Nitrous?
So i wanted to see if anyone has tried or has experience with nitrous. Can it be done on a 2015 v6? Safely? Or any other ideas on the best bang i can get. Save your time if your are going to say a tune, that is already an option i have. Just trying to look at alot of different things I could do. Thanks.

Nitrous can be run safely. On the 3.7 though, nothing bigger than a 125 shot on the stock internals is the recommendation.
But you realize that nitrous is a track only thing? You can't go around with it armed all the time, it will wear out your solenoids having 900lbs+ of pressure against them. And filling the bottle regularly will cost you around $4 a pound (10 lb bottle is the most common). You also will need a tune update; the nitrous tune can be driven on daily, but it will be a compromise over a regular street tune since it is tuned for nitrous.

For a short burst, it's great. But higher operating costs and some risk from stuck solenoids providing nitrous and/or fuel when you DON'T want it is a trade off.
