Stage 4 $400.00
Stage 5 $215.00
Total for stage 5 $3915.00 add $200.00 if you want the Race FMIC.
Plus I have the Exedy Twin disc race clutch $1450.00
Plus I have the BR short shifter $135.00
So I was doing a 14.0 fastest time stock, and now I am 12.9... I have to be doing something wrong!!!
It would be nice to get advice and not be ripped on

I took the car down to a test and tune, there has only been one other person drive the car at the track and he had an STI. IT ISNT DRIVER FAULT cuz he couldnt get any faster than a 13.1...

I agree that something appears to be off. You should have a higher trap speed. Your mod list doesn't mention if you've been tuned, but I concede making 381 without a tune would be unlikely.
To answer the question at hand, I say stay away from laughing gas. I think it would be much better to go with alchy injection. An even safer bet would be to use race gas and bump your boost from 20-21 psi to 26-27 psi. That will give you the extra power you're looking for and will be a heck of a lot cheaper.
Finally, can you tell us anything about the way you're racing? At what RPM do you shift? Do you no-lift shift? What are other cars trapping? Could there be something wrong with the track?

OK first, i had my ecu re-flashed by dyno flash after all mods were installed, right after the 272 hks cams were put in. OK, this is how i i run it. once i am up to the line and the light is still red, i pull the emergency brake up but keep the button pressed in and my hand on the handle.... i give it gas and let off the clutch a little just so i can feel the clutch is a little engaged and the emergency brake si the only thing holding the car back..... once the last yellow light first turns on i drop the emergency brake and WOT ( the emergency brake thing works the best and keeps me from breaking the tires loose to much, i only peel out for about half a second that way..) then i shift between 6800 and 7000rpm. quick fast shifts... yes i let off the gas between shifts but honestly with the short shifter and how well the clutch grabs the rpms dont get a chance to drop to much.... so there you go

Drew, I know a lot of people that started out running 14's with their Evo's - myself included. I could only muster 99-100mph. At first I just wanted to get into the 13's. After some time and practice I got it into the 12's. I eventually got down to 12.8 at 106 on 91 pump with 21 psi (pretty close to you). With race gas and more boost, my car went 12.3 at 111.
I say give it more time & boost and your times will go down and your speed will go up.

What's with the emergency brake? Can't you just push the clutch in a little more to keep it from inching forward? That really shouldn't matter on your speed though.
