because you gotta tune everything so precise. plus most people wouldn't want to risk running on stock internals. plus you gotta keep refilling bottles, plus the power is only for a few seconds.

all that time and money an installation. Could easily go toward a very stable stage 1 turbo kit, which would be constant power, you wouldn't need to "refill it" and there is much less chance of destroying your engine because it is set at reasonable levels.

N2O just isn't worth the effort on a car like ours

I realize that, but I got my point across right? excuse me for not wanting to type out dinitrogen monoxide
I'll stick to N20 from now on to be "politically correct"

It's not being politically correct, it's being correct. It'd like me saying air when I actually mean oxygen, they are two different things.

No, its like saying Kleenex instead of Facial Tissue. If someone sneezes, and I offer them them a Kleenex, they're gonna know what I mean. They're not gonna respond, "What the hellz a Kleenex? I will take a tissue though."

It's just being correct, NOS is a wrong term IMO as it we are not talking about NOS, we are talking about nitrous. Your kleenex example doesn't quite work as 9/10 times they are indeed talking about a Kleenex brand tissue.

Right
If I talk about ketchup and my ketchup is not the ketchup brand, should I talk about it as being tomato sauce?

Telling people to say N2O or whatever the f is now the politicaly correct way of calling them ricers.

I'll stick to Nos my-self and I'm sure people will get what the f I'm talking about when I do talk about it.

Oh they will, I'm just being specific (there's a reason why biologists don't get laid that often).

I could've phrased it better, yes, but this is an online forum, where posts are made quickly and grammar isn't that important. I try to type my posts best I can, but I'm not going to reread my posts for correctness. NOS came to my head before N2O did, so I typed it. I believe you knew what I was talking about, so there's really no reason to make an extra post trying to correct me. Now you're a moderator, so I'd imagine you'll delete all these useless posts as they're particularly off topic.

i saw an 04 lancer with a big NOS sticker on the side of it at the mall today. It also had "mitsubishi" decals all over it too.

It made me lol, cos on my way out the mall, he jumped in his car and tried to race me.

If he did infact have NOS he must have been to scared to use it. I should have told him to go get a good tune and he would be fine.

Did you ask him if it was indeed a Nos kit? Who knows... maybe it was a Nx kit It would then make a world of a difference.

what car you get? and i personally think turbo would be better then n20 *so i wont get yelled at for correctness ). I would rather have constant power then only when the bottle has n20 left.
