrous ill still run but not going to be for cash.In that case might as well just give the person the my money and then race.
