Before installing nitrous, you need to be sure of timing, fuel pressure, your tune in regards to advance. If it detonates you can almost be guarenteed of damage. Read, read and read some more about nitrous before you decide to do it. Faliure to do so might be a costly learning experience. Been there done that 15 yrs ago and won't go there again!

Here is how I look at nitrous.....each time you push the button or active it; you best be prepared to replace the motor.

I say use it. Get as much info about it as you can. The more you know the safer it becomes. NOS, Nitrous Express and Edelbrock all have get Tech pages.

Your right they all do, its just a matter of helping it along.
Not saying not to use it; just saying that when you do it, if your prepared for the worst then there are no surprises.....especially when using it on motors/components that are not built for it initially.
Nice photo! I know what that scenery looks like

There's a guy on the F-Body forum who ran a 10.89 on a stock LT1 engine with a 180 shot.
