    Nitrous Supply in Huntington Beach, CA has all the information that anyone would ever need on this subject. The owner originally started N.O.S. and later sold his company to Holley so they have long term experience. They really know nitrous systems and helped us design a custom wet nitrous system of our drag VW engine and it works perfectly.

    your head gaskets is were you need to spend your money. every thing looks good .if you have the right fit up . is it set up for the right running clearence and did you smooth off all sharp parts of the top of the pistons and head chambers . if you try to get cheap you will hurt it in time, if you buy a Nos kit call them ask them what you need to and do it

    Your cam is not really the best choice for N2o.
    You should look at cams that favor the exhaust by 8 degree's for a starting point and are cut on 112 L/S.
    If you have good head gasket 175 shot is fine.
    Run it rich and take a couple degree's total timing out of it.
    You also may need to go a step colder on your spark plugs.
