is a high compression ratio bad for nitrous?

what about new cams? (do they effect n20 at all?)

**btw i have a 2.4 and am interested in putting new piston heads and cams in**

well you have to be more careful of detonation in a high compression engine but 10.4:1 is fine on the bottle.

think about all those high compression v8's out there on the juice

what gain can i see from a 50 shot of n20?

also, what is everything i'd need to ensure that my car would work properly on n20, what would the pricing be? (i am a n20 nub)

well from a 50 shot a 50hp gain is an estimate, although you'd never know for sure unless you hopped on a dyno.

i would suggest maybe running through a nitrous sticky on another forum if you're on one and look at all you're going to need to run it safely.

basically you want a wet kit, 2x colder plugs, msd window switch, bottle heater, purge.
