Any shot over a 55 do not use the stock plugs,get some iridium or autolite nonresistor,so your exhaust temp won't skyrocket or the computer will pull timing and you will fall flat on your face.Take our advice if you won't a missle the engine loves nos.

Make sure your tps sensor is ok,I have always run mine at .55volts give the car a little more midrange,but yours should be ok at .45 volts,also clean your airflow meter element,get some good tranny fluid,this is just the small stuff that may slow your performance.good luck

new, stock 4eat for now... there will be new gearing or a 5 speed some day in the near future. I decided against the NOS, to much work and so I sold it and now I am just getting ready to do my exhaust...

Wow, didn't realize it was that much. Do you ever use the nitrous in your laguna blue, Earl? That one had it, right?

I personally won't be able to afford LAN's stage III for quite a while, but I don't think it would be worth the extra wear 'n tear to use nitrous before putting in forced induction... unless an engine rebuild was in the plan.

From the wear and tear point I used nos for years with just the basic maint.Turbos will be a lot more work to go faster than a good setup nos system,hell with a 100 shot zex dry my trap speed in the 1/8 was around 79-80mph but on the street when I WAS street racing with both stages between 125 or a 150 shot you are clocking around 84-86 mph easy,out of range of a lot cars, I KNOW but I THINK YOU MADE A WISE CHOICE,you can spend a ton of money being safe,bottle refills,plugs replace mine after every third full race,thats why I WAS USING plain autolite nonresistor.Good luck and I think you will do ok with your svx.
