Using NOS Safely? - 10/9/2006 9:34:10 AM    KingSize Posts: 75 Joined: 9/14/2005 Status: offline I've never ran NOS before. I've always been kind of an "all motor" guy myself. But I just bought an '87 that has a 350 that is .30 over. It has 100 shot of NOS on it as well. I know NOS can be used fairly safely, but was wondering what all I need to do to insure I don't burn anything up? Obviously not using it all the time, but besides that. I plan to only use it once in a blue moon at the track. Not often at all. The timing is already retarded 2 degrees. What all can I do to make my motor last with a NOS set-up? Post #: 1

If you have leaks in the system then it will be much more dangerous. Make sure you have the correct safety equipment installed as above and you should be fine. (in reply to z34phoenix) Post #: 4
