"Over the years, nitrous has been given a bad rap. It blows motors, melts pistons, and sends the hoods of cars flying skyward. It even blew up an entire car in that Hollywood abomination, The Fast and the Furious. Come on, the stuff isn't even flammable!
The truth is nitrous can be used quite safely, and that's exactly what we are about to do here. Play it safe and you'll get power increases otherwise available only through extensive engine mods or forced induction. The rules of the game are as follows: 1. Watch your mixture. 2. Retard your ignition timing. 3. Monitor nitrous bottle pressure. 4. Use quality fuel. 5. Don't engage the system below 2500 rpm or at less than full throttle. Do all of this, and your motor will stay intact.." - GM HighPerformance
The kit used in this install can be adjusted to 300hp SAFELY! As long as you follow the rules, a 500hp nitrous car puts no less stress on the engine than 500hp forced induction. This is not opinion, it is fact.
