I wouldn't do it, but it's your motor & $$.

what about a built gsr bottom with ctr pistons,etc. and fully done si head, it's built all motor, 75 should be no problem for this motor right.

depends on a lot of things like compression, fuel, piston rings...

I'm not a fan of nitrous unless it's used as a final upgrade to an already monster setup made to handle the stress that nitrous has on a motor.

CTR pistons are still OEM... and higher compression. If you want to run nitrous 'safely', get aftermarket pistons/rings made for nitrous, imo.

I've never really trusted nitrous systems on cars, especially stock motors.
The gain is just not worth the risk, in my opinion.

Compression and Leakdown test will tell you what condition your internals are in. You can make a judgement call after that.

As long as the user has common sense then nitrous is not an issue. i dont understand where everyone gets these bad ideas about nitrous.

It is by far the best bang for your $ that you can get.

I'm not arguing that at all, I'm just saying I don't trust it in my motor.

Maybe after getting some parts replaced, but it is not worth the wear you cause on the motor.
