Default Turbo launch and then Nitrous.

I want to know what's the ups and downs of building my lq4 (370 forged) and being able to boost the car on the launch and bring in my fogger on the top end through a progressor? This is something I never hear anyone do? Whats wrong with having both the big power adders on board? Could it be? The cheapest 1000hp in SC.

most people use the nitrous to get off the line and get turbos spooling. plenty of people use both. FI motors love nitrous, and it doesnt take much nitrous to make big gains on FI.

I would leave on the kit then fade it down in the progressive.

Ok so leave on boost and bring in the fogger on the top end? I can understand that but another question that I have is if I make 750 to 800 on a front mount with an 88 on a 90 mm or so turbo do you think the block could handle the cylinder pressure of my progressing a 200 shot on top of that to hit the big 1000 hp? I understand lsx blocks have a 6 bolt design and the necessary dowels for the short block but would I push a head with that much power and cylinder pressure? I know I'm pushing the limits but hey we only live once and what could be cooler then a front mount and a fogger?

They are saying to spray out of the hole, then shut i down and run straight boost out the back end...

.

As mentioned, every story I've seen is about spraying off the line and either leaving it on,
or shutting it off as the turbo's start making the big power!!
I would definitely not bother bringing it in at the end when the thing is making max boost & load.
Especially on a gas engine, I personally would spray something small, like 100-200 the full pass.
Even though now a days more & more guys, including me are running alcohol, E-85
on boosted combo's and then you don't need all the crap like N2O or ice.
