Yep---IMO. Everyone around my area uses nitrous, and just about everyone that uses it melts their pistons, but their putting down some serious numbers when they do it. A local guy has a 96 cobra engine in a fox body,it had a vortech s/c, andnitrous, and he blew it up on the dyno, he was putting out more than 680hp and 730 tq, tothe wheels, andthats alot of hp and tq on a stock block with stock internals. Another local guy blew up two of his mustangs with a 200 shot, and his other mustang is starting to run like crap. That is just a fraction of the people using nitrous in my area that blows up their engines. I'm not saying nothing bad about nitrous. Some people say s/c and t/c are doing the same thing to your engine as what nitrous does, but it dont. You see Ford lightnings, 03-04 cobra's, new GT500, srt-4 neons, cobolt ss, Subaru sti, they all come with s/c and t/c from the factory with a warranty, But have you ever seen a car come from the factory with nitrous? NO. But nitrous, s/c, and t/c are all safe as long as you use them right and dont mistreat it, unlike the people in my area do( put a 200 shot on a stock engine that comes stock with 200hp). But if your thinking about using nitrous, go for it, just use it and be respectful, and you will be ok.---IMO

actually, in japan... i have heard of there is some car that has everything hooked up for nitrous, exceptit is missing the bottle.. that is what i have heard though, never actually seen the car yet.. but that would be cool as hell. heh
