RE: Hrm ..
I have no problem with new members. Infact I'd like to see more new members here.
You shouldn't give advice that you do not know first hand, or advice that you haven't researched and know the cold-hard-facts about.
This is how allllllll the crap about Nitrous starts and for the group of members here who REALLY have knowledgable experience with cars and heavily modifying them, it is the most annoying thing to see false information or information a member is passing on as if they truly know about it when they really don't have a clue.

RE: Hrm ..
well if im an idiot then i guess people at this site are as well?
here is a qoute and if you want the whole page click below"Nitrous oxide has this effect because it has a higher percentage of oxygen content than does the air in the atmosphere. Nitrous has 36% oxygen by weight and the atmosphere has 23%. Additionally, nitrous oxide is 50% more dense than air at the same pressure. Thus, a cubic foot of nitrous oxide contains 2.3 times as much oxygen as a cubic foot of air. Just do a bit of math in your head and you can see if we substitute some nitrous oxide for some of the air going into an engine than add the appropriate amount of additional fuel, the engine is going to put out more power."
click me
why my numbers may not have been perfect how was i so wrong that i was to be called an idiot?

Just a question, what's the stock CR on a 4.6 liter GT? I'd say if it were around 10.0:1, I'd lower it. If NOS is like turbo boost, being able to run that CR on pump gas wouldn't be too good with stock internals.

NO2 is a form of "liquid supercharging" it does infact "pack" more air into the cylinder because it is an "oxidizer" and with that being said if it "packs" more air in to the cylinder, isnt that the same effect as a supercharger and/or turbo. please correct me if am wrong in theory.
