i want to run nitrous on my 7m. i have no clue if this is smart, so before i go blowing a perfectly new and good engine i figure i should ask for some advice. my engine is as follows: wiseco pistons, stock rods, fully balanced and blueprinted crank, shot piened block, stock valves, stock cams, ARP everything(head, main, rod). i might have missed a few other tid bits of info on my engine and will update later but i think thats it. so wat would be the safest way to run nitrous. i know its never safe, but wat precautions should i follow? how much would be safe with my engine? should i use wet or dry? fogger or or intercooler? any info would be greatly appreciated.

hmm...what kind of headgasket do u have???
i would go for a wet system.. so u can add additional fuel while spraying nitrous. i think you would be safe with a 75 shot.. you should probally get a pyrometer or EGT and keep an eye on the exhaust gas temps. also maybe a wideband so you can monitor AFR's more closely.

Nitrous IS safe if you use a wet system and you get a good kit that includes all the failsafes and install it correctly.
Cheap kits, and especially the dry kits are dangerous...

i have a cometic metal head gasket if i remember correctly. what kit should i run and wat fail safes should i have?
100 shot should be no prob. Use the full throttle switch and if you are pretty savvie use a boost sensor(not sure what its called) but if boost falls out under a set perameter (for instance a coupler craps out or you blow a pipe off) it will cut the nitrous. Be smart, dont spray below 3 grand and use a colder plug and you should be fine. When tuning, start with the rich jets and work you way down. Be smart and you will love the benefits.
from what i remember (correct me if im wront) some of the nos companies have smartened up the nitrous delivery. where they are computer controlled to apply nos at a gradual rate. so it will introduce a little and work its way up to the full 75, or 100 hp shot over the course of a few hundred HP. this will reduce the spike in the combustion chamber pressure and will LOWER the risk of nitrous. youll still have to worry about running lean.
