Default finally got talked into it...

After forever of not wanting to go the nitrous route...i got talked into it...the only things that are left are filling the bottle and tuning... nothing too big, just 100 shot... 3800-5800 should be safe enough...the bad part is that my rearend wont hold up at the track...i havent even seen what it does before the bottle...and now i have to wait until after i get atleast a 12 bolt...

I'm getting into nitrous the same way. I was always dead set against it but then my friend talked me into it and I saw a kit for 600 which i thought was a good deal. Then I came across HSW's christmas special and got a kit for half that

Nitrous is a addicting drug...I can't seem to be without it...Funny my car doesn't run well without it either. Good Luck and keep it safe.

I was really skeptical 8 years ago, when I was going to first try it. But when my Stang went from a 8.40 in the 1/8 th to a 7.35 from a 150 shot I was hooked. Haven't had a car without it since!
