stage 3 cars are running 11's now. with the correct supporting mods there's no reason that you can't as well. no need for nitrous either.

yea, i dislike nos for two reasons,
1: it blows your engine and you spend a whoel ****load cleaning the connecting rod that wanted some sun up off the highway and reparing it and/or buying a new engine

2: its cheap (as in bad, not as in less money) imo

not to start a war here, but why do you think that nitrous is cheap? i've heard from a lot of people that they consider it cheating and such, but i don't get it. i mean, yea it is cheap hp ($ wise), but anyone can get it, so why is it cheating? so then does that mean that if i put on w/i that's cheating?

my veiw for nos is.. if you use spray your car isnt fast without it(or as fast) and its for people who cant build motors. when you bottle runs out they stop running cuz they lost a whole sec or more. sure its gets the job done but its just bleh...the word would just have to be ....gay. my buddy had a 91 crx with a ZC motor.. it was slow as hell with out the nos and with the spray he ran like low 14's but when his bottle ran out you would just destory him. if he didnt have is bottle filled he wouldnt run.. thats usaly how it is. yea i know your gunna say low 14's isnt fast but back in the early 90's a low 14 in a honda was good considering all we had back then was cat backs and intakes.

dont pay attention to doomsday over there(lilsparkplug) do what you want with YOUR car. if you want the power go aftermarket turbo if you want the driveabilty and reliabilty go mopar.
I don't understand how giving someone advice can lead to me being a "doomsday". I gave him both sides of the coin, didn't tell him what to do either way. I think you need to read things a little more thoroughly before posting a reply.

Mopar upgrades are the best way to go if you want a daily driver. Yes you'll be into the 11s with Stage 3 and supporting mods as stated before. The best part about the Mopar upgrades is you have less problems than those who venture into aftermarket parts not made by mopar. PSI Chick can list everything for you, but people who don't go with the Mopar upgrades find themselves with blown lines, melted wires, and basically things just not running correctly. Sure you can get ALOT more power by venturing into other aftermarket turbos and supporting modifications, but for a daily driver, that you just want into the 11s, the easiest way possible, would be Stage 3.

I say go for it if thats your goal. I wouldn't NOT research other ways of gaining entrance into the 11s, but you will find if you search SRTforums, that the amount of people without Mopar modifications are having tuning issues, amongst many other things. I'll hand the problems on that one over to PSIChick as she follows it more closely than I do, and can list them all for you.

Your attitude is infantile. Clutter other forums with your idiocracy and stop hijacking his thread. I simply offered both sides of the coin....no harm done in doing that. I figured since he didn't have the SRT-4 yet he might not have known that it voided the entire warranty (as others haven't known in the past and have decided against it since the car is brand new). But he then stated he wanted a car in the 11s, thus throwing all warranty worries out the window. So I offered supporting modifications as well as advice and suggestions (as others did) on which way to go. Once the clarification was made, I stated things much similar to what others stated.

Again...stop being infantile, we're a mature group here out to help one another out.

Oh and Nitrous isn't cheating....as PSI Chick stated, if its available for everyone, and is on the market giving everyone an opportunity to purchase and utilize it, its technically void of all "cheating" you may have associated with it. And bolt on turbo kits are for people who can't "build motors" either. Same thing with Superchargers. If your speaking of building motors, that would mean something like what PSI-fi has done with their SRT-4...and most people don't have the knowledge, or if they possess the knowledge they don't possess the means (money) and ways (equipment) to "build" their SRT-4 a race motor. Therefore, kits like the Mopar upgrades were built, as well as others.

So....if thats "cheap HP", then Mopar upgrades must be "cheap HP" as well. Since theres no "building" or "tuning" of the motor because its pretty much plug and play. And people who "can" build motors utilize nitrous as well. They "build" their motor to support the nitrous shot they're running in order not to blow the engine.

and your the srt expert right? 20 years old and know everything srt and car related.its your first turbo car and your first "fast" car. immature? your the one getting all bent out of shape with one little joke. you could have shrugged it off and laughed but no your get all pissy. whatever dont argue with the grown ups. as for the spray lets go back to my buddys crx. 13.88 on the bottle with slicks.. off the bottle and on street tires he ran 15.3..yea impressive... would never run people without his bottle just like 99% of people who have it. they dont race without it and its not there real hp output. thats why people think its "cheating" beacuse its cheap and easy and takes no skill and no real internal modifications. you upgrade your turbo or put a blower on your motor the hp you make is what you make. no refilling. stop getting all worked up off one lil comment that wasnt ment to be mean. for being "mature group" you sure all touchy i guess you arnt mature after all.

no problems with nos just dont like the reliability factor plus i believe that if they anounce what they have before they race or both people have it then its fair game,as for this argument lets tone it down a couple of notches and lets ALL ACT OUR AGE and dont get so heated over something so mundane.[sm=exactly.gif][sm=exactly.gif]
