I was reading the uncomplete turbo list and read an interesting fact. I was reading that at SRT Stage 2 ran a [email protected] in the 1/4. With the mods in my profile i have run a [email protected] in the 1/4 mile (shitty reaction time on my part). I was thinking about getting that exact kit. So the question is should i try to tune and break into the 12's and save money or get turbo like i want to? I was planning on using nitrous with the turbo kit which would make my times better. But, after reading that it kind of makes me want to pursue the 12's on a non-turbo setup. Any opinions are welcome and i thank you for your input.

GTE: 60' was 2.217 and my 1/8 was 8.847

Win0_II please elaborate more on the damage u think i'm doing. I don't really spare that often so i don't think i'm doing much more damage than having a turbo.

Wino_II first, i would like to say thanks for the honest and fair response. I happen to know a good bit about nitrous since i have been spraying for about a year now. The thing that makes my spraying safe is that i have gone to great links to have the car tuned and done things to keep the risk minimal. The thing with nitrous is that the heat is only for a short period of time and with a turbo that heat from burning all the extra air is constantly there. Pleas tell me if i'm wrong on that part, but that is how i have come to understand what happens. Also, i don't go through a bottle a weak which helps keep the ware and tear to a minimum.

When nitrous is under pressure it has a cooling effect. I think it had to do with the chemical makeup of the compound. When i let nitrous out of my bottle it always freezes the area where it is coming out of.

BlueIS thanks for the input. I can tell that my tranny is taking ware. Would maybe a valve body upgrade help with that? I do have a tranny cooler and tbko shift kit on it to try to help with that.

Thats why all it comes down to is knowing the limits and spraying responsibly. Also, to help with the ware on my tranny what do u guys suggest i do, things like a valve body upgrade, tourque converter, and etc.
