nitrous
100 shot tuned on hondata s 200

just wondering what u guys think about reliability and what i should expect for power, this will be daily driven un washington states 92 octane and will prolly run some form of race gas at the track

 

i predict youll make about another 100 horsepower lol.

not familiar with those pistons... forged?

if so it should hold well on a good tune. and i would keep the revs close to stock for the stock rods. i ran a 70 wet shot on stock block gsr till a plug tip blew and scratched the cyl wall. still drove for a long time but burnt oil bad

 

my apologies that was supposed to be rs machines p30 pistons. rs machines makes oem spec pistons that are a little bit stronger is the only difference i believe but like i said im on a budget
