I've had nitrous on my car for about 24 months. I've been running a 100/125 dry shot with all the recommended safety devices. I've probably run 15/20 bottles through the car in the 10,000 miles it's been on there. Since i've owned it, my car's a weekend cruise that's been to the track twice and mostly gets just tooling around town street time.

Today, I had the heads off my car for a heads/cam swap, and I noticed on about 3 of the cylinders on the drivers side, there were still honing marks.

58K on the block/car:

I know you probably can't see much that's useful from those pics, but the amount of wear on those cylinder walls was just about NIL. No "top of piston" ridge, nothing. I looked them and felt them over pretty good, and needless to say, I'm happy as hell

Just wanted to share guys.

Man i pulled mine completely apart for a rebuild after dropping a valve, and with a 110,000 miles on it there was no ridge and it still has the cross hatching in the block i was amazed i love these engines. this makes me a firm believer in mobil one oil.

good luck with your car

You gotta love that n2o. Up the intake or up the nose.

 

Guess I'll put pics of my stock bottom when I swap her out, 36,000+ miles, 600+ nitrous passes (in 1st 12 months of ownership, thats a lot of bottles ) and countless "street testing" of systems. Only safety device used is a WOT switch and arming switch.

What H/C are you going with?

 

Some old 99 casting FFHP Ported/Polished heads i'm really taking a chance on, but I got them fairly cheap. I had them benchflowed and they flow very simlilar to stock LS6 heads.

Cam is G5x3

I'm hoping to put down 390 RWHP N/A and spray a 100 dry shot on top of that heads running with Mods in sig +

LS6 intake, QTP LT headers, Ported TB, True duals, SVO 36# injectors + alot of tuning by the best local tuner I could find.

Jury is still out. We'll see what happens.
