yea but we have style and comfort. Besides, our interior and exterior design is far more superior than theirs. Who cares if they can go fast 0-60 and 1/4mile. We can outperform and shin in other areas..but if you still want to go after dry system, go with NOS. A cheaper alternative is CO2 if you are interested....

I was just giving him another outlet for asking, not pushing him there. For what its worth, I think its foolish to put nitrous on a daily driven vehicle.

I agree...Plus, for a vehicle to run nitrous safely, all other management must be done properly..Fuel management, engine, and proper ECU. I once knew a kid who put a wet nitrous system in a Dodge Neon. Used it to race against other kids in faster cars such as Mustang GT. The neon would win most of the time until he fried his pistons and his engine gasket....He had everything stock....just added NOS and thought it was safe...
