Nitrous?

[stripped302]

I am unfamiliar with it on the Eco platform that why I asked. I've just seen it used on other turbo cars and was just wondering on a smaller scale of it could be replicated. Going by the few answers doesn't look like it can and meth maybe the only avenue until we start seeing some more turbo options

So in summary, people are just saying what I replied the first time. The main answer is nitrous is better for cooling when it comes to turbo applications on stock systems. If you would like to change the powerband then aftermarket turbo, head work, and cams will be where you need to be. FI engines are freaking sweet, but admittedly much more expensive than pushrod V8's.

I started using it in 1985, It is used all the time on turbo cars, if your going to try a small shot it should be fine, keep in mind that somewhere around 450 ft lbs (at the wheels and at very low rpm's) a motor has come apart.. A 50-75 shot in the upper rpm (say 5K rpm's) would sure make that torque curve stay up...... or maybe a progressive set up to not hit to hard in the lower RPM?
I haven't seen the inside of an intake yet, so who knows if you'll get any pooling.
I bet a programmer with a nitrous tune and a 75 shot and you would be making 350whp and over 400 ft lbs.
Let me know if you try it and how it works.

Anything higher than 420 lbs/ft and you will snap your driveshaft like a twig.

Well I talked to livernois today and they said it's totally possible, and in a small shot in the realm I'm thinking (50) safe when dyno tuned and can be added to bolt-ons. They did recommend a separate fuel source basically a small cell. Good to know this option can be in my back pocket. I will probably start with meth and tune and go from there.
