550s will drown a NA motor..live with the stock ones till you get the turbo next year if you dont what to spring for the 310s

i don't think that you need injectors for that setup. quick hint, if your going turbo next year.... stop shootin!!!! your only making your engine weaker as time goes by.

thanks for the hint but im not going to throw in a turbo without building my block 1st anyway , i only asked if it was ok to throw in 550's because i have a good deal on them right now, i will still buy it but i wont put it in until i go turbo........

Nitrous is harder on an engine than a turbo is. Nitrous combusts much faster and raises cylinder pressures higher. Whenever possible people will give up nitrous for more boost.

true nitorus does combust faster then turbo, but nitorus is not used all the time, unlike turbo cars which the turbo is always there when u need it, but will wear down the motor faster i would think.

nitrous is not less safe then anything else if tuned correctly, I ran nitrous on my accord for 3 years and the motor still runs great
