Pros and Cons
I am very ignorant when it comes to Nitrous....How much HP can the Z stock engine take if Nitrous is installed? very Skeptical
Check this out....WOW!!!!

What is nitrous backfire?
A. Nitrous backfires can be caused by two situations. 1. A nitrous system that is too rich or a system that atomizes the fuel poorly, thus causing pooling or puddling of fuel in the intake manifold. 2. A system that is operated too lean.
From http://www.go-fast.org/z28/new_to_nitrous.html
At low RPM, think about what's going on: you're spraying nitrous into the intake at a constant flow. That is, the nitrous bottle and solenoids have no idea what RPM you're at, and they're just pushing it into the intake at a constant volume. Inside the engine, though, the nitrous and fuel combination is being sucked into the cylinders during every stroke. The net result is that at low RPM, you're getting far more of the mixture into the cylinders. At 3000 RPM, for example, you're getting twice the amount as at 6000 RPM. So, you can imagine that running nitrous at, say 1000 RPM, is far more stressful on the motor as at 3000 RPM, and typically causes a "nitrous backfire" - meaning that the nitrous/fuel combination can explode in the intake manifold (rather than the cylinders) - a bad thing. So that's why you don't want the system triggered at low RPM.
To prevent lean conditions:

I plan on getting it. I have read over at ls1tech that it has saved many engines. And to prevent puddling, just spray at a minimum 3000, I spray at 3500 just to be safe.
