v6 nitrous power.
Anyone on here use that GM n02 kit that gives
about 50-75 more horses boost?
Just wondering what you thought of it, what
mods if any you did/needed to prepare for it.
Thanks!

I've seen it available at many places, this
is just one. www.nitrousexpress.com
It's just the standard GM kit,
I guess mainly for a fiero 2.8, but can be used in any application.
For about $500, it seems to me the cheapest way to get a quick 50-90hp. But like I asked before if anyone has used it, what did you think of it, & what mods, if any you did/needed to prepare for it.

Oh, hehe, I thought you meant that GM made a nitrous kit! 
Be aware that the NX kit is a "wet" system... you inject both fuel and nitrous into your throttle body. Some say it makes more power- but the fuel can "puddle" in your intake's plenum- our intakes were just designed to flow air. If your engine backfires- KaBoom! No more plenum!
The NOS nitrous kit is a "dry" system.. it only injects nitrous oxide into the throttle body. The kit makes your fuel injectors add extra fuel.
You might also want to add a fuel pressure gauge. There's no real "tuning" we could do with a fuel pressure gauge for nitrous, but it'd be a warning. If you start down the racetrack, hit the nitrous, and see your fuel pressure is way too low, you can shut the car off. Otherwise if fuel pressure drops and you stay on the nitrous, you can burn (melt through!) a piston. As long as you have enough fuel pressure, you're probably safe.
I think you also have to re-gap your plugs smaller... anyone know if this is true for our fuel injected engines?
