damaging effects of nitrous?
I have never laughed so hard after the last few posts.
I know a guy that sprayed a 175 dry shot before he maf on his completely stock 98 Camaro. I believe it was running high 10s. It had close to 200000 miles and then it finally let go due to a cracked 7 piston. The bearings still looked brand new.

my bottom end is all forged with rings gapped for nitrous. im going to be adding a nitrous outlet plate system and i keep hearing it will tear up my motor even if i dont have catostrophic failure. any truth to this? im not gonna lie, im scared of nitrous. i know i shouldnt be but i wanna learn all i can before actually using it
I want NOS but I be scerd too. I saw this movie where these 2 homie's ended up on the wrong side of town and some aisian gangsters jacked them and shot up their eclise with NOS and the car blew up yo. Last thing I want is my camaro blowing up if gangsters roll up on me with automatic weapons...
OP don't worry you can spray no problem. Like previously stated just have a good tune, and drive like you've got some since. Don't spray above 4th gear, under 3,000 rpms, pull the appropriate timing, get the right plugs, and stay away from that limiter.
Read the sticky and search ls1tech and you'll fine lots of nitrous stories with do's and don'ts.
Turn the bottle off when aren't spraying the nitrous, don't leave the bottle in the car on a hot day, and it wouldn't hurt to get a purge, window switch, and some other goodies. just some quick ideas off the top of my head

ok so i am a noob to nitrous... what exctly do u mean by getting a proper tune for nitrous. Does that mean going to a professional tuner and having a full map, or just a stand-alone or piggyback system installed? I am looking at possibly spraying my ls1, and i am trying to learn as much as possible before i make the jump.
they mean dyno tunning.
im not too much worried about the nitrous itself as much as other parts of the motor failing. like a few weeks ago, i bent a bunch of pushrods at wot and it started missing real bad. or what if my opti decides to start scattering spark? **** like that
