Definition of "boost"

BOOST
The increase in air/fuel pressure above atmospheric pressure in the intake system caused by the action of a supercharger or turbocharger attatched to an engine.


You are not "boosting" if you are using nitrous. This is like saying, "I'm using NOS" when you are actually using the NX nitrous kit.

Please use the term correctly. Thank you, drive through.

Definition of "I'm sending in an oil analysis on Jane's car and mine"

When you actually follow through and send the damn oil samples in as you promised. Thank you, drive through.

True,

Boosting = S/C or T,

'sparaying' = N2O

I don't have either so I'll just drive through.

No need to be a politician about it, just send the samples in.

I'll have him do an oil change after the trip and I'll send it in, but it won't be the. That should make you happy.
