I think you've got some sort of macro keyed up to automatically post that in the "What car should I buy threads?"

NO2 is called life on the bottle for a reason. The fun ends when the bottle is dry.

I would prefer to be blown, turbo or supercharger, please ;)
With a dedicated after-cooler like a Lotus has, if it's turbo-ed.


N2O is correct as stated below.:eek:

After cooler? :confused:

You gotta do something with the excess heat generated for the next go around.

I wouldn't want the problems associated with pre-ignition, would you ;)

Does aftercooler = intercooler? If so, I've *never* heard of an intercooler being called that until today *shrug*

Course I do. 150 shot, w/ stock internals. I kill M3s and Cobraz all day long.

This is in the Sentra BTW. It's all about power to weight. I removed the roof, all seats (I kneel when I drive), and lightened the chassis by about 200 lbs, while removing all door panels and replacing with glazed balsa wood, to maintain aerodynamics.

I guess I find the idea that Ford made a performance Escort funny, and I own one to boot.
