My opinion!

I see all this as moot... If you can put nitrous or propane to it, Then you could just add more boost getting the same results yet maintaining drive ability.

-Enjoy

I agree with this too. You really need a turbo to make nitrous OR propane worth the effort and a turbo is the best way to go in the first place.

Well, I think this idea turned out to be a dud but o well. I can see what you are saying with the vacuum pump Dave.

Probably the only reality for a nitrous 6.9 idi is an all out race truck.

Thanks for the feed back guys
