I could do some damage with this...


My buddy picked it but now wants to get rid of it cause he is getting a super charger for his mustang. I could have a lot of fun with that and I could have a lot of problems to right? I've never been a huge fan of nitrous. I'll change the pulleys out and make as much boost as I can, but I dont like to spray. (it's pretty much doing the same thing right? Increasing the cylender pressure?)
I would hate having to re-fill the bottle all the time. I'd get used to the nitrous really quickly and get pissed when I went empty. Imagine going without our blower or bigger pulley after a certain amount of runs... It would suck. The bottle is pretty big so I'm sure it will last you a while. I just think if I got the kit I'd be needing a built motor pretty soon.

That bottle is way to big to put in that truck. I guess some custom work in order?

Gonna haul though. You'll have the worlds fastest model lightning

Arent you at 400 hp already? You know past 450 or so is about the limit before you build (somone just blew with like 460 hp?). I too am not a big fan of nitrious, but i think if you have it dyno tuned you should be safe in terms of permanent damage. Just don't expect any more warrenty work after if something goes. I say just save up to build your block, then get a new S/C and just turn the boost up. And i know "just" is a convienient word there, but yeah . . .

Call american express you only live once.

Yeah I know. I don't think I have room on my plate for nitrous. I would much rather build the bottom end first... However Nitros Rob is doing real well with his pulley+nitrous set up...

DO NOT be afraid of the juice. I will be going from 10#s of boost to 16#s and a 125 shot. I of course am having a built long block being put together with some Crower Stage IIs cams.

Thank for looking out for me Gator

grinomyte, I kinda wish I saved that tune and run for this
upcoming weekend at Cecil, just think, it could have been a 11.6

Plus The Man "Johnny" would have been there to get some
readings and tweaked me a bit, but unfortunatly I can't make it.

But let the record show, MANY MORE L's have blown WITHOUT NITROUS, than with.

But "if" and when mine does blow, (and it may some day)
The Motor will be done for @ 6K soup to nuts,
there will be no KB added, prob no cam's either,
But there will be an 8lb lower, a 2lb upper
and 150 HP Jets for my voyage 10 sec run
