weird nitrous question

if we get a 50 shot for our cars, that means about 50 extra hp on the crank. but how much extra torque will our cars get??

WOW!! double the torque, and moving peak down by 1500RPM

those are some pretty surprising numbers to me


to the NX kit...
though, im tempted to find out how well that engine is running today on its stock internals.. that has to be quite the workout for it

is his civic and ex auto? thats what mine is and from what i hear, nitrous is better when used in and auto since you dont have to lift the throttle to switch gears. i still kinda doubt that the torque doubles but i maybe wrong. and what i think he is using on his description is a wet shot if i am not mistaken.

nitrous makes more Hp then torque in 98% of its applications. Also only NOS nitrous and NX rate their jets in WHP. Gayass french made Zex does it @ BHP. dunno about venom, but its overpriced anyway, so who cares?

ex 5speed. autos are worse because of that. hince ur shooting nitrous into the motor when there is no load on the motor. autos are just plain slower.
