Nice! why do some guys not like to go to NOS for the extra power boost?

because it's easy to get wrong and then you're looking at an expensive rebuild. ask kurt

Marc's quote
This is our 415 ci engine with an anonymous owner. It develops 673 crankshaft hp and 801 hp with the nitrous boost. I don't recommend nitrous boosting. We did this at the request of the owner. May run great for a while but may have a short fuse |

NOS if done right can be VERY safe, I have had cars that I have sprayed 100's of BOTTLES of NOS threw and never had a problem. I prefer forced induction only because the power is there all the time not only when the bottle is full. But NOS at least upfront is much cheaper, but after yrs of filling the bottle it can become more expensive. |
