Default Nitrous ????

What should you all have done to your car before you run nitrous. I am thinking about running it and I am wondering what else I should have before I run it. I'm figuring headers, but do I for sure need them or will I be fine without them?

Bunch of people running on stock engines and exhaust, athough I just added headers, I had no problems on my Stock LS1 and stock exhaust while I was spraying.


It will be interesting to see how much the headers help the nitrous though .

Just make sure your fuel system can handle it and that's about it.

100 shot would be the biggest that I would be running. Thanks for the help.

yeah i think that you would be fine with a 100 shot. i would do full exhaust though to get the thing breathing good. other than that, SPRAY AWAY!!!

Look at the bottom of my sig, and exhaust is completly stock. It's starting to fall off in gains per jetting, but only really seen this at the 250rwhp level. But still haven't hit a wall with flowing the gas. It might make a little more hp for my hit size, but I figure a $5 jet is cheaper than $1000 headers.
