Every time there is a thread about nitro, a bunch of members get offended or mad, where does the hate come from? Whenever you see the word nitro here, we are referring to nitrous oxide, nitro for cars because this is a car forum not a chemistry lab. Is it hated because of pollution reasons, or because it is cheap? Im not trying to pick on anyone, I just like to know if someone knows or have any comments. | | | 07-17-2006, 02:03 AM | #2 | Senior Member Join Date: Oct 2005 Location: Puerto Rico Posts: 885 | In my case i blown 2 motors with nitrous and 0 with forced induction, is less expensive the forced ionduction and more durable than the nos __________________ BMW...MY NEW TOY Mods: Some plastic parts, ///M Wheels and me | | | 07-17-2006, 02:34 AM | #3 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | Nitro = nitro-methane fuel. Nitrous = nitrous oxide. Generally, nitrous is extremely stressful on motors, because of its quick and temporary boost. It's also really only good for drag racing which doesn't really make the best of the ti's abilities. That's why it's somewhat frowned upon here. By all means, do what you want with your car. It's your money after all. But I think most of us would agree that it's not a good decision. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 07-17-2006, 02:36 AM | #4 | doesn't care about you.

Nitrous isnt really helpful with those kind of races. If this were a camero forum this would be a completely different disscution, Im all for nitrous in those cars. __________________ "Drive Fast and Take Chances" | | | 07-17-2006, 03:32 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | Why does everyone misspell Camaro?
