boost? or spray?

RE: boost? or spray?
NOS has always been the cheap HP. It works. 75 to 150 shot.
Now we need a N* tech to chime in for any tips.
However before a tech will answer post the year miles, etc. of the motor.
Good luck.
Can never get enough HP for me.

Check out with this group about adding NOS to the Northstar - they might have some secrets...

How many main bearings does the northstar have? If you only have 3 mains like I do I would bet money you would brake a crankshaft unless it is forged, maybe. lol.
Because when I was flipping through the specs to find out how many gallons of coolent to refill (replace radiator) I had to laugh when I saw that it listed 3 main bearing on the 4.5 V8 with a iron crankshaft in my 90 deville.

Most modern V type engines have main bearing between every pair of connecting rods 5 main bearings V8, 4 main bears V6, L6 can have either 7 or 4 mains, L4 5 or 3 mains. Flat 4 (VW) 3. All Cadillac V8s have 5 main bearings. This includes 4.5L

Maybe they were'nt counting the two on the ends.
If you haven't done this already I would say go with the nitrous ( I don't think you can find much else for the N* anyway). If you use a 100hp wet shot you should be pretty safe and less likely to have knock which can be common with SC'ers. I've seen more engines blown with SC'ers and Turbo's than with nitrous.
If you need a kit let me know I can probably save you some money on a good quality kit.

I ran a 150 shot in my el camino after dropping in a zz4 crate motor. Ran the crap out of it, far as I know she is still runnin. Safe and cheap hp.
