    A big hit of nitrous will need to be softened a little. Meaning the bigger the hit the harder it beats your engines internals. So , you want to use a progressive controller also so you can bring the big hit in "softly". Also with a big hit you get traction loss so its another plus to bring it in "softly". With a progressive controller you could have a mild running engine for the street and give it a good dose of nitrous on the track , if your internals are up to snuff.
    Friends dont let friends drive fords!

    well i think rdobbs is pulling my chain there will be no soft hit in any gear with what he has with out any need for Nos.... to add if its tune in right it could maybe take a 100/150 shot if he s running c16+ fuel but you would be pushing it abit.try it with out before you add the fast way to bust stuff

    that drag race blood in me from years past, and that is almost impossible
    to get rid of..Kinda like an alcoholic....I am sure though that I will sooner
    or later try the bottle
