Default NOS?

I have a 2001 Kenne Bell GT. Im running 9PSI right now but to go any higher i need to forge the internals which i cant really afford at the time. What do you think about a NOS? I just want to run a conservative shot nothing to big. What do you recommend?

no you have to realize that wou will be gaining lot more cause of the s/c that NX has a kit for f/i cars, basically to cool the air down that might be what you should be looking at

i'd stay away from snow. i had 2 safe injection boxes die on me and 1 pump. i eventually gave up and went with a 3 core. snow did replace everything and even offered to replace the second bad safe box, even though it was out of warranty. i just don't want to worry about it anymore.

that NX Ntercooler somebody was talking about still requires an intercooler.

Not to mention nitrous is around 4-5 dollars a pound. Buy the kit used and run co2 which is only like 1-2 dollars a pound. The gas temp is around -127F or something for n2o and -106F for co2

i saw an episode of pinks where they sprayed nitrous on the intercooler at the line i guess that is the same principal just ghettotastic.

Why are you set on the brand NOS? Zex and NX have some good kits as well.

From what it sounds like, you're looking for more power without forging the block. Nitrous isn't going to help that any. PSI doesn't hurt a motor, it's the power created from it. How much power are you making? I'm assuming around the 400rwhp mark if you need to forge the motor to go any higher. Adding nitrous will just add more power, just like upping the boost on the KB would.

I don't think he is, he is just using NOS to say nitrous and not the correct term N20.
