Stand alone nitrous with boost I just traded my t56 for this kit, I never planned on putting nitrous back on the car since going turbo but took the deal because of the front mount tank and the ability to run c16. I really haven't seen to many people in this section run both, Black X is the only one that really comes to mind.
Here is what I am wondering about. The car has a 370 and a t76 with 3" dp. I have yet to even run the car at its full potential because boost issue. Would the the down pipe be large enough to handle the turbo at full tilt with lets say a 50-75 shot? It would be strictly for more power not to help spool the turbo. Here is how my exhaust runs.
If I did install it and used it as a track only type deal I could make a new dp that is larger and shorter. I can also just take the it all off from the bullet muffler back and run open pipe.
I had kicked around the idea of one day moving up to an 88mm, but now I am thinking that possible the n2o could fill the gap. It would be a lot cheap considering it was basically free. I just wanting to hear some thoughts and opinions. Would yall install it or should I just try to sell it and would the back pressure be way to high if I did use it, possibly damaging the turbo?

I am about 90% sure my issue is valvesprings as far as my boost issue goes. I agree about the 3", back pressure was my main concern. If I even did install it I wouldn't use it until I get full results out of the turbo. I'm just asking this now since I am doing a lot of work on the car (including cage install) this would be a good time to put it in if I were to use it.
