yeah the nitrous is already on the car might as well leave it.. i might use the spray it all depends on how bad it is in the lower RPM's i know it should be a monster up top though.. when is your car going to be finished???

my car has some work to go but i want to have it running next month by the 15th or before that....maybe a few days after that...but i have some major plans for it...i plan on pushing at least 300whp....but im sure i can hit 400 easily

i pretty much have a fully built engine....forged pistons and rods...as well as a head capable of 8.9k rpms
