With all this talk about 'NOS' and superchargers I thought I accidently logged onto a "Fast and the Furious" forum.
With all the money you would be putting into the nitrous, (NOS is a brand name) to set it up correctly and safely, you would have almost enough money to drop in a 350, if you are doing it yourself of course. Hmmm, if I had to choose between a stock motor running juice, or a 350 that had more power than the stock one w/ nitrous, obviously I would choose the 350. Trust me, once you hit that button the first time you will want to hit it alot. Also, even if you start with the smallest jet, you WILL want to put in a bigger one just to see what would happen. Another thing to keep in mind in that with a 350, the only thing you have to put in it is gas, you have to keep filling your bottle. At at around $35-40 a fill, you may want to keep your finger off that button.
Just a little suggestion, I have seen too many people bolt on nitrous and expect their motor to hold together. It will, but it is only a matter of time before something happens, and when it does, more than likely more things will be hurt or damaged than first thought-
-A little story to prove my point- A good friend of mine purchased a '94 Z28. This car came with a nitrous set-up in it already with a 125 horse jet in it. The kit was adjustable from 75-175. I told him not to run anything higher than the 125 because the stock motor cannot safely handle that much of a power hit w/out proper set-up. Well the time came that he decided to run the 175 shot at the track. His hole-shot was pretty good, shifted into 2nd and hit the button. After an earshattering metal on metal grinding sound his car was no longer moving. At first it was determined that he sheared the output shaft on the T-56 transmission. After much waiting for a new one of those he finally put it in only to discover that the transmission needed rebuilt and he had also shattered the rear-end as well. After those were replaced, there was a major vibration around 65 mph. The driveshaft was also twisted. Then, after all this we happened to notice that his rear axle was bent as well. Well, 4 grand later his car is moveable again and he has since taken out the nitrous system.
Moral of the story- leave the nitrous systems for Hollywood unless you know how to properly set it up and can run it safely. I have nothing against people running nitrous. If that is what you need to get where you are going fine. But there is an old saying that will remain true for some time-
THERE IS NO REPLACEMENT FOR DISPLACEMENT!!![addsig]
