It cools engine charge down which allows you to safely run more timing for more power but nos will will give more power

Nitrous is the way to go. I have a complete set up for sale. I don't have the (fuel) portion of the nitrous as I was going to run the dryshot with my GMS3. However, it would include a complete wire harness I fabbed from the trunk to the fire wall. Check out the link. PM me if interested. I may budge on the price a wee bit.

no ecotec has complete forged internals the rods are cast then hit in a forging press then the cap is sheared off the pistons are either utectic or hyperutectic

as for hp i think its possable to get into the 300 range i dont think nitrous is needed but cams will be needed
