water injection or nitrous to complement boost? i am looking to wring every bit of power out of my stock 6.0 longblock and it wouldn't kill me if it blows so here is my question.
should i go 12psi with good gas and water/alkey injction
or try some nitrous, not exactly sure of spacific combo but our something like 7psi and a 50shot or 9psi and a 35 shot. would use good gas with any combo.
any reasoning behind your oponion would be nice to have too.

Re: water injection or nitrous to complement boost? I say go with the Nitrous. I use it down low to substitue boost where its not plentiful. But I dont see why you couldnt use it all the way to redline if its a 50 shot or less. I'm already pushing more boost then I should on a stock motor so I cant take the chance of running N2O up to full boost even though I have done it a few times. ATI gave me a 12psi pulley with my 8psi kit so I still get 10psi at 6K with the headers. This has caused me to limit my rpms to 5800 until I get my new crank and SC pulleys installed.

Re: water injection or nitrous to complement boost? alchy injection of you are gonna do it. You get the cooling effect as well as the fuel... The SMC kit seems to be the one that the GN guys love
