Dr. Frankenbuick 10-03-2002, 02:09 PM No2 would not be a great idea with the cast stock pistons. I can attest to what detonation alone can do to one without any power adders. With the right build up a Nailhead can stand a good shot of No2, but you would have to build it with that in mind. ------------------ Steve B.

I'll have to check at Gartlits but i think TV Tom was running Nitro/gas blend. Maybe not. theoldguy 12-07-2002, 06:17 PM Ivo was running a blend,but he also had forged pistons.cast pistons and Nitrous is asking for trouble wdanielbern 12-10-2002, 02:04 PM yeah i knew that cast pistons and nitro dont mix but i heard that alot of the parts on the nailhead were forged |
