Crate Motor + Nitrous
Well im in a delima. I want to build my own motor but i ran the prices and it would cost me about $2800 without my nitrous. Or i was thinking of buying one of the plain old crate motors from summit for $1600, re caming it and putting nitrous on it. I was woundering what kind of nitrous i can run through it and still be safe. I was hoping for a 100 or a 125 shot. I wont be running the nitrous through it everyday and this motor is going to be in my daily driver so it still has to be reliable.
Any suggestions.
O yea not to mention the crate motor does come with a waranty.

research the internals of the motor and that should give you an idea of how much juice you can get away with without disaster.
