Thick Headed Buick Bafoon here....

I love this play on words that "power adder" is only a turbo, supercharger or N02. I don't have an automotive slang dictionary but common sense says a "power adder" adds power....no? (I know, tough concept). Simple logic dictates that "power adder" would mean a better cam, heads, exhaust, carb etc. which all add power.

Some here would label me as anti-Mustang or anti-Ford which simply isn't the case. I've never owned a Ford and come from a GM family, not my choice. My turbo Buick cars have beaten Fords (mostly Mustangs), and I've been beaten by some. Ford wouldn't be GM's fiercest competetor if they weren't doing something right. One of my best friends has a kick *** 1970 Mach I. Of course it has a GM color on it! He's highly impressed with the performace of the Buick Turbo V-6, and I'm impressed with his 351C.

Back on topic...
I've been into cars for almost 19 years now. To each his own, but NOS isn't for me. Last I knew they didn't use it in NHRA which is the emitome of 1/4 mile racing. Give me true-blue high output engines. Supercharged, turbocharged or naturally aspirated, but hold the laughing gas. That's just me.

I started this thread to share everyone's thoughts on the use of NOS. It wasn't intended, nor warranted to use it for personal attacks, insults and arguments. Arguing and insults serve no purpose. Expressing one's views in a calm, logical but spirited sense serves everyone.

There was a comment about whatever's legal is ok to run. I'm not sure in what context that comment was directed but in this state it's illegal to have a charged Nitrous bottle in the car on public roads. A license is required to transport compressed gasses (don't blame me, it's not my law).

As O'Reilly says "This is the no spin zone".

"Bottles are for babies, real men get blown!"

By the way, what's "put up or shut up" all about?
