SS/TC running juice

What does anyone thinks about running a small 50 shot of nos to the SS/TC? Do you think it will hurt anything?? I wanted to do this to spool my turbo up faster. What do you think?

Is the stock dinky turbo too laggy? It starts spooling before 2000rpm.
I say no unless you have some kind of ecm software like hptuners.

No i mean the actual software that allows you tinker with the ecm your self, normally its not for beginners so either have someone who knows what they're doing tune your car or dont bother going this route.

It really wouldn't help spool the turbo any faster, just get a good tune and you wont be dis appointed I almost went this route but changed my mind I even had the kit purchased and in my posession. You have to have the kit installed the correct way, a really good tune, no chance of bad gas, and use in moderation. You can get the same results from a tune and it is allot safer if you get a good one.

Which you wont.. Too much fun not to flip the switch. Get ready to fill your bottle often. Keep in mind..Your local speed shop will become ur "crack" dealer. And they will love you for it.

What really made you change your mind about throwing a 50 shot on there?

What plans or projects you have for your car now? I just rape this rx-8 last night and he had some mods done to his car......we didnt start from a dig, we did a 50 mph roll and after I snatched 4th gear, it was over......I didnt need to get in my gas saving gear(5th)

How do you have your car tuned? What mods have you done to your car?

Were you just blindly spraying into the motor or using hptuners to correct any mistakes in fueling/timing?

You can add external 5v sensors to log extra data.
