LT1-Nitrous or not? Hey, I have a 94 Z28. Built tranny, 3.23 gears, 3000 stall, ram air intake(with 97 SS hood), descreen maf, airfoil, borla exhaust. I soon plan to do SFC's and LCA's. Car has 164,000 miles on stock motor. Is nitrous a bad idea? Maybe 75 or 100 shot with a tune? I've heard most people say do a wet system with WOT switch...please offer your opinion!
Thanks,
Andy G.

Been spraying my car for the past 6,000 miles. It has over 100K on it and that thing LOVES the juice. My car actually started running better and getting better MPG after I started spraying it. Some say its because that nitrous actually burned all the carbon build up on my pistons. I don't know how tru that is though.
I say spray it and don't look back. Just make sure you do it right.

I got 150,000 thousand miles on my car. It runs strong NA, so i sprayed it. I am on my seventh bottle in about 3-4 thousand miles of having it all hooked up on the car. I started with a 75 shot for about a bottle then went with a 100 shot for 5 bottles and the last bottle i was spraying a 150. That bottle was only good for 3 runs. I need a bigger bottle then a 10lb. Now that i am backing in NY and nitrous is $5-$6 insted of $2.50 in Orlando i am definitely going to slow down on how much i use it. Plus every one up her gravity fills the bottles and i hate that.I do have all the accessories and safety equipment. Any questions just ask.

Is there a bunch of truth to these?
"spray it the older the motor the better it acts with spray"
"Some say its because that nitrous actually burned all the carbon build up on my pistons"
Thanks for the help

I wouldn't say that. It might run better after spray due to that (mine idles soo much better right after i spray) but if something is on its way out or the motor is in bad mechanical condition the nitrous is going to expose it. The amount of cylinder pressure that is generated with nitrous can destroy a lot of things. I'm all for nitrous but you better realize what it does don't go thinking it like a engine restorer. LOL
