running to much nos will cause a danger to your manifold and you might blow your motor. if you want alot of power you should run a supercharger and a turbocharger setup, ive heard those are good.

I was just hating a little, becuase its called nitrous and not NOS, thats jsut a company that makes a nitrous system. Also with a turbocharger you can make enough power that you do not need nitrous. Its generally only used in a turbo car when you need to spool a giant turbo if you are going for like 800 horsepower. And i was kidding about the supercharger and turbo thing, dont want you to go around and make a fool out of yourself.

With an auto you could boost getting out the hole better than a manual so that shouldn't be a concern. In my honest opinion I would say sell the Zex and use the money towards the turbo kit, its really not needed. It would be more of a bling factor than usefull.

N2O and Boost are perfectly fine at the same time. Be aware that you shouldn't cross the 380-390whp line without forged pistons.

N2O and boost are extrememly similar in how the work inside the cylinder, both are ways of adding air.

For your application I would have a Hobbs switch or a relay that see's boost, to turn off the N2O once you hit full boost. Perfect for drag racing.

We all know WD likes to inject anything into the motor other than gas. I was waiting for you to speak up.

Thanks for giving me something to think about. Sounds like a good way to help My Subaru off the line.

Amateurs don't use nitrous oxide. I've seen the way you drive. You've got a heavy foot. You'll blow yourself to pieces.
