Too much nitrous and you twist the crankshaft

Like NAV said "properly tuned". If you're twisting cranks and holing
pistons it isn't. Remember Honda used to *detune* their 400cc F1 bikes down
to 150-200HP so somebody could ride them, and thats without nitro.
It's obvious neither of you know your bikes.
Even suggesting a homemade drag racer be tuned like a
factory, one-of, half a million dollar in R&D, road racing
machine with a usable powerband all of 500 rpm wide and
an 18-speed tranny shows how little either of you understand
drag racing where it's all about useable horsepower and
torque from a couple thousand rpm up to the redline.
Put one of those factory road racers on the strip and
a Gold Wing misfiring on one cylinder would do the
quarter mile faster.
Keep in mind that I did not use a turbo or super charger.
My drag racer was normally aspirated. This limits how
much nitrous can be realistically intaken and compressed
in the cylinder. Blown and injected machines were in another
class altogether. (And quite a bit faster!)
I hope this helps straighten out your lack of understanding
of drag racing and motorcycles in general.
