make sure you get the ignition first, and a better fuel pump to handle any excess needs. that way your bases are covered.

i was told for a non turbo car to use a turbo fuel pump... or like a walbor 225 and to use a 50 shot to a 100 shot of noz... u might want to use IRDUIM NGK spark plugs... any other type will foul out umm do a little bit more home work..

Using NOS is no different then turbo charging your vehicle when comes down to how the power is made. When you add nitrous alls you're doing is the same thing the turbo does: Cram in more air. Nos gets such a bad rep from people who dont understand how it works. Kind of like our friend Nismo619 here saying you need to run iridium plugs or else they'll foul out. Thats bullshit. Would I need Iridium plugs to push 50 more horsepower out of my turbo motor? Nope. At most you might need to change the heat range of the plug. Upgrade everything the same way you would for a turbo charger. The only difference is that the nitrous has an on/off switch and needs to be replenished. There only two true drawbacks to a nitrous system. One is the previously mentioned fact that it's a consumable. The other is that you have to rely on solenoids to get that extra fuel when the nos is switched on. Solenoids can fail. And when that happens it's bye bye motor unless you have some sort of pressure safety switch.

he is right. it does not burn , it supports combustion since it decomposes into oxygen and nitrogen when heated.

I was waiting for somone to make a freaking post about the hole torbo charge and nos really being the same just different methods. I lot of people really don't know that and it is strange to me when I hear the damn turbo street racers slam nitros saying that it is un-natrale. then tell me that shoving air into the engine with a turbo is.
any way I can't remember who sayed don't use more than an 80 shot, but that is good advise. I heard it is generally going to be a safe line at 75, remember this car wasn't turbo so you have to take combustion heat, and preasure into consideration. the rings could be a weak point. but the crank will handle fine.

MY ORIGIONAL ENGINE, THE INLINE 6 HAD 196,000 MILES.
I PUT IN A MILD CAM, 1 STEP COLDER PLUGS, FIRE BALL COIL, FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR, 60MM THROTLE BODY, FULL EXHAUST. AND I HIT IT WITH A 100 SHOT ALL DAY.

I WAS ON A McCREARY DRAG RADIAL. I COULD DROP THE CLUTCH AT 3000 SPRAYING OFF THE LINE AND DEAD HOOK.

That sounds a lil over-exagerated. A 100 shot on a stock engine (20 years old and 195k miles)... All day long...

I wouldn't be worried so much about the engine standing up, thats just over 200HP total at the flywheel (non-turbo of course), when all is said and done ( a 100 shot is most likely not going to give you an actual extra 100hp). But I would be worried about the stock injectors and fuel pump keeping up as they would surely be running near full duty cycle at those power levels.
