If I had to do it over again, I think I would of bought some heads and not nitrous but I am now one of the bottle fed boyz.
All I need to do is weld some supports for the nitrous bottle mounts and it will officially be over.
First time out at the track will start out with a 100 shot and go from there.

Did the nitrous stuff really cost the same as a set of heads? I dont see how that is possible unless you bought a 3 stage fogger.:D

Good news is that the nitrous will help out with the runner size you have.:thumbsup:

If I had sold my current heads and with what I have into this nitrous..... Yes I could of bought some good aluminum heads.

Well that sucks but the nitrous will still make more power in the long run. Do some reasearch on plugs, it seems that the serious nitrous guys run a certain plug(wish I could remember right now) but the plug will melt and stop firing before something really bad happens. As opposed to some other plugs that will keep firing away and then you can do some damage to other parts of the motor.

i talked to roger for plugs he said there are ones that the electrode is pretty much flush with the end of the threads and those are the ones you want. im sure summit may have some designated nitrous plugs

Baby steps on the nitrous. I have gone to colder plugs but won't need any kind of special plugs until I step it up and that will be a while.
