I appreciate your concern. Tried to use a generic term for nitrous oxide-the "other company" usually capitalizes all the letters. Wasn't trying to confuse, wasn't advertising and didn't use anything but NX Express in the main post. Sort of the same thing if you ask for a "Kleenex" tissue when maybe it's another brand. Certain phrases are often used in, and out of, context.
BTW, do you work for NX Express?

Motosportsline; No, I don't work for NX or NOS, I just don't like to see RICER terms used in a performance Forum. "naawsss" or NOS used as a generic term for N2O is misleading. I've seen nos, nitro, naawsss, spray, happy gas, etc. used in other Forums and usually discount their posts as coming from an 18 year old driving a Honduh older than they are. It doesn't take any extra time to use correct terms in a post.

Wow-I didn't know I was so baadddd! As far as performance -I'm old enough to be on my 45th Corvette. Have written articles for Nat'l Corvette Magazines, been Nat'l Officer of NCCC and my last daily driver Vette was going 10.70's. My new has one only been with me three weeks so haven't had much of a chance to do a lot to it-though it did win the Corvette Challenge in Florida two weeks ago running 12.97's.
Oh-I don't have stickers on my windows. Don't need to.
