I think you misread me demon...

i said running a direct port dry kit relying on a secondary computer to monitor your nitrous injection and open the injectors longer is asking to blow it up... i would never rely on my injectors to support a 100 shot on demand... that's why i would always run a wet kit with that much of a shot....

THEN I SAID your comment about high compression....

1. It's much more dangerous... running high compression period is more dangerous... look at AirKnight's now blown engine which we suspect is due to high compression and low octanes.... boosting it or juicing it would just worsen the problem

2. It takes more care and patience to tune a high compression engine, especially on the juice or forced induction.

3. It would take an even higher octane rating to do it... are you gonna run a sperate fuel tank with 100+ octane fuel just for n2o?

4. Anything can be done... i don't deny that, however it is far more difficult, involved and well I don't want to risk an engine, when i can prolly run a higher shot and still get the same gains, and be safer...


and your comment about the engine blowing, so i suppose you also consider buckshot, bnoon and every other person who blew an engine an idiot? and for your information, i have now seen a handful of 2001 3.0L engines with ... can you beleive it... SNAPPED timing chains... i'm not alone in this bunch... seems a bad batch of chains made it to production, and i was an unlucky recipient....
