yeah... NOS will get you there... but if you want it done right- you need to build it and go forced induction!

 

[mntbiker2008]

ok... now will it work if my truck is completely stock? i havnt upgaded any performance parts on it at all...

 

[Racer_X]

how many miles you got? check your compression if you got ~180 on all cylinders... then go with a direct port 75 shot wet kit... you'll love it!

i have 97k on it...

makes no difference go to your l;ocal parts house and pick up a compression gauge for cylinder compression.. check it according to the instructions and if uyou have over or around 180 in all 4 and not more than 20-30 off from any other cylinder then go for it:waytogo:

 

[mntbiker2008]

alright... ill give it a try! thanks alot!

Go faster for cheap? Take of the tailgate, hell, take off the whole bed, passenger seat, glovebox...take off anything that doesn't involve turning the rear wheels...

Other than that, you're going to have to part with some cashish.

deckplate/eblow mod might apply, check it out in the tech section. not a whole lotta gain, but you'll probably notice a difference. also a muffler will give you a little bit too and you can have a shop put one on for around 150+/- for the whole shebang.

Yeah, you'll love it, until you'll run out of it....:lol: ...and find yourself, you got to re-fill the tank (I think in the long run...assuming someone does only the NOS upgrade, it's fairly pricey ! Honestly, go forced induction. It's expensive, but you won't shall out more $$$ after that. IF you'll build it right.
NOS costs you $400-500 (depending on the kit)...and fill up the tank $20-30 per re-fill. And you can EASILY go thru a full tank within a week, depending how much you squeeze... . So do your math.

Alex have actually owned nitrous? Do you just make things up... damn... nitrous hasn't costed 30 for a fill up in years... it's about 50 bucks a tank- and he could go through a tank in an hour, easily... fact is he asked for EASY- CHEAP POWER... you can only get that in the form of nitrous!

my n20 bottle has been empty for months lol. id rather buy a couple 12 packs of beer

 

[my95trokita]

Lol Tru..... I Go Threw One 10lb Bottle In About 2 Weeks And I Dont Even Juice Often Im Running A 75 Wet Shot Nx Kit..... Good Power Gains For A Cheap Price Just Like Racer-x Said.... But Im Getting Tired Of Spending Money On Filling The Tank So Im Going Forced Induction.... But The Point Is Nitrous Is Good Power For Little $$$$$

:bow: ....you get the $30 deal at Speed Merchant in San Jose after re-fill it thru them.

So this shop fills a standard 10lb bottle for 30, and everywhere else does it for around 50.00- how do they stay in business...

EDIT: now I just called them, and guess what! it's 43.29 OTD for an NOS fill up, for a standard 10lb bottle... if you have a 15lb that's run about 60 or so OTD...
