I think you might be asking for trouble putting juice on a motor with cast (hypereutectic) pistons, especially one with pretty weak stock heads & cam, too. I'm not trying to discourage you at all, I just don't want you to blow an engine. There's a LOT more power to be had just getting a roller cam conversion, heads, intake, and some headers. In your case, an Edelbrock carburetor too. At least that's what I did for my '79 Capri.

Like Capri306 said, there are other alternatives other than N2O... If you want to become mechanically familiar with a performance car, pull the motor, and build the engine, the way you want it...

you have a few years to get it done (especially if your 13)....

Not knowing how responsible your father is, but i sure as heck would'nt let my rookie driver, 16 year old son, into a car with N2O.. asking for nothing but trouble!!!

If you want to build a good performance motor and advice or tech questions, this is the place!!!

good luck..

Some day (3:73 gears & N2O)!!!

will this ever end????
