    exactly.....because unless that bottle is full and you actually hit the button.....nothing is going to happen.

      correct. nos is not considered as boosted. Its also not NA.
      nos is a power adder just like boost is.

        on that dissuasion forum I posted they are also talking about "forced-induction"
        I do see valid points in what everyone is saying. But step into my world of racing. NA is no power adders. Im not trying to argue with you
        Iv been to Thompson OH with the www.umtrnorth.com group.
        go check it out & ask around.

        Whats nice about nitrous is you dont have to use it unless you want/need to.
        If you make a pass without spraying, it was a NA pass.
        If you spray during your pass then everything changes.

          LOL....but then it is an NA car with NOS.......
          if it is turbo or charged or blown.....that is what it is....no getting around it

          I could generally care less what side you fall on....what I mainly have the problem with is that you have already called me and Chris and anyone else that feels the way we do ... IDIOTS.
          While also stating you see valid points on both sides and then calling a car that has NOS but does not use it NA....it is always NA.

            I don't feel like I was called an idiot, I think he only meant that in reference to someone who won't even recognize nitrous as a power adder

              your trying to argue something you dont understand.

              if you have NOS on your car, you would show info about your car like this.
              11.75 @ xx mph NA
              10.13 @ xx mph 200 shot
              So yes one car could run either pass at any time. Either "NA" or "power adder"

              I told you I did not come here to offend anyone. But at this time its pretty clear you cant be friends with everyone. Everyone has different opinions.
              If you feel that a car with NOS is considered NA, well I guess iv said what i have to say.
              After all, its just my option. What do I know..

                  2. this guy is an idiot and i should not listen to anything he says.

                  so anyone that agrees with the other side and not your side is an Idiot?

                  But to be honest.
                  If you tell me your car is NA and your spraying, Then YES 1 or 2 apply.


                  If been drag racing for 12 years now and thats how the cars are always classified

                  Then you are assuming something he did not write. Point blank asked him and his response is above....he did not clarify it the way you took it. If so then I would never of brought it up.

                    I do not state anywhere that I understand any of it but I did state the way I feel about it and you even produced a thread that argues about it as well. And then also state that it is argued all the time.
                    But no matter what my feeling on it is I am not calling anybody anything. You said that anyone that feels this way is an IDIOT. You did not clarify it any more then that....so as far as I am concerned you called ME and others IDOTS.

                      I think I may have a peacefull solution. I do not beleive that spraying is n/a either doesnt n/a stand for naturLy asperated? As far as I know nitrua oxide isnt naturally in the air that is suked into the intake of a car. Anyway thats just my opinion now back to the peacefull solution I was speaking of. Why dont we just have those who spray post both their sprayed and non sprayed times in the "all motor" section
                      -90 festiva - bp swap "relentless" (thanks matt) aspire swap, pacesetter, underdrive pulley
                      -90 festiva - surf blue (undetermined destiny) wanna keep but wifey says noooooooo

                        You can post them anywhere you like. In the same section or in separate sections. The info will speak for itself & im sure everyone will know the difference no matter what side your on.

                          Well for the sake of ending the debate, the list has been updated to include nitrous cars under the boosted list..... that way the ones who go through the work to build an all motor festiva won't be competing with the nitrous cars
