Default Should I Juice or Boost?

I cant decide weather to boost or juice? Im not as big fan of drag racing as i was befor.. I dont street race anymore<ok maybe once in a while, but only when u have that feeling to go fast.. I already have i/h/e and 4.57 final drive gear.. But the thing is i feel the need of a little bit more power and cant decide which way to go.. This S is my daily driver car and i also own a 93 nsx.. I was shifting more to just juicing because its cheaper and not as expensive but how bad would i hurt my engine??? How big of a shot? Need avryones opinion.. thanks guys!

I used to run a 100 shot on a gti vr6. It was great, but only for racing. If you did end up wasting all your spray just driving around, you would regret it when your bottle was empty the next time you wanted to race somebody.

My car after that was a turbo vr6 and the difference is huge. Having that power on tap all the time is worth it. Especially once the cost of bottle refills starts adding up with nitrous.

Say no to drugs and just force in natural oxygen

I bought juice. Im a college student on a budget so I bought a NOS kit new for about 500 dollars. I haven't installed it yet, but if you can beat evo's and sti's for 500 dollars, I'd say its worth it. I've talked to a couple other members running a 75 shot dry and a 80 shot wet. They both said that they beat evo's and sti's with no problems... unless they're like a higher stage turbo. Both people had 0 problems with running the juice. If you don't know what the difference between dry and wet, then search google, theres at least 500000 articles on the age old question of which is better. I chose dry because I don't have to mess with it pooling in my intake and blowing up.

Most people don't like nitrous just because they've seen the fast and the furious and they think it'll blow up. Only if you are an idiot with it, will it happen. Or they don't like it cause they actually have money, so they go FI.

boost, cause juice will **** ur motor up after a short time if used all the time. not saying boost wont, but if u set it up right it will last the life of the motor.

i am going with zet wet kit, idk how the "juice would pool in your intake" since most ppl will go direct port with a wet kit. Zex makes a very reliable system that is also safe. Running a 50 weet shot is just fine, you could go higher i would say up to 75 but then you should really adjust the timing.

I def prefer turbos, but for the cost N2O is not a bad idea..

lol do you know what your talking about? i think you should go read this articles again on google...

Wet shot is safer than a dry shot and direct port is the safest. If you really want to do nitrous i would go direct port.
