You can compare the 2. Alky lets you tune like race gas and with N2O you will need to allways run race gas to really make any safe power from it. But with Race gas you will make the same power as Alky and the N2O will add power on top of that.

Gas, Alky and N2O do not work well together.

Alky. I just don't find it a good idea to run shots on the Evo.

Well this is not going to be a dd anymore but I know how thin the stock rods are. Was the 9 mph on a stock turbo?

The NOS is a lot more expesive to refill. I get meth for 5.25 a gallon over here. But if you run out of meth, without a fail safe, you'll most likely hurt the motor. But if your run out of NOS, oh well you might lose that race, but just refill it.

stick to alky

there exist very fast flow detection system now, and combined with the myraid of AFR, boost and low mass EGT sensors, you can run alky systems with peace of mind.

alky alky alky! Easy to run 100% of the time/every day and probably safer than NOS in the long run.
