who makes a good nitrous oxide kit...like who has the best Wet shot setup?
-nos
-nx
-zex
-others?

also...what do you think would need to be done to the engine to get it to hold a 100 shot regularly?

i was thinking...exhaust work..headers...cams (n/a power)...maybe some higher compression pistons (for just n/a power)...injectors...fuel pump & fuel management

what do you think a 100 shot with those mods would put a 1.8 tibby at in the 1/4 mile?

*Look TibNRice, don't double post. If you need a bump, wait at least 2 days, you bumped this up the same day you posted it. Give folks a chance to read your post. I've warned you before, STOP DOUBLE POSTING*

nobody?

I am sure someone will post soon, who knows about nitrous, just relax.
its sunday morning, everyone is still asleep, lol

I remember there was a couple of posts in the "forced induction" section about different kits.

JohnGTR would be one of the people to ask.

well, im not exactly sure.

while turbo/super uses higher pressure to create more oxygen molecules, i dont think nitrous changes the pressure at all. its just a higher concentration of oxygen molecules. maybe you could raise compression, since increased temp. and pressure are the only reasons to lower compression.

Default Have some questions about heated seats!

I think for the money you would spend on nitrous and refills, and tearing your motor down to put on the high comp pistons, you would be better off just putting in a turbo. With the turbo you have higher cost at start up, but you can use it all the time and not have to worry about refilling it.

and turbos are much more reliable.... with nitrous if you hit it, it will keep on going after detonation... and not to mention nitrous is really volatile... if you get a crack or hole in the lines, you will be FUBAR... i have seen it happen to a Camaro in Niagara Falls...
