Hey guys. I would like to know if my current engine can handle a nitrous setup. Any advice on how much nitrous I may or may not be able to use on my current setup listed in my sig would be greatly appreciated.

And oh ya, what do you think I can do at the track w/ or w/ out nitrous? Thanks.

Thank you for the advice so far. I thought 150 would be applicable but wasn't sure. I just hope my motor can handle it.

pretty much any vehicle can take nitrous provided you have it tuned properly.

I'd say 150 rather safely. It would probably take a decent amount more, but I can't say how safe it would be with much more.

I hate to steal the thread, but really don't think this question is worthy of a new one... can nitrous be safely run on a completely stock setup ? Like a small shot, without having to upgrade the fuel pump etc ?

Sure. My buddy is spraying a 100 shot on a stock car, and you can spray more than that.
