So manual isn't the be-all and end-all...
I was feeling like the scum of the Earth at the tuner meets when I'd tell the guys my car was an auto. They'd all hang their heads uncomfortably and change the subject like I just told them I was raped.
Y'all are making me feel a little better about myself now. Of course, the future Civic WILL be manual tho!
So it's safe to add NOS to a stock engine with an intake. What about with the ugly plastic factory intake?
