In the june issue of super chevy i asked for performance tips and i was answered with a few things one of them being NITROUS. They said a 100 shot would be perfect and i know exactly where to hide the bottle. I am going to start running my car down at irwindale and i wanted to find out if Nitrous would be a good/fun investment?

I run nitrous on my 02 Z28. It's a plate system, with a progressive controller so I dont spray through shifts. Currently I have it set up for a 200 shot. I can help you out, but I havent done a system with a carb yet. My guess is that you arent running EFI, so my knowledge can only go so far. Also best bang for my buck when it came to horse power. Here is an old pic of the system, since then the purge line has been ran to a different location.

Nitrous is quick horsepower but its not the cheapest because you have to keep filling the bottle and its easy to blow an engine with it unless you know what you are doing and are lucky to boot---everyone that uses it has had some unplanned things happen with it and there are many broken parts from people not building the engine to survive it----that being said, if you have the will power not to try just the next bigger jet its good, quick, easy horsepower............Dan

ya super chevy said that as long as i keep it a 100 shot i should be safe. i would plan on changing it because i want to keep that engine until my elky isnt a daily driver anyome
