I agree with you 100%. I have two car seats in my car 100 of the time. So there is no racing except at the track for me.
You need to look into the laws where you are at about nitrous though.
Here in Georgia you cna have Nitrous, it can be installed BUT the mainline cannot be hooked up to the car. Meaning at the bottle or at the nozzle. One of those has to be off or you will be getting a ticket if not thrown in jail.

Thanks, I will check into that right away. Also, I wanted to get some input about my dyno sheet again. I put this up on other forums to get some feedback as well. I will be quite frank here, while I am pumped over my numbers, I am not feeling good about this dyno sheet. I’m not happy with the curve, and the fact that he ran the car to 6400 rpm.
Now, this means two things, one is that the car is not tuned optimally or two is they did a single run like this just to push the car and give me a really nice dyno sheet. Chris told me he had a conservative track tune on it for the Zex, and that he likes to keep his AF around 12.2 to 12.7. In fact, my street tune from him is 12.7. He says he never puts a tune on a car at 13.5.
However, I want answers, if my car isn’t at 278 on the track tune he really put on the car, then so be it. Dyno numbers are good information, but the track is where it counts, so while its fun to be competitive, I want to make sure my car is 100% safe. I’m also concerned he tuned this car like he would a 4.6 V8, and that is why he ran it to 6400. I’m one of two 4.0’s in his shop.
I also know that he uses the tail pipe sensor for AF, i.e. the long rod that goes into the muffler which here and on other forums, people told me is not the best way to measure AF. I’m also not convinced that he has the TQ management tuned 100%.
I will get to the bottom of this, and I really value everyone’s constructive input here. I’m determined to maximize the performance of this car while keeping the nitrous safe. Even if I have to go on a road trip to another shop, so be it.
