any of you ever run a small nitrous oxide kit,say 100-125 hp,im wanting to try it,but i dont know the ins and outs,dos and donts.what would be my best bet for a entry level plus safe kit.one of the reasons im asking is the machine shop told me when i picked up my engine that it would be a good nitrous motor. im not asking for someone to talk me out of it,just the ins and outs

If you dont know how to to read the plugs and adjust your tune, it will get expensive real quick.

just make sure you have the dedicated fuel line to the nitrous and a good fuel pump. a 100 shot isn't as dangerous if you have the system installed correctly.
put a wide open throttle switch make sure bottle has pressure and let it rip. You would have to really screw up to blow up :D . You sound like a cautious guy you'll be fine..............Al

I am running a 125 Kit on my 70 Torino 351 C and I just added a 250 fogger kit on My Mark VIII . Buy a new Kit follow the instructions. Cheep insurance is a Hobbs switch added to your fuel line so NOS won't work if low fuel pressure. Places like Summit or Jegs can set you up with a switch. Just don't get greedy because power is addicting and stock motors have limits.
