Shep goes 8.1@177.6mph at ATCO - Page 3

Why? There is nothing wrong with running nitrous. You can run nitrous on just about anything, it's more streetable and simple than a turbo setup. Hell, he runs methanol, so nitrous is no where near "cheating" compared to running meth.

Meh. I would just rather have my car hit those times without having to press a little red button. But I do give him props. Putting anytihng in your car to get the best time you can is worth it. I would just rather not have to use it.

Too bad he doesn't have to hit a "litte red button". He runs his nitrous through the AEM so its all automatic. I am not sure of his exact setup, but I am sure he has it set to spray different amounts based on boost and RPM.

Oh yeah and there is nothing wrong with running nitrous. You could say a turbo is cheating over a N/A car too.

Power adders for the win! The more the merrier.

Tauni · 09-06-2005

Ok whether or not he pushes a fucking button makes no difference. I was just trying to get my point across. Anyone could have spray and as soon as the spray hits well there ya go, no work needed. But that would be boring. Did you miss the part about me giving him props. I was giving my opinion about what I would want with my own car. Your taking this the wrong way. Why would I talk shit when I drive the car I drive. Exactly. I wouldn't. Because I can't compete.

Nitrous is more risky to use than boost is, so I would say you just press the button and away you go. Nitrous is picky about bottle pressure and timing everything together correctly. The AEM is great for the timing part, but everything happens so fast with nitrous that is becomes difficult to tune it.

Basically I don't run nitrous because I am scurred.

Hey now.. Lets not make assumptions.

Enes · 09-06-2005

girl has some secrets....

Tauni · 09-06-2005

I never said anytihng about secrets either

Matt D. · 09-06-2005

But there's so much more than just slapping on nitrous. As if boost or nitrous isn't bad enough, adding them together can be like playing with matches in a munitions factory.

AJ · 09-06-2005

That's why you practice w/ da NAWZZZZzzz.

Tauni · 09-06-2005

I think its smart. Like he said, so much goes into it and you gotta be careful for something that you can't always control. I'd rather boost then have nitros.

I'd rather have a redhead over a blonde, but if the option is there to use them both at the same time you don't continue to pick one over the other! PLEASE try and understand it that way.

Tauni · 09-06-2005

Haha, watch the red-head comments, your talking to one!

Anyways, I guess I see your point, but I am a girl

I guess I just perfer not having nitros. Any way I explain myself will never satisfy you guys, so I will just leave it a lone. And I'm not saying I would never use nitros, I'm just saying that it would always be last resort. Not that Shep needs it anyways.

Pimpin Dsmstyle · 09-06-2005

Someone has never seen, used, or really understands the use of nitrous. Just like allen said, if the option / need for both is there, DO IT UP. You do what you have to do to hit that goal.

slowbubblecar · 09-06-2005

I plan on using nitrous with my car if I can get it running right. I am not even going to install it until I can get it runing good. Then we will see if I feel the need for it or not.

**Goat Blower** · 09-06-2005

Even Shep has blown intake manifolds apart from a nitrous explosion, just ask the timing shack guy at the shootout a couple years ago. Unless you're chasing Shep, I don't see the point, everybody and their grandma is running nines without N2O these days.

Most of the guys nowdays are running nitrous to get into the 9s. It is more common now than a few years ago. Look at the DSMTimes list. 2 out of the 3 2Gs in the 9s are running nitrous and 13 out of the 17 1Gs running 9s or faster are on the bottle.
