I love how people think that nitrous blows up engines. WOW!!!!!!

Obviouslly, you have never used the stuff.

Nitrous doesn't blow up engines, the dumbass user does.

You add nitrous onto an LS1 that has really high miles so you can just blow the motor up and or add nitrous to a motor that was built for nitrous. If you want nitrous you need to do that on another car. This car you have the keys to is a collectors. Its already got the low miles, and mainted like a cherry. I think the previous owner would be upset to find out in 1-2years that his car was blown up due to nitrous. The car is perfect how it sits. This is the type of car that you can take to a local car show and get respect because its just got the basic bolt ons and has very low miles. Congrats on the car. But not congrats on the new owner, the new owner should be one that says he wont add nitrous. Now if this was an LSx with 140,000 miles and you wanted to add nitrous i would be more than happy to say go for it. But basically your adding a bomb to a piece of art. Rather add a bomb to a piece of crap.
the car is low miles. Not to mention, he bought a toy not a collectors item. Nitrous is not a "time bomb". In fact, if used correctly it is one of the safest mods you can do (much safer than H/C IMO).


Aside from that garbage ^^^^^, SWEET RIDE BRO! I got mine with just over 17K, and it was cherry. Low mileage F-Bodies are like good women. You got to respect them and treat them right (i.e. premium gas, constant TLC (polish wax), synthetic oil), but they like their fun just like any other chick!!! Have Fun and ENJOY!

Very well said^

Thanks for all of the compliments.

I could agree on nitrous being safer than H/C because the H/C gains the power all of the time. Nitrous is only in short bursts.

My dad has a 67 camaro and that thing has lasted forever with nitrous.
It is also an early 80s kit by the way. The kits have to be better now. He also doesn't have any bottle heater, purge, or window switch. He has had the car since he was 15.

very true. nitrous is fine if used responsibly, kinda like alcohol

btw beautiful ride, its not every day you come by a f-body that clean, enjoy it, I know I enjoy mine (not nearly as nice/mint as yours, but a clean ls1 none the less)

This is the reason I got turned away by nitrous is when I saw this. I saw the car a week later sitting outside a shop the car was totaled. Roasted by nitrous.

Nitrous is the same as any power adder. Superchargers and turbos produce more strain on the engine as well. It is all relevant. It is just how you want the power to come on board. And the cost lol.
