There are a few Cars on juice around. It can be very safe if done well. If you push the envelope like some of us parts will be broken. Not maybe, they WILL be. Restraint is the key.

I give Robert alot of crap but that is just who we are He has the glory of having the biggest melt down. I pushed a head gasket out the back of the engine my self. One hole went lean and it was over. every plug was perfect save the one that was hurt.

Over all I have been known to put six bottles through my car in one weekend and would have pushed more if there was more racing

If any thing it is always a blast

I used to run a huge single stage and then a big two stage shot for years before going twin turbo. I never hurt anything on this motor. I hurt a lot of crap on weaker rotating assembly motors because of greediness (It's so easy to jet up!). I love nitrous for it's simplicity and bang for the buck. I switched to boost because it was getting expensive with the amount I was spraying and the closest place for me to fill up was a three hour round trip.

Like it was said, use restraint and it's a great product.

The best place that I've found is Action Auto Parts in Lynnwood. Last time I bought there it was 'only' $3.99 a pound.

Does anyone want to start a "Club" in the north end? It might mean some sort of annual dues and discounts for juice.

We also get it in Snohomish at Car Quest in front of Killer Paint for $4 a pound. Cory always has Three mother bottles on hand. Last time I was there we tapped a new one and I emptied it

Thanks for the kind words Ellis, lol. I did save a picture of your reusable plugs you spoke on.


Seriously, a few guys wanted to get together and see some new products in action, however, i just haven't had the time, soon though. i am trying to come back here a sponsor, but currently my new home base for the spray is at a small dedicated forum, nitrousforum.com I invite you all to come over and join up. it's not big like tech but it's really relaxed. I will give you a ride when my car pulls out of the garage, maybe this weekend. But I don't want to hear, OK that's enough let me out, lol. If you have any particular questions just ask away, myself or Ellis would be more than happy, along with others of course, to help if possible. Dry is a good choice on the EFI/LSx platform and can work very well. there are some new kits and products on the market that make dry easy for anyone with repeatable results day to day. Not as quirky as the old kits where/are.
