They say the best Nitrous is NO-Nitrous.

And I have to disagree, the best nitrous is the one used right, safely, and knowledgeably. Just like any other forced induction, too much of anything is not good, whether that be nitrous or boost.

And the cost is simply passed on to the new car customer with increasing car prices...


As for N2O... done correctly, it is perfectly safe and the instant torque is an absolute hoot!!! LOL!

I had the same thing happen in a previous vehicle... lying to the dealership never even crossed my mine... took responsibility for my action and paid for the repairs!

You might want to check into it. I am attaching a couple screen shots for your review.
Someone needs to get busted for fraud.

You know, the floor plate thing has always been what irritated me the most.

Looks like he quit the group on Facebook and locked down his account info. Someone must had tipped him off.

Unfortunately for him he can't delete the screen shots of him admitting to fraud.

I guess you could PM the Chevrolet Customer Service folks on this site and give them the heads up. I'm not sure they would have enough info to track him down, but maybe they can do an ALL POINTS BULLETIN!

Come on guys. Manifold overpressure is a serious thing when your laptop is telling you "Danger to Manifold", you gotta take that stuff seriously! don't just yell shut up after leaving the starting line like your trying to run a slalom.
