Nitrous Oxide - spray on a 70,000 mile motor???

ok, i have a 2001 ls1 t/a with 70,000 mile on the clock (i know, i know, lots of miles blah blah blah) but they are 70-75% highway miles, and the oil has been changed every 3000 or less miles since i bought it (13,000 when i got it). and i am gonna have a 231/237 cam in it by the end of january. i know i will be ok with the cam, but if i wanted to man up and get a kit, would i have to seriously be careful and not go over a 100 shot or lower? what do you guys recommend i do to keep my motor from giving out if i spray it, which wont be that often, only when i car starts pulling me will i use the n2o, so any help is appreciated. thanks.

I have 70k on my 2001 5.3 and spray 180-190 without a problem and just got my best ET over the weekend. I say go for it.

:cheers:

do you have any internal engine work done? anyone else???

I have a 2001 Z06 cam, the rest of the engine is stock.

I spray on a 109K mile motor.....no problems.....yet :)

We just sprayed my brothers 99,000 mile trans am to a 11.4 pass this weekend with no problems. The car has X1 cam and a 120 shot of spray. We are at 5500 DA also which sucks.

i think you will be fine i put a 150 shot on a non ls1 motor with 12.5 to 1 compression
and runs great just make sure you have it tuned in

My TA has 77k miles and ill be sprayin it w/ an NX wet 100shot along with an F14 cam, bolt-ons, and stock internals except for ARP rod bolts....Go for it man!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kyle...Spray it. ;)

You'll be fine, if you want to be extra safe, just don't go over a 125. MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A WINDOW SWITCH!!!

dave, arent you on lvfbody's board, i dont think i have met you at any events before, what up bro, whatcha drive? see you around.

Kyle

edit: holy shit, does that P. stand for Parenti??? what up bro, how you been.

Yeah, that's me...I've been staying away from all the bs for a while...

Just working, saving money. Just bought a house, saving for a vette :)

Got a good serving job on the strip, so now my net is like 65-70k. I'll probably wind up going to Wynn Las Vegas, and that should be even better so I'll have a little extra cash to fuck around with.

Like I said, you'll be fine spraying it, just don't go crazy, run the right fuel, ask people like rob and davis a lot of questions, and make sure you have a window switch and you'll be fine.

Glad to see you're making friends in lvf, good people in there, but i usually have to work on sundays so i haven't been to a meeting in like 2 years.


Later,

Dave
