Default Question for Nitrous

I've been toying around just putting a 100-125 shot on my car instead of going FI since I really don't drive it much...~500 miles a year at most. Right now I'm just doing research since I don't know much about it.

My concern is when I did H/C I kissed one of the valves on one piston while rolling the motor over by hand due to a stupid mistake. The valve was replaced but It did leave slight indent on the piston which I cleaned up with a roloc disk to make sure there were no rough edges. I was talking to my friend who is a gear head and he said it may create a "hot-spot" if I spray it. Was just wondering if this would be an issue.

Thanks!!

I think you should be alright at that horsepower level. This is a stock piston right?

Yes.....stock piston. At what level do you think it may be an issue?

Yeah....it is very slight. After I cleaned up all the build up on the piston it was hard to see.

Yes!

On a side note, nitrous is fun, affordable and simple. It's there when you need it, and when you want to go fast, simple as that. I don't see that "nick" causing any issues for you, go have some fun and stay safe!

That nick will be fine, I did the same thing a few years ago while helping a friend install a cam. We live and learn.....
