Is this a trick question or are you just screwing around with us? Nitrous is just about the only mod that tells you what HP you'll get.

Actually yeah I was told buy alot of people that the shot size isn't the true wheel hp number. I actually think NOS told me this awhile back when I was having trouble jetting the car. If I remember right its 75% of the shot number that you will recieve in wheel horse power. Ill call them tomorrow

TNT and NX give rwhp, as do some other companies. NOS and ZEX are at the fly.

I was going to add that in all fairness, some companies do rate it at the crank and others rate it at the wheels. It would technically depend on company. But I still think the original answer is funnier.

it's just like any added power....depends on your tranny really

autos lose more than stick cars

and i disagree......although you lose hp through parasitic drag, nitrous also has the benefit of being extremely cold and dense

3 diff cars....3 diff kits here was my ET cut

75 jets NOS 5115 = - .8 seconds
100 jets ZEX dry = -1.5 seconds
80 jets NOS 5115 = -1 second

by the rule of thumb (every 100 hp = 1 sec cut) my 100 jets reacted like 150 jets and so on, my 75 jets were actually smaller....i had +1 fuel and -1 nitrous so it was phat, possibly like a 65 shot
