Default Perry,

Your right about the Nitrous. The only reason I'm thinking about it is that the Stage II Buick V6 that I'm running is VERY strong. When it ran at Indy for Menard they were only 188 cubic inches and put out 900 HP. I talked to the chief engineer at Buick about these motors and he told me that the original motors (not all mains were cross bolted) would start to fail in the mid 1100 HP range. That was why they detuned them (lowered boost pressure) for Indy so they could go the 500 miles. I agree with you that a mid to high 10 second normally aspirated motor is more impressive than a 10.0 NOS motor. I would only "play" with the NOS to see if it would go into the 9's and then take it back off (maybe

Just a thought and I appreciate the input,

Regards,
