Truf! I beat Zac like that... lol he launched and the car shut off. rofl.. i can also say ive been beaten much slower cars too from spining and letting off...

I'm going to throw this out, because I don't have a complete understanding of the way you guys think.

Who cares if it's a turbo car? I mean, I understand the basic reasoning, especially now that it's getting cooler out, the boosted cars are going to run well; however, isn't power just power? It doesn't matter how you're making it, as long as you are.

If you don't want to lose to a turbo car, why not just throw in a bigger nozzle, re-tune, or whatever? Power is power, faster is faster, etc. Know what I mean?

You make too much sense, you don't belong here

A bigger nozzle? Retune? A turbo car can make more power per cubic inch than a nitrous car. The tune and nozzle (whatever that is) aren't going to make a difference. So in the absence of a rule book to make things equal, it is easier to run just nitrous cars. The turbo cars can have their own race.

You're not answering the simplest question though.

What's the difference between a 1,000 WHP nitrous car and a 1,000 WPH turbo car, other than the power adder and obvious power curve traits respective to both applications?

What I'm trying to say is this. If you're losing to a turbo car, shoot a bigger nitrous shot. If you're losing to a nitrous car, crank up the boost.

It's just my opinion, but I think cars should race cars, and people should have fun regardless. If you're not fast enough, do what it takes to go faster depending on your application. "I'm not racing him because it's a turbo car" sounds silly in my opinion.

Now, I understand people are using Zac as a benchmark, and this IS grudge racing; however, I don't think that should be used an excuse to not make their cars faster to keep up.

You can't just put a bigger shot on a car. I don't want to explain how nitrous works. So I'll just leave it at that.

here Ill Help you its simple

Brandon (SLOWGREEN99) has a STOCK BLOCK good for only about maybe 600hp, So he is limited to what he can do

ZAC has a LS BLOCK thats good for 900+ HP hes good to do whatever he wants

Well that makes more sense. I was under the assumption Brandon made more power than that.

Brandons car should be around 400-450 on motor... Add a 200-300 shot and the wheels come off the ground.... even though a 150 shot will almost never be a true 150 hp at the tires

fuck, Brandon's car makes .98hp per CI or 1.37hp per CFM

thats some weak ass shit Brandon has

You don't need to explain how nitrous works to me. I would like you to explain why he couldn't run a bigger nitrous shot to make more power, assuming his engine wouldn't fail, or he's dropping E/T's due to traction issues.

A 300 shot on a stock block is no joke, and I completely understand why he wouldn't run anything bigger if engine failure is the issue.

You can put a bigger shot on but unless the cam is right for it you won't make more power. If you can't take it from their I won't even try.

Even if it does make more power it may just blow through the converter and your gains, if any, would be minimal at best.
