I am not insulting him. He is asking me to explain something that I feel he would be better served finding out for himself. He obviously has an interest in the subject and wouldn't believe me if I told him. I gave him a place to start his research.

I am not asking him to back up his statements and I don't feel the need to explain mine to him.

You should, because I've asked for an explanation. Your "retort" was to tell me I don't know anything and to look it up. That's a mighty strong argument.

You're right, I am trying to learn, and you are the self-proclaimed expert. I understand how nitrous works. You are the one claiming you can't run a bigger shot. All I asked was, "Why not?" And you haven't explained your claim.

I don't need to "win" argument. And I never said that you don't know anything.

You alluded to it in quite a number of your posts. It is what it is. I didn't realize nitrous was so camshaft-dependent, because I have never owned a car where nitrous was the primary power-adder. It does make sense, especially with it being a grudge match.

However, my original statement was alluding more to the point of this: All things being equal (meaning each car is properly built to withstand 1,000 HP, i.e. the nitrous car has the appropriate cam and supporting mods, which in this case it doesn't) I don't see why a 1,000 HP nitrous car couldn't beat a 1,000 HP turbo car at the same race weight and the same approximate power curve.

If the cam isn't setup for the amount of nitrous your trying to force into the motor it will be a waiste of time and money. You want see any gain in et. Not to mention that if the converter isnt setup for it you will start blowing through the converter.
