nitrous on turboed engine

hi,
I am building a 383 Lt4 stroker for my 95 camaro and i have a few questions. I am building it with callies dragonslayer crank,eagle h-beam rods with upgraded bolt kit, and JE turbo pistons, and a custom cam made for a turbo with small duration and large lobe seperation. What i was wondering is if it is ok for me to put nitrous on the motor for a while (about a 150 shot) until i save up for the big turbo. I just want a little added boost until i get my turbo. Oh yeah forgot to mention the heads, they are AFR 210cc with 76cc chamber. Any info that would be of any help would be greatly appreciated.

Sure, there is no problem with it at all. In fact, N2O AND a turbo are a great combo in that as soon as you hit the N2O the exhaust volume dramatically increases and the tubine spools. IOW, bye-bye to turbo lag.

Re: nitrous on turboed engine

so if I understand corectly, you just want to run nitrous until you get the turbo.. or do you want to run nitrous with the turbo as well? I'd say a 150 shot on your motor with no boost is fine.. and then once you get boost a 50-75 shot might help with lag, as rich said above

Re: nitrous on turboed engine

As I read it, you want to run the spray until you get the turbo. Only worry I would have is the turbo specific cam, if it has less ex duration you might have a little reversion problem on spray..
