Just a few pictures of my nitrous installation so far, if anybody is interested. The installation is going unbelievablly smooth.

hope you don't have an auto or you better be easy on launches

i wouldn't go more than the 100 shot as these motors are built that strong. ie forged pistons

A friend of my brothers is trying to get me to do the NOS install too. It sounds very tempting, but I think ill just stick to my plan for gears .

Gears are good for low end. Nos covers the whole spectrum, ESPECIALLY the mid torque and top end!!!!!!! Of course there are pros and cons to everything, and everybody has there own opinion. Do what's right for you, and not what people tell you to do, always works out the best in the end.

Then, I have pictures of broken rear gears and saw all the hairline cracks in the T-10 gears, so driveline issues also surface at some point. The cracks resulted with very little L83 modification: headers and a cam.

Changing from 3.07 to 3.73 gears was not great on my 'warmed' Crossfire. The launch was nicer but the show was over way too quickly with the crappy torque curve.
