NOS

Is anyone running nos? Anyone know much about it? I am clueless when it comes to it. How bad does it **** up a motor. How hard is it to install I'm pretty mechanically incline- any info is appreciated.

not hard to install, run you around 600.00 for a basic kit then you'll prob want to add a purge system and a bottle warmer. as long as you dont go ape with it and run a 50-75 shot it shouldn't be an issue.

only thing you might want to do is call the company you plan on getting it from they might recommend a different spark plug.

if you plan on keeping the car forever.. do it.

it will KILL your resale value.. no one wants a car that has been sprayed..

its a fact.. people are just unsure how it was treated
