    What pistons to get for nos?

    I want to get a nitrious kit don't know what one though. (NOS, Venom, ZEX, NX) I want to get better internals so I don't f**k anything up. Any suggestions on which ones I can or should get? I am getting a wild tri-flo cam soon. So what else would I need to get nitrious ready? When I buy a new car my 3G is going to be strictly for race. It's going to look just like A20A1's car. Stripped to metal. Thanks for your help guys.

    You'll have to run a seach on and off the board.

    Post compression

    My friend puts NOS systems in all kinds of cars, and tells me that lower compression is a lot better. He told me to bottle up my 3g because of the 8 4 1 compression, that I'd get a lot out of it. He's installed it on cars with 11:1 and whatnot all the way down the line (on older, low-compression v8's and stuff, as well as newer cars).

    He tells me that you get more out of the juice with lower compression, because its optimal combustion compression (with air) is much lower than what cars can run (such as 11:1). Just a thought, that if he's right, to not get too much compression running in there.... if you were going to get high comp. pistons that is.

    ..true.. at least to my knowledge. ...but unless you're running a perfect a/f mixture, any substancial shot, or frequent shots, and you'll fry your rings. Make sure you're working with a fresh (very sealed) headgasket as well, otherwise, you'll have an oily mess all over the place.

    Yeah, I guess I'm in an ordeal with my girlfriend now. She doesn't want me to get nitrious. She said, "If you get nitrious then i'm going to start talking with other guys and shit." I guess she means flirting. I asked if she was going to dump me if I got it. She said no. I said like a fool, "then it's settled I'm getting it." I guess I don't know when to keep things to myself.

    Not really b/c I'm learning as I go too. I don't know crap about nitrious. That's why you have to ask and make threads like this to prepare you for when you buy the stuff.
