Yes it's bolt on HP, but it shouldn't be the first step, or even the middle step, it shoud be the last in line in my book. I've just had a bad vibe about it from step 1, that's why I'll never run it unless it's the absolute last step in a track car.

I see exactly what your saying. This is my last step. After nitrous no more performance parts are going into my car at all. Ive maxed it out completely.

BTW, which engine componenets are damaged most by nitrous use. As it was said in this post earlier, I would lose longivityo f my motor. Which parts in particular?
