Years ago, before the technology was refined with nitrous systems theycould be somewhat unsafe. Today's systems work very well, and our cars respond to nitrousreally well. I rana 125 shotfor about 8 months before I supercharged my 2007. Nitrous is very stable in it's normal state, it cannot explode unless the bottle exceeds temperatures of over 570 degrees.N20 is 2 parts nitrogen and 1 part oxygen. It is completely safe until it reaches the high temperatures inside the combustion chamber. At approximately 570 degrees the nitrogen molecules release their hold on the oxygen molecules making the oxygen available for combustion.As long as there is enough fuel available to match the higher oxygen levels, proper combustion will take place. Knowing this, and knowing that these are the main issues, then it is not all that hard to make nitrous work properly. It's not as scary as some would lead you to believe. A good nitrous system works very well, I know this, cause I had one. There are however some non safety issues. First, I hated having to get my bottle filled all the time. At $50 a bottle it addsup fast. Secondly, when you spray nitrous it's either all on or all off. There is no middle ground, when it hits the motor, all the power is released. So, you never want to spray unless you are pointing straight. If you spray in a turn, you risk going into a complete uncontrolled power slide and it could be disasterous. Anyway, A complete system installed for a $1000, sounds like too good of a good deal, I would be interested to know exactly what you get for that price.

I think that one of the problems with N2O overFI is that you can damage the motor if you don't spray at the right time. You really stress the motor if you spray too early and especially if the motor is bogging.
Maybe modern systems automatically avoid this, I don't know much about them, but otherwiseI can see nervous fingers damaging motors.

i would never do it...i love my car too much to put that **** in it.

I'll be putting a dry kit in soon. I trust the window switch.

Actually that's backwards. The correct formula is NO2. It's 66% O2 and 33+%N

If you are going to race it, you'd better determine which class you are going to race. i race in the street legal class which is nitrous prohibited. The track I run at doesn't nromally check for nitrous but they decided to do a spot check friday night. 10 people were told to either remove the bottle or run a pro class.

did you see that damn vette!!???


if that was my car I'd steal the damn water can from the morons standing around and put that shyt out!!

Really? Actually, you got it backwards! drbob.

Nobody recommends a dry system for the S197. You need a wet system or you will definately smoke your motor.
