Put a query out for LARS. He has owned cross-fires, has built NOS cars, and has some good thoughts on NOS in general. :yesnod: :yesnod:

He checks into this Forum regularly.

Is that a I4 or V6? I had an 86 Fiero I4 and loved it. I wish I never sold it. It had 147,000 miles on it when I sold it a few years back and I drove the $&%# out of it. I bought it brand new and so far has been the best new car I have ever owned (execpt for the Vett but that goes without saying). As far a NOS goes...anything is possible with enough $$$$. Depending on which engine you have I am sure you could research what compression ratio/ pistons/crank material in the engine. You need strong parts for a large NOS shot. Personally I would never use a large 100 + shot. If I ever did NOS I'd build the engine with alot of normal power the put a 50 to 100 shot on it just for extra uuummmph.
