Why is everyone here against the idea of nitrous? Everyone wants to do $3-4K engine swaps when all you need is a $600 nitrous kit. I am not trying to start an argument but a legit discussion with facts.

I will start it out. I personally would choose a nitrous kit over a turbo swap and here is why. I put a $600 nitrous kit on my other car and it went from 256WHP and 301WTQ to 335 WHP and 448WTQ with a 75 shot and a bottle that had the pressure about 200 psi to little. It cost me $40 to fill my bottle and it has lasted me about 20 passes with much more life in the bottle. That is a 60WHP (would be higher with more pressure) increase and a 148WTQ increase for $640. Here is my graph for the inevitable haters.

i guess if and big IF i had a second vehicle i would consider nitrous, but its too risky to me and overall i am against nitrous because of how much damage u can do to your drivetrain and motor. i was actually leaning more towards propane injection kits. the gains are not as great as nitrous, but nor is the wear and tear.
Nitrous is great for short bursts of speed but most people are looking for full-time power, and not just in bursts.
Sorry I can't see spending $600.00 on a kit for my car and still know i will get spanked by other cars Maybe if i had the cash to have the Aveo to blow up and still had a daily driver but i got my Aveo for the MPG not the MPH
I see what you mean there but even with full time power, you dont always use it. I merge onto the freeway at part throttle. I pass other cars at part throttle. The only times I really floor it is when racing, dynoing, or just showing off.Quote:
