Time for a good idea bad idea
So my car runs like ***......well, not that bad but it leaks about 4 liters of oil every 3 weeks, it has a small tick coming from it, and my header gaskets leak.... now heres a question
My NOS kit came with 100, 125, and 150 shot....but im buying a 50 shot....
do you think i could safely run the 50 shot without my engine taking a ****?
thanks

you will see more gains fixing what is wrong with it then you will by putting a 50 shot onto it. you won't get 50 HP fixing that stuff, but with it broken you won't get 50 HP out of your 50 shot ether.

You're in luck! I have a brand new in box set of header gaskets.
Straight across trade for the NOS kit?
If your headers leak, that's probably your ticking.
Leaking oil, probably won't be changed by using nitrous. I'm thinking like a valve cover gasket, more cylinder pressure won't effect that. Find your leak, if you can, and fix that.
Throw on the 100hp shot, you've got a bike to keep you moving (and much faster too!)
hmm, car running poorly eh? good time to race me then
(actually i've got to hurry and tweak my carb more, it's running more poorly then I first thought...)

Yeah, you have to fix that oil leak first. I know the pretty rainbows your car makes after a rain storm will be missed. But the tap water will taste much better and you won't see dead animals around your car from tasting the fluids.
The exhaust leak needs to be fixed so that the O2 sensor can be used to adjust the nitrous system after you install it.
