nitrous and compression
I just did head, cam etc. on my 2000 coupe. I have raised the compression to 11.3 to 1 and was wondering if there is a limit when using nitrous?
Alson anyone using niitrous express system that use the maf ends to inject the nitrous?

Nitrous loves compression.... Just make sure you have enough octane to prevent detonation. At 11.3:1, you problably have to run 94 octane or better to prevent detonation as it. Retard some timing for the sauce or up the octane to racefuel.

I agree.No problem with nitrous on a high compression motor.As stated above run good fuel.The key is all in the tune up.
The NX maff kit will not work on the corvette because of the one peice mass air meter.However they are about to release a maff kit for the vette.I can not wait.
