Once you go to turbo hell the next step is turbo heaven.............
160 WHP @ 4PSI

im confused, but none the less you most likely wont need to cause it has a cooling effect on the intake charge

good topic, ive always wondered about NO2 in FI apps.
so if im boosting at say 8 lbs...... would it be safe to shoot a 50 shot dry into the car? i was thinking of doing it at WOT but maybe at the low rpm while the turbos still spooling and the power sucks. do you guys think this is safe either way on stock engine? let me knwo cus i was always under the impression that no2 can cause damage if you run it on a boosted engine because ther is so much pressure already in there.

Rep Power: 0 it won't be a problem as long as there is enough fuel... there were a couple members on the boards long time ago that ran 75 shot with turbo and it was running fine... this would only be used off the line to counteract turbo lag...
if you wanted to run nitrous with turbo running 8lbs in the middle of a 1/4 mile pass, the bottom end would definately need to be built...

and to answer your question... i personally wouldn't touch the cam timing at all if that's what you're refering to... i've seen a lot of weird things happen to cars when untrained tuners try and mess with it... a good example is when my friend with a 97' twin turbo supra took his car to a shop that "adjusted" his cam gears for him and ended up detuning the car to a 185rwhp.... he thought something was wrong when he raced a stock b16a crx and lost by 5 cars...
