I also see this is a true fact.
nitrous 1K
blower 3K min.
extra bottle $100 ( used all over the place)
so 3100 blower-1100 nitrous =2100...@ 4.00/lb. that= 525 lbs of nitrous to equal the cost.
On a 100 shot, lets say 1/LB per pass..that's 525 passes to equall the blower cost. I have only filled 6 bottles in the last 2 yrs. Plus all the rest of the time you still have the economics and driveability of a stock motor.
Good luck in your choice.

I just posted a question in Tech before finding this thread.
My question is this: Can a stealth nitrous install pass California Smog? I don't want to spend the money and end up failing the visual inspection. Sure, there are pirate smog shops out there, and I know I could mount a stock TPI for the test, and then swap to a plumbed set-up for 2 years before having to switch back, but who wants the hassle? I'm trying to find out if anybody has managed to pass an L98 thru smog with nitrous plumbing in place. Can it be done?

What kit is #5170? I thought the NOS kit was 05151.

Tim, I just went over to the NOS site and you're right. Goes to show you how thoroughly Gov't people can muck things up.........typos galore in that EO.
Must've been one of their non-english speaking phone operators writing that one
