You CLEARLY don't have a clue, so let me just say that NITROUS(not NOS!!!!!!! You've been watching too much F&F!!!) is the BEST bang-for-your-buck mod POSSIBLE.
I don't have the money to WASTE on a turbocharger or supercharger that I'll use VERY sparingly, HOWEVER I'd like to have power ON DEMAND. SC/TC's wear on the engine everytime you hit boost and are a parasitic loss when you don't. Nitrous on the other hand only wears on the engine when you use it and isn't a parasitic loss as much as a TC/SC is, however that is somewhat debatable.
Anyways, nitrous is just ANOTHER form of FI, just like a TC vs. SC and the many different varities.
So, WHY WOULD YOU KNOCK NITROUS? Is it because it's the best-bang-for-your-buck mod? Is it because it's a viable option for those on a budget? Is it because it's the ONLY FI bolt-on option for cars like the 2K+ Maximas have? Is it because it produces power without the side-effects of a SC/TC? Is it because it WORKS better for MOST people then a SC/TC since it's not "on" all the time?
Or is it just because nitrous is the BEST option?

I understand his point... I disagree, but I understand. I bet (if he was quick-witted enough) he'd compare it to steroids. Two guys race but one's on steroids so he wins. When he stops the 'roids he loses, so it's not "really" him who's winning, it's the drugs.
Flash forward to this thread... NAWWWS is the steroid, making a car "seem" faster than it is. Of course his argument is flawed because isn't that what induction does, too?
jttaylor155, answer this... is a sc/tc 'cheating'? A max isn't 'supposed' to have a sc/tc so if someone adds it then he must be cheating, right? If you say "no, a sc/tc isn't cheating" then you're going against your own argument.

so, what about people who use both juice and boost? i.e. mardigras, hal, Y2KevSE, jhans114.....are they...cheaters too? or half-cheaters because they have turbo/SC.
just a friendly reminder.....have you noticed that your friend, NT2SHBBY, is not posting anymore? ever wonder why he's not (able to) posting anymore? hmmmmm....

Nawzz is cool, nitrous is ok too. NX is the best.
Guess I will have to take my bottle out now that I know its cheating. I wonder why they didn't tell me that at the track when I had my tech inspection?
About the original question, I use 115 Octane unleaded for racing, not to get better performance but to reduce the chance of detonation. Its probably a waste of money if you are not running some form of boost (like my liquid supercharger) because it will not likely enhance your performance even slightly.

I did not support the fact that you got banned. I even asked a moderator why but got the big "No" answer that we usually get when we ask questions. I do respect the fact that you had the ***** to speak your mind even though I disagreed with you. One of the good things I speak of about this board is that we seem to have more freedom of speech as opposed to other boards that are populated by forum ***** who're only concerned with lining their own pockets with cash from sponsors. I hope we can keep the right to speak our minds on this board even if our opinions are in the minority at times.

Find his history of comments and attitude and you'll know he had it coming LOOOOOOOOONG before this thread. I just forgot about him, since NT2CRAPPY hasn't been around.
"Expression" of his opinion just reminded me who he was and the negative contribution he makes to this forum.
We don't need that here and I'm cleaning house from now on. You either contribute POSITIVE or keep your mouth shut. Either is fine, however if you're negative you're GOOOOOOONE!
P.S: Sorry about the "No"...I didn't have time to respond better.

Since we're all whoring....
So this bear walks into a bar and sits down on a bar stool.
Bartender says, "Hey, man....what are ya havin'?"
Bear says, "Hmmm.....I'll have a gin and.......................tonic, please."
Bartender looks at the bear kind of funny and says, "Um, ok, but what's up with the big pause?"
Bear holds his paws up and says, "I'm a bear."
OK, it's funnier when I tell it in person and after a few bears, I mean beers. Just trying to stay with the mandated positive motif.
Or should I say, PAWSotive.
I think I should be going now...

Ok, I just want something clarified here.
If we express opinions, like on hoods, body kits, etc., etc., etc., that are VALID opinions of those products and appearances...THEN are accused of any one of a variety of issues, DO we have a right to defend our opinions or not??? If something looks like crap, we should have the ability to say so...without being construed as 'negative'.
Again, no flaming...I just want to know how this will now work.

Maybe banning him without a warning was severe but it was just getting old. Besides, everyone is entitled to my opinion. Don't you people know that by now???

I simply want to know when or if this forum is going to responses that affirm original poster's thoughs/opinions/tastes or if this place is to remain a place of exchanging ideas and perspectives AND bringing attetion to those of the features that exist (search, FAQ's, etc.) which were not exactly subtly introduced to me a couple years ago.
I am not starting a war here...as usual, i am being backed into one.

WOW this has got to be one of the funniest threads i have ever read. jttaylor deff got owned at least about 20 times
how is nitrous cheating? you cant cheat at making your car faster....there are no rules
nitrous is a legitimate mod for your car, maybe you should get it so you can actually make your car a sleeper like you said in your homepage jttaylor

Sorry, everybody. I thought I'd return to the topic for just a minute.
My understanding is that increasing the octane rating past the point at which detonation occurs is a waste of money. I use 1 gallon of 100 octane unleaded gasoline per 1/2 tankful of 91 octane which raises my overall octane rating to 92. I do that to eliminate a slight detonation problem I experience at low rpms with my timing advanced to 17 degrees BTDC.
There, now you can go back to discussing NOS or tires or whatever floats your boats.
