nos over a maggie
I was thinking about running a 50 shot over my non-intercooled magnuson charged car -- has anyone heard anything about any problems with this application -- I dont want to blow the motor - but a little extra power wouldn't hurt -- has anyone heard of anyone else doing this???

I have considered a 50 shot with my Maggie..lots of people say go alky instead of NOS but I have heard the advantages of NOS are you can tune the car to run with or without but with alky if you run out you have issues. I know Mike Norris is a big fan of NOS with the Maggie may wanna talk to him at Next Level Performance...http://www.norris-motorsports.com/index.html

21st century -- said that you have to tune your blower a bit more conservatively to be safe with this option -- so when your not running the juice your making about ten less horsepower -- but you will definately pick up considerably more power and torque over alky injection while running the NOS. especially torque!!! sounds interesting!!
