Don't mind the wise cracks, as we like to have a little fun somtimes. Read the link that Beer supplied, then you'll be able to start to fine tune your questions and be a little more specific. Nitrous will not hurt your motor when set up correctly. Here's another link for insight.

Common sense goes a long ways with nitrous.

The ones that have problems with it are the ones who don't know what they're doing (90% of the time). Do a little research and you'll be set to go with a little juice on the motor.

Are you just sticking with the nitrous or are you gonna add more N/A power.Myself Im cammed and added heads (installed monday)and with just the cam I was 80% duty cycle so just decided to upgrade the injectors along with the fuel pump i just bought.Since i bought 42lb injectors going dry was a no brainer for me,if your comepletely stock you should be able to do a 75-100 dry shot on your injectors and not need to upgrade,plus its cheaper than a wet,if your stock.If you got hedders boltons or cam you might want to consider wet for the extra fuel and not worry so much about the injectors,but in either case I would rec.fuel pump upgrade.Learn the diff. between wet vs. dry and decide what is for you
