Last time I used nitrous, I was driving a slow-elica. NO2 is a waste of money if you ask me.

It is all in the tuning. 150 shot sounds like alot for a not nitrous built motor. I am not that familiar with it on tight clearance motors of the import kind but on domestic v8's they set the piston ring gap pretty high. I little more blow by but much saver for the motor. My s14 had a chevy 327 what was gapped for NOS and all it had was 150 shot. I have heard guys with BB chevy's runing 500 shot, but those are dedicated drag cars. I guess it depends on the motor. I talked to a tuner in Ft Worth that recommended only a 50 shot and no more for a stock S10. The owner got bored and put the 100 shot jets in it. He blew his intake through the hood.

It spikes the cylinder pretty so quick that it jars your lower end pretty good. There are people they use all the time and have no problems. It gets a bad rap because it never messes up a little bit. If it only takes out a piston/bearing/rod you are pretty lucky. I got my S14 because the previous owner had a 406 (bored out 400sbc) in it. He was turning 10.90's w/ 10in drag slicks and a non lsd rear dif. It had a wet 150 shot of nitrous til it ran lean and "scattered the motor all over the track".

I squeezed in my old Mitsubishi back in the day. My friends and I did the stealth install which I think is a must if you decide to do it. I got pulled over multiple times and the cops never saw it when they inspected under the hood. As long as its done right and you keep your ears and eyes open to any sort of noise or vibration you'll be fine. The key is an even distribution to the cylinders, so keep an eye on your spark plugs and make sure they look evenly smoked. It's not like you'll be squeezing all the time, maybe except the first bottle.

I could have used it last night. went to pass and the other 370z hit the gas thinking i wanted to race. I got around him and back into my lane as another car topped the hill. After he turned around and went back the other way. 75 extra hp would have solved the problem much sooner and at a much lower top speed....

You remind me of this guy I know, Brian Spilner.

Nitrous is like a tease. That's why I prefer turbo(s).

Dont let them scare you, I was heading down the N2O route with my 350Z and as long as you buy quality parts and take every saftey precaution and get a good tune you will be fine..... with a 100shot you should easily break the 400whp barrier.....

This is the key. Almost every nitrous engine blow is due to someone not paying for the safety parts needed or going too high with a dry nitrous system in the first place. Nitrous adds the extra oxygen to your setup, just like a TT or SC and you have to take at least the same precausions plus a few others. Many see nitrous as a cheap quick fix and don't do this. You need a fuel pressure safety switch, wideband, and a window switch at the minimum. This will probably double the cost of you setup.

WB o2 I have now. I am starting with the ZEX kit and the 75 HP jets. If I like it I will work up a computer controlled pulse modulated setup.

There was an article in either DSport or Modified Magazine with an article on the 3.8 Gen Coupe with NOS. Looking at their bolton set up, they have less hp than us but more torq... Anyways I think he was putting out 360ish to the wheels and 320ish torq.
That is amazing!
