Wow that was some incredibly intense street racing! I was glued to my chair the whole time.

J/K where about are you from? I didnt see you or the escort at the MN HMT BBQ.

a 175 shot will add about half of that to the wheel, so about 85 hp. phiz dynoed a gsr on a 50 shot and it netted 24 whp over stock.

I heard that NOS, NX and ZEX all over rate their shots. Isn't it TNT/Nitrous Works that actually give more of a "realistic" horsepower number?

Other than that, that mustang doesn't seem like it was spraying, those ******* are QUITE a bit faster on the juice

If it's a 175 shot and he only traps 109 with it.................................Does he he have 4 of his spark plugs disconnected?
A stock 5.0 will run deep into the 12's with that much dope on it.

A 175 shot will add about 175 at the wheels. Drivetrain losses are not much related to the power output at all. Hence anybody who uses a percentage to describe drivetrain loss is an idiot

every engine reacts differently to forced induction or nitrous, one engine with the exact same nitrous shot will usually not make the same gain as another engine with the same shot

yes but if the engine power output is pumped up by 175hp that won't increase your drivetrain losses much at all.
