+1 I'VE LOOKED THROUGH HIS POSTS
BUT I DO SEE PEOPLE SPRAYING ON STOCK CAST PISTONS. UNLESS YOU'RE/I'M SPRAYING EVERYDAY A FEW TIMES A DAY I DONT SEE WHY THEY WOULDN'T HOLD UP
I DON'T BEAT MY CAR TO DEFF ANY OTHER MODS BESIDES BLOWER AND SPRAY?
IM SURE LIGHT TO LIGHT YOU WERE :burnout:
SOUNDS FUN. THANKS ON THE FUEL PUMP UPGRADE TIP :beer:FULL SETUP AND NOT CONNECTED?
I READ A LOT ABOUT ZEX WET KITS FOR ALL CARS AND HAVE GOOD REVIEWS.
I WONDER WHY DR RECOMMENDED A NOS BRAND KIT UNLESS THAT IS ZEX OF SOME SORT
...NOW I SEE I AM NOT ALONE IN THE "WANT TO SPRAY BUT UNEDUCATED AND PRECAUTIONARY MOVES ABOUT IT" KEEP THE GOOD INFO COMING FOR US WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM YOU ALL HELPFUL POSTS

i have had just nos on the car and still do on the current setup - it is for track use only - i would not run it on a car with a boat load of miles - you must have a tune for nos - Zex wet kit is what i run
if you want to see the setup come to the tower shos one night

So 131k is too many? And I will stop there when I'm back in town
I wouldn't worry about the high mileage, a few friends of mine have been spraying cars with over 200k on the clock.
However, I also wouldn't use nitrous unless it was for track use only. It's too unreliable for daily street use as the bottle always seems to be empty when you least expect it, or the bottle pressure isn't high enough to make good use of it. You also don't want to lift and get back into it if you lose traction, as you could easily hit the rev limiter or have a lean condition that could potentially blow up the motor; something more likely to happen on the street than a prepped track with sticky tires.
Just save up for a supercharger, the extra power will always be there without the payment plan of refilling the bottle.

on normal driving conditions the difference in MPG between n/a and F/I is insignificant as long as the car us properly tuned.

the problem is that with a supercharger, who is actually going to baby it for 90 miles a day? just like a loud exaust....you punch the pedal just to hear it

Can't argue that, but mileage didn't change much on my car after the Eaton swap, provided I keep my foot out of it....

I went from 21 1/2 stock to 22 1/2 with the Trilogy kit. Something even more weird, I picked up 23 1/2 after my aggressive tune! Go figure.
It takes a lot less fuel to get up to speed.

Eaton Swap + 4.10's = Wreeeeeeeeeedom!!
You just don't have to be into the throttle as long to get up to highway speed. When the 0-60 time drops from the 7sec to 4sec range you end up keeping your foot out of it for 3sec less every time you have to stop at a light. :burnout:
Every major mod takes a small hit on the fuel mileage, it's when you have them all that it adds up. I'm getting 14-19mpg now with: Trilogy, 4.10's, Headers, 9.5" 2800stall convertor, built trans, CAI, 8.5:1 compression forged motor. The convertor and compression drop seemed to have the biggest effect on mileage, with the blower at a close 3rd.

I shouldn't have sold mine.
Nitrous is great stuff.
I've blown up way more things over the years with forced induction than I did with nitrous. Its all about supporting hardware. Making sure you have the proper things. I had it on numerous vehicles and done install/tuning for quite a few. Its easy stuff.
Make sure you listen to the people that have actually ran nitrous and won races. Not the ones that have watched fast and the furious and call it NAWS.

I'm building my eaton parts list now though. Either way SC or Nitrous I have high miles. Any adder is going to stress it.
