nitrous engine wear & tear
A friend and I were having a debate and I was hoping someone here could settle it. He claims that using a nitrous kit will not increase engine wear (this based off of some advertising literature I believe.. ). However, I've read countless posts on H-T that state the opposite.. that nitrous will quickly wear down piston rings, seals, etc. Can someone clarify this for me? Thanks..
Oh BTW I already did a search

Ok well let me follow this up then. Would nitrous be more or less strenuous on the engine than a turbo/supercharger?

Nitrous tends to be brutal. It spikes the torque curve at low rpms.
Can you say 200 lb/ft at 3500 rpm???
This is just a SOHC motor also!
Also remember this FACT......
unless using a controller ($250) NOS flows at the same rate, not dependate on RPM's.
You get most power boost at lower rpms.
Also usually get faster times using a lower shift point when spraying.
