Nos or not on a pst?

[Agent Orange]

Easy,

Jason's headlight is fully functional. Headlights have been trimmed by everybody for many years now.

[Agent Orange]

I can name a lot of bikes that had cut/trimmed headlights with only 1 bulb working.

YOUR RIGHT, AND THEY WERE ILLEGAL...AND WITH THE NEW RULE CHANGE THEY WILL BE LEGAL....

The rules never stated that the headlight couldn't be cut, it just had to be functional.

[turbotony]

THEN WHY WOULD A NEW RULE BE NEEDED....

I agree with the "New Rule".

It's more like a revision instead of a new rule, right?

Rules are like steel, the more they are bent the easier they are to break.

Can a NOS bike have turbo

[UGOT5]

You have bikes being built and now this

if you want to let the class grow quit kicking the people in the mouth that are trying to finish there bikes to the rules as they are.
This will lead to more bikes sitting in the corner of the garage or being sold for 1/2 the building price from frustrated builders.

Funny bike
I do not think they get a turbo,intercooler,NOS combo

[Cycle Concepts]

I have a nitrous Pro Street bike in the mix for 2010, and its insane to think it might have to keep up with 685 lb. nitrous/turbo bikes.

Next year it looks like there is going to be 6-10 new nitrous Pro Street bikes out there. Don't do those guys wrong by giving their power adder to a turbo bike too.

Jason, that is a legitmate concern but you also have to consider that a nos bike has "unlimited" weight and can also run alcohol...Now I know that a nos bike can get down to atleast 400lbs before the rider if not lighter..so say a nos bike/rider is 550 lbs along with all the other stuff they can have, they will be competitive because they are 100+ lbs lighter..the nos idea on the turbo is not a big deal if you really think about it...the nozzle location and jet size will make it simply a cold air injection basically the same as what water injection is but alot more effective...if it adds power, so what!! they can't use the power they try to make now but what makes sense in all this to me is a racer can maintain their current performance levels safer and more efficiently...again nozzle placement and the size of the jet can make nos useless as a power adder but effective as a heat exchanger..

I want 2 more inches of wheelbase for non intercooled bikes too!!

are nitrous bikes allowed to come out to race?
sounds like nitrous isnt allowed to TRY to win A race!

does any body even remember win a nitrous bike won a shootout race
maybe 6-7 years ago.


nobody deserves to win, based upon the price of your bike.

It will cost the same as a turbo to do a nos bike right

The way I see and as well as some of the other guys that race this class that have called and asked about this subject see it is they are not looking to be able to put 4 nozzles in the cylinder or put one nozzle in the plenum or be able to spray a 100hp of nitrous along with the turbo...What they are proposing is being able to put a single nozzle in the charge tube very close to the turbo like you do a water injection system and be able to use a .015"-.020" jet...The little bit I know about nitrous and how critical nozzle placement is, I know that a .020" jet being that vary from the plenum/intake is not gonna add enough power to make a difference but it would still be a fairly effective as a intercooler by removing some heat out of the charge...there are guys pushing upwards of 35 lbs of boost to try and keep up with the front runners and this poses some issues for them and the organization(s)..the racers are gonna break parts at that level of performance and they are gonna break them on the track...this creates down time for the organization and financial burdens for racers that want to compete but don't have sponsors, own their own business,etc...Those that like a/a intercoolers will build a/a intercooler..those that like l/a will do the same..If the rule is written correctly and well thought out it will not give anybody an advantage...This is a very inexpensive alternative to some of the more expensive forms of intercooling...it's something to think about..take the blinders off and think about the future of the class and the people that will be supporting the class...

Whether you use 25lbs w/nos and make 550hp or 35 lbs w/out nos and make the same , you are going to break parts! 550hp is just that 550hp!!!!! All you guys that want nos just want a way to try to run away w/something or get out of spending the money to do it the correct way, Like me/SEB/ Jason/ Richard/ Rob/ and a few others have done.

So all your talk about being fair just went out the window. And you will break more stuff w/nos!! so quite all your Most of the people about this is not even running the class this year
