Nitrous Oxide w/o headwork??

Can a guy get away with running stock HX 35 gated at 34 psi, Juice/ Att, Edge Jammer 5's, and 40 HP shot of Nitrous to clear up the haze with a stock head gasket?

Just wondering if anyone else out there is running a "turbo in a bottle" with stock head gasket and bolts?

Ummmm,seriously dude, if you can't run water meth without head work you sure can't run nitrous without head work!

Yeah. Nitrous will raise cylinder pressure just as much as water/meth and will do the same amount of damage to a headgasket. There's a reason people upgrade turbos and headgaskets before doing nitrous.

nitrous will raise cylinder pressures, but a 40 shot is realy only like adding about 4psi of boost... probably won't hurt anything w/ that small of a shot.

methanol adds a lot of timing, that's why it's so hard on head gaskets

Good luck getting an HX35 to wastegate enough to run nitrous!

Drive pressure will be the HG killer on a setup like that!
