you have 2 options

1) start learning about this stuff

2) pay thru the *** to have a shop do the work for you

basic rules:

NOS will blow your **** up quick
there is no replacement for displacement, but a turbo is more power for less $$$
you gotta pay to go fast

NOS will not blow your **** up. Poor tuning will.

True on both counts. I've run nitrous on several motors with no problems whatsoever. It's pretty hard to mess up, although I'd bet the original poster could hose it up.

lol to 'blow stuff up' comment..

My Nitrous Express 75shot is equivalent to the Greddy GSR td05 kit running at 0.4-0.5 (6.1-7.1psi).. right now I am borrowing the turbo kit, but I will be back to my nitrous kit before the end of the month.. $800 (plus $35 bucks every 10 runs) vs $2600 (no hidden costs).. Ones like a payment plan, the other's an outright buy-in..

Why not get an NX kit...people think NOS is the only company that makes nitrous kits.

Just to clear some things up, a lot of people think that nitrous oxide is bad for the motor and blows it up. As long as you take the proper precautions (just like boost) you'll be fine. 9 times out of 10 it is the DRIVER's fault for blowing up the motor, i.e. spraying when they are not supposed to, hitting the fuel cut off which = lean, etc. I would suggest getting a MSD window switch, fuel pressure safety switch, larger fuel pump, etc. You can never be too safe.

sorry folks i was taking an educated guess as to this guy's intelligence level. based on his lack of knowledge (which will hopefully change) if you handed him a NO2 kit, I would be a fair amount of cash he would melt something.

I completely agree with you guys about proper precautions with NO2, boost, etc.
