I dont see too many nitrous powered 3TC engines...

Post by Memphis3TC »

I've been doing a lot of reading on here and all over the internet and noticed that I rarely, if any, see a nitrous powered 3TC engine.... Why is that? Is it that these engines seem to reach a cap when nitrous is the only power adder or is it cheap enough to reliably turbocharge one?

I ran the same with the same 100 shot just with a ported head and a cam on stock internals if i had a built bottom i would go with 300 shot it is possible to run the numbers with NOS but less controllable like a Turbo motor and no one like to crap an engine after spend so much $$ on em!
