My old avenger ccould run a 100hp shot of nitrous ALL day long, so did wadd3456, so i KNOW ours can handle more than that

what a shame
what a shame to turbo a VQ... everyone knows you get more power. but its so useless unless you are drag racing. if you are dragging then just buy a old chevy. Z33s are road race cars. tune it right! TUNE IT NATURALLY!
if you do turbo you need serious tuning. pre-detonation is always going to be your gremlin. bending your valves and burning your seals. you absoloutely must retard your timing, and to me the only way to do that right is to get a piggy-back management system. or just get standalone management. RETARD IT

Anybody who says nitrous is dangerous or hard on the engine is totally HIGH!!
It's all safe if you setup correctly... I wouldn't go any less than a 75shot EVER.. you will hardly feel ANYTHING.. waste of 1000+ bucks... get 100shot.. It's nothing.. these motors love it!!.. Just imagine a nice fresh breath of ice cold laughing gas up you... It's great!
my IS300 laughs at 100HP shot..
heres my stealth pics...260.1 RWHP 275 RWTQ..

P.S.
Nitrous could get a little hard on your tranny if it slips on an auto.. I added a tranny cooler cuz I dont wanna take any chances... Now I eat porsche 911 carerra's for dinner and I can take new M3's too...(barely)
