So with the ZEX kit that only active at WOT would you still need the MSD-OWS or would the ZEX kit be all you need? My lil bro's friend is selling his kit off his GrandAm and I can pick it up for $300. Definately would help my 4ton HHR down the 1/4....

 

I would still recommend the window switch as well

 

What about the supercharger doesn't it put quite a lot of stress on it if your running nitrous?

 

this is a very informing thread. thanks to the the key guys for chiming in and hitting key points.

I am not a nitrous fan due to risk but every time i read an educated nitrous post i begin to want it more and more.

 

IMO dont use nitrous until you have internals built, not a good idea..... go with performance parts for the motor, dont use nitrous until your motor is built......be smart, about it......

 

You can run nitrous all day on a stock motor. Ive done, it SLowION has done it, and so has a ton of other people.

All built internals will do is allow you to run higher shots meaning higher power/torque. Detonation can still rip apart forged stuff if it happens, and melt pistons.

I agree with the performance aspect though, you should have basic breathing modifications done before you spray. Spraying nitrous on a stock exhaust isnt that great of an idea. Youll net more power on better breather parts.

I had a tutorial for nitrous on the 2.2(maybe 2.4) in the works, but i abandoned it a while back because I didnt see much interest. But I may finish it since ive seen a ton more nitrous threads pop up.

 

if you're smart about it you don't need to build anything up...

all it takes is a proper setup and you're on your way...same deal with any type of power adder.

you can add motor modifications and spend alot of money not going anywhere...or you can go turbo/supercharger/nitrous...1 of those 3 things are the only thing that will turn you into a quick car.
