I thought if you shot it with 60hp hit it would be 60hp no matter what size or how many pistons(or rotors)???? I was in a porsche 914 that has a SHO motor in it and man did 100hp shot feel huge. it is definatly alot different than boost even though its doing the same thing. turbo and sc boost let you know its time to start paying attention, nos is like you pay ******* attention RIGHT NOW. I have not been in a car with both.........yet

It's all about volume. A "60 shot" is a bogus term. The jet size,bottle pressure, & size/type of the engine is what determines the amount of power the n20 gives.

The jet just meters the amount of N20 going into the engine.

So picture a shot glass and a beer mug. (Shot glass is a small engine and the beer mug is a huge one) And lets say a half full shot glass represents a "X" amount of n20.

So the shot glass is half full of n20 and half full of air. This makes a 50% n20 and 50% air mix. Where as if you put half a shot glass in a beer mug your only going to fill like 5% of the glass with n20 and the other 95% will be air.

Don't you think that the mixture thats 50% n20 will give a more violent explosion (which means more power pushing down on Pistons ) Than the 95% air and 5% n20? Even though the same amount of N20 (aka water) is in both glasses (aka engines)

Hope that made some kind of sense. It's late I'm goin to bed...
