Im trying to decide what would be the best way to increase my car's performance. confused.gif Right now Im mainly leaning towards NOS and the 4A-GZE engine. I was wondering which of these would I get the most performance out of for the $ I'd pay for it. I also wanted to know if I would have to make any modifications on my car to install the engine. I have a 94 st w/ an auto tranny. Thanx. biggrin.gif

Even with a turbo or s/c you can still mess up your engine. If you go past the recommended settings for how your motor is built. Actually driving your car hard all the time can do it too. Nitrous isn't the culprit. It's how its used.


smartest thing said in this topic smile.gif

As for using nitrous.. well im for it in small doses - I personally plan on running a zex ( or venom if I can get the cash for it) system that will hook into my intercooler in a effort to charge the air even more, that way when it reaches my motor the NO2 is mixed a little better with the oxygen.

Most cars can handle a 75hp shot on stock internals as long as it is used properly and wisely... granted there is not 100% on anything

The best thing you can do when running NO2 is to check you spark plugs reguarly, they will be the 1st sign of problems with carbon build up inside your head.

Another cheaper alternative is to run propane instead of NO2... basically you set it up just like nitrous but it burns cleaner and is just as affective, I personally havent do this but have heard alot about it for years and know a few older hotrodders that do it with no probs.

another trick you can use at the track that will yeild you results (2 tenths or better) is to build a box or use a small refirigurator(sp?) and hook your NO2 bottle to it so it sprays into the box/refiriguator and place your filter in there and let it soak for a few mins before your run, my dad used to do this with one of his 67 firebirds and it worked great for him - made the difference between 11 and 10 sec 1/4's biggrin.gif

.. If you are considering things like a 100hp jump than I STRONGLY RECCOMEND you upgrade your BREAKS!! otherwise you'll end up like Paris hilton, wrapped around a pole!


That $h*t was funny biggrin.gif
