Last time i was in florida i pick up a performance mag cant remember which one though. there was a nitrous wright up "425 hp hit will it last" ? they purged the system below 3k which blew piston chunks? I believe it was last hit with a 325 or 350 shot. Im curious if the 425 hit would have worked out??? maybe a 500hit too???
You know I got a stock small block laying around.
I wounder?????

I will try home depot or something too. I do have the NOS 15lb bottle. Not sure how old though. It was from a 5177 kit so no older than 98-99 is my guess.

I think for anything below 700rwhp, nitrous is just too easy. Anything above, a turbo is your best bet.

So in sum your talking about $49,000.00 for a turbo motor. To be able to run with the pro mods. Obviously your not going to spend that kind of money on a street car.
Now we just sold our other car which was a n/a SBC single stage N2O 481 cu/in motor
we set two national records with this car.
1st it was the worlds quickest n/a SBC at the sum of 6.666 @ 211mph
2nd it was a street car licened and inspected and it ran those kind of numbers. ( It is a chassis car) but still a street car.
The motor cost appox. the same as the other but the fogger was only $1000.00.
Now the turbo car has gone 6.35 @ 227mph but it took us three years to get there. The nitrous car would have run those kind of numbers off the trailer 1st day out.
If I were to do it all over again I would put a nitrous set up back on the car.

Is it a NA Engine or a Nitrous Engine? Now we just sold our other car which was a n/a SBC single stage N2O 481 cu/in motor
Ditto, was this NA or Nitrous? NA does not = Nitrous Assisted! 1st it was the worlds quickest n/a SBC at the sum of 6.666 @ 211mph

i personally had very bad luck with CFN.. and when i asked for help they basically told me no.. so the solenoids have since become an ornament on a RC boat.. which then sank.. I will tell you though.. this was almost 2.5 yrs ago.. just the experience was really bad and i won't go back..

I went out last night, got in the water box...doing my burnout. I was just getting ready to shift into second and motor started to bog and died. I tried to restart it and all it does is click. She locked up on me..lol. I'm guessing something in the lowerend tried to save itself..lol. Funny thing though, it never knocked once.
This was an LS1 motor.
