The biggest danger of nitrous is that the boost is all at once. Not built up like TC/SC's. A lot of the nitrous horror stories are from people who got too greedy or said to hell with safeties.

that's true, but once you get to the high HP shots, that's when you want to go with progressive shots.

A bad tune can cause a lot of problems too when you get up into the high HP shots but a bad tune can be a problem for any form of FI or even a NA motor.

I am pissed off at XM right now. I tried to swap jewel's service over to one of the sonics because I don't drive the car much and they wouldn't allow me. They said I can only do that if I sell the car. Should have told them I sold it


Omg and they wouldn't let me cancel either. Idiots!!!! The credit card on file is cancelled so have fun charging me aholes.

XM customer service is by far the worst in the world.

Never again will I activate after that. She asked me to spell my name 3 times and asked are you sure?

I also have to call again at the end of the month to try and cancelled for 2014/2015

Well you can call them. They have no record of me having two other sonics. I gave them the vins and they said those cars are not in my name.

Idk maybe they just always give me the bad reps but I hate talking to them. My dad has gotten a call from them for the past two weeks twice a day asking him to renew.

Same with me. When I have to spell out my last name I have to end up doing it 4 times and then have to do it military style by saying Mary Echo Nancy...

I swear I saw on here that you can swap the service. People said they have done it in the winter because they don't drive their cars.
