it inconsistent unpredictable and horse power that you have to pay for over and over again.

Plus it causes danger to manifold and floorboards start to exploding out of your car!

If you don't get that joke i don't care.

most people that are draggin their cars at the track have it electronically setup and they use jets for the amount of n2o you want its not just random. so there goes your inconsistent, unless you wanna argue that a turbo spools up exactly the same everytime.

as for paying for horsepower.. do you let your car run out of gas ? no you are paying for horsepower as well.. people buy expensive gas, normal gas, nitrous, plugs, wires, electronics... hmmm over and over... kinda cut short again eh ?

nitrous is a non-flammable gas.

Real men get blown? This is homemadeturbo, but i have a ls1, not a small honda engine. I cant use stock parts to turbo the car. My car is a v 8, which means two turbos two everything, i doubt many people here could custom turbocharge a ls1. Although a monkey with a wrench could turbo a honda. True story.

Bottom line here, everyone wants the cheapest power with the most output, and nitrous is the way to go for my specific car/engine. 500 dollar nitrous kit for 550hp, or 5000 dollar turbo kit for 600 hp? cmon now.

but a 500dlr nitrous kit can only go so far. to be continuesly fast, you need to continuesly pay for gas/nitrous refills.

in a way, a turbo kit is like an investment for power in the long run. ehh so you popped your motor, toss another one in and reuse the turbo kit.

melt a motor from nitrous. get a new one, refill the bottle again. and go be fast again.

nitrous causes more heat in the engine and could cause more damage.

turbo generates forced power which could cause damage.

it cost's to be fast. regardless which way you go.

but when your bottle is empty from a 3 day track event. ill keep adding gas and going. while you sit track side waiting til the next track day cuz you ran out of nitrous
