Re: nitrous? (wigi93)

It depends what componants that 170,000 mile 'Vette has. If it's got forged internals....I would say yea. However, if we are talking about a pretty much stock L48, I wouldn't recommend it. How many HP shot are you looking at?

At 170k miles it probably could use a rebuild anyway. I say spray 'til she blows.
