NOS Questions

Is nitrous safe for your engine? I hear people say it is not yet I see lots of people who have it on basically stock cars. How much is too much? Is 50-75 hp a good safe number to start with? Thanks for the input.

From what I've read, you should be good up to a 125 shot on a stock motor.

ahhh, the old "is nitrous/NOS/naawwwz (pick your poison ) safe" question..
Let's see... 100 shot is a-ok on a stock motor, Providing:
you have adequate fuel and spark
your not burning oil
you refrain from hitting it at idle
so far as "safe" and "it kills motors"
It is just like any other power adder, sex, drugs or rock &roll,,,
it is just as safe as the "operator/loose nut behind the wheel"
I don't think you can find a single case of nitrous killing a motor, it is the operators fault or ignorance, or an equipment failure, or mis-application (can you say 250 shot on a cast piston 305?)

see sig for quote!!
