Default RE: Nitrous

not to beat a dead horse about this saleen focus thing.....but i quote:

" The 75 horsepower nitrous kit will turn 150-bhp 2.0 liter Focus into a 225-bhp screamer, capable of running the quarter mile in 14 sec @ 96mph......."

and at over $26k suggested retail....[:'(]

In 2003 my stang was new for $24k......*shrug*

ok im done being way off topic....back to the real question.....

If used with the proper safety switches (WOT switch, window switch with first gear lockout etc etc) and basic knowledge of the stock shortblocks limits, nitrous shouldnt give you any problems....

doing ANYTHING to a car without knowing anything about it is a bad idea.....like people who buy lowering springs (or even better, people who cut the stockers) but dont get shocks/struts...then complain about the ride quality.....

by itself, basic nitrous kits arent expensive....that being said basic kits dont usually include the safety features, and without those you can very easily watch you stock plastic intake manifold go boom

anything and everything you do to your car should be researched for safety's sake....
