This whole nitrous thing started because I was lazy and wanted some quick hp. I have a few friends that busted my b@lls so I did it. I built the lower end back in 2005. So from the sound of what you're saying I think I'll move back to the original mind set, N/A.

I don't remember what rings I installed. I do think they were molly though. Maybe sealed power?

So how are you with choosing cams. lol.

I guess I'll have to figure out what cam to go with and follow up with the right converter..

After this I guess i'll be getting A IA2 an doing it right.. But for now i'll go through learning with what I have in the car now.

Thanks for all your insight on this... Its very much appreciated..
My goal was'nt to scare you,my main point was to maybe advise you to not get too greedy w/o the proper parts in place,that's all.

It's just waaayyy too easy to throw some bigger jets in there and "let it eat",I was just triyng to help you avoid having it eat itself up,that's all.

As for cams,everyone has their favorites,would help us to see some of the flow numbers if @ all possible to give the best cam recommendations.

Cams are all about compromises.

There are a few things you can try w/the current cam to give an idea which direction to go:

Reduce (tighten) the lash,if it picks up slightly,that indicates it wants more cam.

Advance/retard the ICL,if advancing the ICL picks it up,that suggests it wants a smaller cam,and if it picks up via retarding the ICL,that suggests it wants a larger cam.

And playing with rocker ratios can also indicate such,and experimenting with different ratios on the intake and exhaust cam also help give an indication of what sorta I2E split the combo may favor as well.

But mind you,all that can be a lotta work and track time just to figure out what you may already know.

And I'm sure there something to be had with another converter,be it NA or nitrous.
