    Watch out for those turbocharged D-series. Theyre torque monsters. And the K-series surprise alot of muscle cars.

    You`d be suprised to see these 1.5/1.6 make 350lb on a mild build. When i start my build on one ill post it on here.

    Sounds like you need to do alot of tuning with the bottle,on .30 with a 150 is not good,my budddy went from a 13.30 to a 10.40 on a 175 shot

    I havent been around cars that run juice that much but I would have to see that to believe it, is that typical ? I have one friend that used it for one season and dont know how big a shot he was using but only dropped him a little over a second

    my friend had a 93 chp mustang 302 E303 cam edelbrock intake bigger injections and a bunch more

    he ran 14.1's without it but with it probably 13.8 ? not that big of a hp gain // he didn't make it to the track with nos

    any way he put a 100 shot on it and only noticed about 20 to 30 HP it was stupid ! and he didn't do anything to it including not droping the timing lol so after about 3 months and 2 or 3 bottles he fried his rings then swaped the motor put his super charger back on it and it was way faster / then he sold it :(

    I was thinking the same thing about the nitrous. You should pick up at least a second

    nitrous loves a poorly built motor or a stock motor. basicly if you dont have alot of valve overlap it will run really well. if you have valve over lap alot of the nitrous goes right out the exhast. a well built n/a motor wont respond too well to nitrous. a motor with a cam for a blower will love nitrous. i personaly have found fords f303 cam loves nitrous. the trickflow stage 2 cam not very good with nitrous.
