i was considering nos but i dont feel like blowing up my car with me in it

The ODB

Annette Summers' car doesn't blow up. Why would yours?

maybe the ford will blow up trying to catch you.

hey ODB must be a blue bottle junkie. hehe but seriously jester if you play it conservitive with the NOS your motor can live a very long life. you don't use it that much so it does't put continuos stress on a motor like a supercharger does. so keep it at 100-125 hp and you should be fine. you can read the tech articles on this site to help you out. my 88 350 tpi iroc had a 175 hp kit by the previous owner and it rocked. till it bent a rod and cracked a piston, but that was after about 2 years of racing almost every weekend. oh yeah it went from 9.0s to 7.40s in the 1/8 mile. thats enough to spank a bunch of pusstangs.

yeah i know how ya feel. i don't want to chance my motor on nitrous either cause i can't afford to fix it if it pukes its guts on the road. if u wanna beat him with out nitrous(i'm assuming you have an automatic tranny) you need
1 headers and cat back exhaust
2 lower gears
3 better camshaft
4 higher stall converter
5 and if you want to get him without going through all that, get a supercharger!
