well zip. i dont see why you should get blassted for that. its speacks volumes of truth.i dont get that deep on building engines anymore. i havent for a long time. but you are 100% dead on on this one.i dont like nos either, but for different resons i quess. to me and probably only me, i think nos is for a engine that cant get the last of the power out of it.its not mechanical hp.i like to think that when i did build engines that i squeezed every bit of hp out of it with the parts and machine work i put into it. is this coming out like im trying to say?cheaters juice.lol.and i only had one shot to get a engine built. i couldnt afford to have a atomic bomb go off in the cyl.and have something come un-glued.and it will in time.some short ,some long, but it will happen.
