    Halfway through the race, I engaged my nitrous system and passed everyone except Dominic. Near the end of the race I engaged the nitrous again, causing the floorboard to fall out but I managed to pass Dominic. Seeing my Eclipse surpass him, Dominic engaged his own hidden nitrous system on his Mazda RX-7 and soundly beat me as the race neared the finish line. The race finished and Dominic won, mocking me in front of everyone for my amateur racing style.

    NOS definitely became popular in some racing games like some of the Need for Speed series, midnight club series, and some other racing game genres. Many people crave the rush, adrenaline, and the thrill of going fast that is way beyond their cars limits. I would like to say I am a fan of some racing games going fast but in real life I'd be kind of scared to go extremely with the possible chance of crashing. But on a serious note, drive safe everyone, don't be another statistic please and thank you.

    My old Big block Corvette was rebuilt years ago NOS ready by a Professional who does it for a living and is street king here in Colorado. After he rebuilt my 454 and made it NOS ready, I drove the car and have enjoyed it so much and it has so much power , I have never had the need to install the NOS. Tom informed me that a 50-75 shot would not faze the motor and that I should be aware that although it may seem like only a small HP increase, he warned me that the Torque would go way up because it is a big block. WAY UP!! I am over 500 ft lbs at the rear wheels at 9000 feet as it is. A 50 shot would put it over 600 ft lbs! Tom explained we could install a switch as to where the NOS would only come on in 3 and 4th gears. Not 1st or 2nd . Why would I want to do this? Well.. He did make it NOS ready. That means this big block can take a 50 shot easy with no harm at all. Well... It may tear a motor mount sooner than later. But the reason is that some of these new cars are making a lot of power. 10 years ago, I would eat just about everything alive including Crotch Rockets! But now? Wow! Some of these new cars and bikes are really powerful! I need to install the NOS now!!! Not sure I will survive it.. But I feel the need for speed!! Help!!!!

    yes Scotty if you're putting NOS in a stock engine of course there is gonna be damage done, but there's no fault if your engine is souped up as well. as far as the tank being small, its only meant to be used for a couple seconds at a time, not minutes replacing your fuel during a race. even most drag races are a couple seconds long

Hit the gas and the carb completely stalled. The truck lunged forward about 100ft, and stopped. It turned pistons sideways in the block. It was fun.

    2- Make the video and explain why using literally anything that's not original stock equipment is "bad".
    3- Do the editing
    4- Publish on RUclips
    5- Profit
    No seriously, many of your videos have very useful, instructive content, but these days all I seem to see is "why is this bad for your car" and "why is that bad for your car" and "why you shouldnt do this" and "why you shouldnt do that", it seems that these days, doing anything unusual or non-stock is automatically a terrible mistake that will ruin your engine...

    I was at the drag strip and it was 1985. A guy was running nitrous on his brand new Iroc Z. He apparently hit the nitrous on launch. The car stalled out. Then the driver attempted to restart the engine and after a series of loud explosions there was pieces of intake and coolant leaking onto the track. They should have pushed it off the track and removed all the sparkplugs and let it air out. I'm sure he learned an expensive lesson the hard way. But it does work great when properly used.

    Well, back in the late 70s and 80s i started playing with nitrous in Sand Rails. What i discovered quickly was greed will blow up engines. Its so easy to put an extra 50 or 100 hp in your car when on the bottle. Simply add more fuel nitrous mix. That easy. Problem is your engine could handle an extra bit of HP, say 75 Hp. Then you decide to add 125HP. Oops! Parts on the ground. The added HP located the weak spot. Other then the greed problem it was cheap Horse Power.

    The fastest car I've ever been in was a built '454' Nova with a 300 shot of nitrous. (He didn't even hit the 500 shot) I'm not lying, and I have a video somewhere. From 30mph -140mph (after he hooked) it took less than most modern cars do to get to 60mph. The 600hp corvettes and coyotes I've been in seemed like they were sitting still compared to this Nova... This was my dads good friend, who was a Chevy boy. He built cars like that all year long. He sold that Nova for $19,000 and it's still running strong today. (It's a street car!) Of course I'm not gonna tell tommy from down the street to throw some Nos on his Civic that has a Short Ram intake and Skunk2 exhaust.. When you have a built V8 monster, I might just say go ahead and see what that thing can do! (A stock block can take 50 shots and 75 shots for a while. I HAVE seen brand new Silverados eat the dust before though, because someone thought that NOS was a good idea on a motor with less than 500 miles on it 😒) So basically, if it's built then go ahead! If it's your daily car, and primary source of transportation maybe you should wait or buy a car to build with the intention of throwing Nos on it. Remember, DO NOT install nitrous on a motor you can't completely rebuild yourself. That's a good general rule of thumb. 👌

    Nitrous Oxide is far from a cheat. It takes a great deal of work and tuning (as you noted) to make it work properly. The better systems I've seen are NOS-aided intercooler systems which increase MAD and give an even bigger performance over just increasing boost pressure in supercharged or turbo charged systems. You are exactly right that NOS systems are terrible for anything but special racing applications.

    Another reason they're illegal, at least where I live, is first responders arriving at an accident scene don't like finding large canisters of compressed gas. They don't know if it has been damaged in the crash; even if the contents aren't flammable itself it can still be an explosive hazard. Perhaps the valve at the neck has a small crack or something. It can complicate a rescue.
