I agree if you have a race car or want to race competitively. For the guy with a low buck street car that wants to run a number for the excitement its hard to beat. Take mine for example, it has an overdrive four speed, weighs around 3400 race weight and less than optimal suspension/gears to say the least. It makes enough power to go 10s with the right chassis setup but I'm hoping for mid/low 11s n/a. The thing is I know that will not make me happy for long and building enough power n/a will require some costly upgrades to my drivetrain and limit my streetability so for the handful of times I will actually race the car nitrous makes sense. I'm not out for bragging rights as to running a number, it's just running slower than mid to high tens doesn't seem very exciting to me but neither does building a single purpose drag car to run a few times a season.
