The only good thing going on right now in FI is a 2 frount flame war.
You can do a lot with the 3800. It works well with nitrous.
You have to watch how you use it. One of the main reasons why people ruin there engines is to much nitrous and not enough fuel.
Wrong timing, fuel, spark plugs, and others can help mess up an engine.
Bouncing off the revv limiter dosen't help any.\'85 Z28, T-tops new LG4 and TH700<br />\'85 3.4L 5-speed<br />mods: <a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/oil_pan_4\" target=\"_blank\">http://www.cardomain.com/id/oil_pan_4</a> the nitrous exhaust O2 safety, pg 3. <br />Areo space materal engineer wantabe
