you're right! but the car with bolt-ons will give it 600+ hp. that's enough to smoke everything on your daily commute. the nos would only be when you need it. how many times do you travel and find a car on the road you feel will give you a run. i've been driving my car every day for the last 3 months and haven't lost a race yet, other than my cousins sl65, and a friend of mine who has e36 m3 turbo 550hp/700hp NOS. so why bolt on a turbo or supercharger when you only need it once and a while. less r&d cost, more chances for something to break, extra weight, and a hassle to take off and put it back to stock if you have any issues. my personal oppinion i think the NOS is the way to go, hardly will ever use it, less wear and tear on your car compared to a daily use of a supercharger or turbo. i'm planning on doing all the bolt on mods that should give the car an easy 600 or more hp, and then apply a nos kit for those cars or bikes that i feel will give me a run. with 600 hp there won't be many cars out there to compete with you anyway, and if there is, guess what; 150 shot on top of that. your looking at a car that will be pushing over 780hp. you won't find many cars on the road that can run with that. "hidden system". no body would even no it's there!
i'm on the same page with you when it comes to true engine tuning, the nos is just for the extra power when needed. "kind of like your m-button" same concept, 400hp at startup and then you push the m-button for 500hp. what's the difference between having 600+hp all the time and pushing the N-button and getting 780+hp. bmw is thinking the same way.
take care, ttm6.
