The #1 thing to remember about Nitrous is that with extended use it will have long term negative effects on the engine. Whether or not that bothers you all depends on how long you plan to keep your car or whether or not replacing an engine is a problem for you.

Nitrous can give you an edge in drag racing (not as effective in other types of racing), but that advantage comes with a price. The question is can you afford it?

It's intended use is street.
Not bothered about long term effect's as I blew my warrantee 2 weeks after I got the car and started to add bits

Fully aware of benefits and drawback and money, hey, no pockets in shrouds are there??

I was looking for feedback from someone that has experience, prefrably on a MCS, of N2O. But thanks for your reply

Kurt, thank's for the ponters and tips and the fact my post had my looking for Nitrogen Dioxide

I was, however, aware NoS is a brand name owned by Holley.

Regards
