hmm

i think you would be testing the waters.i dont have a definite answer.i think the zz4 engine doesnt rev that high(5500 ish if my memory serves me correct).so your looking at high cylinder pressures.your going to need some high octane fuel.i remember reading an old hot rod mag article on nitrous.they had a beater duster i think,so anyway the article was about how much nitrous the car would take before it blew.they got the car up to about a 250 shot i think and one of the piston totally blew to pieces.so who knows u might just blow a headgasket or nothing happens.
