I have a 1987 corvette. it has roller rockers, valves, springs, chrome moly pushrods custom ground cam, ceramic coated headers, ported aluminum heads, k&n filter, TPI runners, 58 mm throttle body, borla full stainless exhaust... the reason i told you all that, is because i want more. and naturally i didn't want to spend an arm and a leg... so what else could I do and preferably the cheapest option would be best. thanks:thumpup:

Cheap + big power = nitrous.
To pre-empt anyone that says: "oh, nitrous is bad, it will blow your engine", for the hp levels it delivers, nitrous provides the least wear on a motor if properly tuned <-- that is the key caveat. A small block chevy can run a 150 shot all day long if there is no detonation. Quote:

It will cost you about $1000 to do it properly. You could get away with a basic kit for less, but what you want is a system to ensure that you minimize the chances of leaning out and causing detonation. I would go with a wet kit, bottle warmer, colder spark plugs, window switch, ignition box to retard timing while on the spray.
Im not sure how much shops charge for installation, but I learned how to do it myself this spring. Really, there isnt much involved to it at all. Once you understand the theory behind the wiring, its very simple. I can email you some wiring diagrams if you like. It took me about a day to install the actual components, and another two days to do all of the wiring. You can see some pictures on my car domain website. Quote:

I prefer wet kits. Wet kits are criticized because ppl claim that fuel is not distributed evenly in the manifold. I check all of my plugs after tuning and havent found this to be the case. I find that wet kits give you better tuning options and I didnt want to upgrade injectors, which would be necessary if you went with a dry kit and wanted to spray above 100 hp. However, I did upgrade my fuel pump to a racetronix unit which will support up to 550 hp or so.
Whether you will need a rear end is dependent on a few different things: 1) how you aggressively you launch your car 2) what kind of tires/clutch you are running If you are using drag radials with a strong clutch and spray out of the hole, you will probably snap the rear end. Im still on the stock 7.5" rear end. Quote:
