Default how many people run nitrous?

100-150 shot nitrous is pretty safe on our cars from what I hear ,, ls 2 and 3 can handle it every weekend,, anyone else spray every weekend or so at the track ?

I'm thinking about adding it to my combination since everyone says it's a time bomb already at 12psi boost.
Nevermind the fact it has been running strong for a year and a half now.

Had it on my c5 for about 8 years or so. Just make sure you have it tuned correctly.

Nitrous cars run

150 wet all day long. I plan to add a stand alone tank and run c16 fuel in it and bump it to a 200 shot. Been running the spray for years on everything from my chopper, buss, drag car, hell..... I would spray on my keyboard if I could to type faster! Love it!

I originally had a kit on my car... and took it off before using it.

I decided the blower was more practical. Although more expensive, it is there all the time and makes more power than nitrous. I don't need to worry about filling bottles... bottle heaters... etc...

I'm only thinking about putting it back on the car now for that little extra when I get it to the track.
