I have been wanting to go with a aurora 4000 and my stock turbo but It costs so damn much.. Nos is always an option though. With my set up I want to push the envelope a little more without destroying my motor. Should I wait and focus on twins or go ahead and NOS it up...
there is one video that will put you off of NOS, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCNZfUO0cLY
Basically he hit the wrong stage of Nitrous and completely destroyed his turbo, and his block too I believe

Nos isn't the way to go. There are way to many videos of fires and people blowing there engines up because they want 10secs of a extra 75hp.... So not worth the return.
running about a 100 shot of nitrous. If set up properly it can benefit your truck by lowering EGTS down considerably. If you just do a simple 100 shot set up with a hand activated trigger I dont see it being that big of a deal. One thing that I like about my bottle is I can turn it off and lower the HP of the truck for the street. What I dont like is filling the bottle up after every 3 passes. Money aside it would have been a turbo, but for $400 I ran a 12.4 so far in the quarter not to bad.
Nitrous is a safe and effective way to make extra power for the track when setup properly. Nitrous is not flammable or explosive, it won't blow up a diesel engine when used properly.
I have made hundreds and hundreds of nitrous passes without a single problem, with some of the passes adding in excess of 250 horsepower. Get some good advice and study how you want the system to be setup, you have a bunch of options. Start small and test small changes. Have fun doing it and enjoy the extra power.
Throw out any conception of a gasser system as shots are meaningless. Also, call it nitrous, not NOS as NOS is a brand name...
I ran nitrous .80 jet on my truck with propane and a ppe hot tune. Had no problems when I ran it briefly, just didn't continue because I really didn't want to blow up my engine LOL cause ppe didn't recommend stackn both with their tune. Now I have efilive but money is tight to keep refilln the bottle.
