    My first nitrous experience was a sensible 75 horse spray bar, the second was a direct port with a 2 stage controller. It cost me a $1200 Lunati crank, $1000 Carillo rods, $800 Mahle pistons, a well aerated block, 3 piece camshaft, and a lot of broken bits and pieces that were once a valve train.
