    if ur car is an auto, u should probly get a torque converter, because there is a very high chance that u will mess up ur trani. correct me if im wrong, because im getting one too, and thats what iv been advice to do.

    I'm sorry bro, but you have no idea what you're talking aboutl, almost every automatic transmission except for the new one from AMG that is used on select mercedes has a torque converter, so you don't NEED one to run nitrous considering your tranny already has it. You can run nitrous on a stock motor, you just can't run nozzles for like a 100 or bigger shot. I played around with nitrous on my supra back when it was stock and I was able to run a 75 shot safely after a good tune, stock block, but you have to consider that I had a fairly low compression ratio since the car was turbocharged from the factory. The important part is, you can't just tap into your intake and run all the lines and go, you need to have it tuned or you will grenade your motor.

    yeah the problem with nitrous is that 90% of the crap floating around isn't correct, but people jump into it anyways and blow something up, sooner or later.

    God created turbo lag to give the v8's a brief moment of hope.
