This was cool...This late model prelude came up next to me at a light and took off a little speedy with his loud a** muffler whailing away, so I keep an eye on him. There was traffic all around me and therefore couldn't get next to him. At the next light he got through as the light was turning yellow, I was too far away to make the light before it turned but I said to myself "I WANT HIM!" so I floored it I get through the light and tail him a little until we reach a bridge that leads to a portion of my city we call "The Island". I pull in front of him going over the bridge and the light just over the bridge turns yellow, I say "here we go" and reach for "The Switch", hehe. I take a look around(looking for the fuz) and look at him and the light turned green, I got a little of a jump and we were both WOT! I felt the N2O kicking in and smokin' my tires, I was about a car length ahead going through first then I hit second and leap forward another 1/2 car length hitting about 45mph, then third gear, hitting around 55mph then I see him in my side mirror backing off so I let up and start braking hard because the speed limit is 30. I just had a big grin on my face as he passed me, keeping his eyes on the road. After that light there is really nothing for another 10 miles and we were side by side the whole way. I wanted to go again but we never caught another light. We did do some of your good ole I speed up and you try and catch me stuff . I have never used my nitruos right off of the line before and it really felt good to feel it pull so hard. Well sorry for the long story if you made it this far

 

good story. How long do you think you were squeezing? 3-4 seconds? I'm curious because a guy around here had NOS in his older RX-7 and destroyed the engine on the first use because he held the N2O too long.

Also, if you are getting the federal version of the bosal, then you can never get a header. Wouldn't you rather get the California version so you could get a header, replace the secondary cat with a performance cat and then you'd have legal emisions, a header and a cat back? Or are you gonna get a header anyway and screw the emisions?

 

I probably squeezed for about 5 seconds total.
I will figure out the header thing when I get there but for now I want to get rid of one of these cats.

I have never had my car on a dyno but I figure with the numbers 140hp stock and 55hp added with the ZEX, it should be about 195 at the crank while squeezing. Sound about right?
No he didn't try to do a ricer fly by, we were both doing the speed limit while heading into the next town. I was trying to catch another light so we could do it again but he didn't seem intrested. He did try and leave me though a couple of times to no avail
