Small shot of nitrous?
OK just wondering how safe a small shot of nitrous would be on my truck right now? I have stock heads and studs. Going to get get headwork as soon as I can get enough money. There is a pretty big dyno coming up and was wondering if i sprayed a small shot like 50 or so how much it will help or hurt ? Just throwing around the idea i just want to get 500 or more and dont think I will be able to without some laughing gas

Are you running some Source Automotive Twins, or some home brew?
If you have stock clutch, I don't think you can put down over 450 anyway. It will just slip unless you make 500 HP at like 3500 rpm.

Nitrous will add HP even if your truck isn't leaving a trail of smoke 10 miles long.
It's simply easier to make power on the bottle than with more boost.
If nothing else, the intercooling effect of a small shot will alone add a modest amount of HP, never mind the oxidizing effect.
I'd discourage advanced timing with ANY amount of nitrous.

Hohn, I've seen 3 trucks lacking in the fueling department never accomplish anything worth mentioning on Nitrous. Some Minor power gains , but if your shooting for power goals, i really dont think without fuel your doing much...Maybe 25..50 RWHP.. I may be wrong though! Just throwing out my theory

I agree that it's far more effective to add fuel.
But if you're at 485 or so and shooting for 500, even a tiny little shot should get you there--esp with a single charger.
