Re: How'd you do that 500rwhp bone stock?

Jim -

I am always very careful to use the phrase "bone stock motor'ed", as the car is (was :( ) just that. The motor its'self was the same as when it left the assembly line in St. Therese. The rest of the car was far from stock. I had every bolt on you could buy for the LS1, a few homemade tricks, and a custom designed nitrous wet kit. The kit went through a number of different evolutions, and was in the process of getting significantly improved again when the car was stolen. :(

My point to all of it is, there is much more to nitrous than "throwing a kit on a car", as some would have you believe. I reached the numbers I did as a result of careful tuning, and a lot of hard work. :)

Gotcha, thanks.

Power is power - no matter how you get it. To dismiss nitrous as somehow cheating is absurd - who crossed the finish line first is what matters.

I would think that the turbo community would embrace nitrous since they go so well together.
