Isn't Nitrous just a power adder? I don't see how setting a 4.9 up with a bottle would be any different then any other engine. I have read about people adding turbos and watched a youtube video awhile back about a super charged big six but haven't considered going that route being as I don't feel my truck needs to be any faster then it is.

Have a read on my thread on this matter....

And FYI, NOS is a awesome way to blow a headgasket, or kill the rings.....
