Re: pistons?

100 shot should work fine for a while. I know a guy that runs a 75 hp shot and he drags the thing all the time with no problems. I would suggest keeping a 75hp shot as your max.

Re: pistons?

Why does NOS burn up your motor? It has almost the same effect as a turbo.

Both pump in more fuel. That is what makes additional horsepower. The NOS is just a high-oxygen rich gas, and the turbo pumps in compressed air which basically gets more oxygen in there. Then all the fuel can burn.

Seems like a 250hp L28 turbo would "burn up" just as fast as 100 shot of nos on a 150hp L28 n/a.
