LSJ + nitrous + TVS = ?
Hey guys...not sure where to post this thread but I need advice, and I drive a SS/SC so I think the best place to put it would be here.
I got myself a used Zex wet nitrous kit, with all I need it to be safe"r". Heater, pressure gauge and window switch. I also bought a used TVS with a 2.9" and a 3.1" I think from a member here this week.
Anyways, almost everyone in real life, including some mechanics tells me that I'll blow my engine. I was thinking of a 50 shot, although I also have the 35 and 75 options in my kit. So from experience, what do you guys think? It's my only daily car, just turned 21 yesterday and I wouldn't want to blow up my engine. Should I do it?

Only other person I have heard of blew their engine.
TVS can already push the stock engine pretty hard, it might survive for awhile, or it might go boom.

So if I do get a good tune...should be safe? I know its not good for an engine, but there is a difference between "engine wont see 300K" and "instant kaboom" lol

3.1 inch pulley and the 35 shot with a good tune would probably last for a while, but in that case you may as well drop to a 2.8 with no nitrous and have similar results. The 2.9 and 50 shot would be fun and with a good tune may be fairly reliable but I dont think you would want to push it much harder than that if you are concerned with it lasting. On dino fuel on the TVS with nitrous I cant imagine how little timing you will have to run.

iD JUST DROP THE PULLEY DOWN INSTEAD OF NITROUS. bECAUSE ON THE STOCK INTERNALLS AND THE TVS TOGETHER ON A LARGE PULL THE EGtS WILL GET TO HIGH AND START MELTING CRAP!!!
Sorry about the caps guys, i didnt notice it till i looked up! You can run the lower pulley with nitrous but it will not last long. Ecs if the car has some higher miles and is heavily beat on .....

I am tuning a few lsj guys on nitrous soon and i have done it multiple times. But your power curve will not be as good wwith the Nitrous. Id pulley down to say a 2.7 and a 50/50 meth mixture and throw a single pass at it! And order some pistons as well lol!! For the later on Build.. The guys im tuning on nitrous is fully built and is on a TVS, And we are gonna throw a 100 shot at it to see what we can do!!
