Message	I wasted over $1000 for a full nitrous kit with all the trimmings. Could have spent that money on some intercoolers, injectors, or save for 1/2 the cost of Sport 500s. Having nitrous in I had to retard my timing, which took away from my every-day power. Haha, and it turns out that when I did replace my intercoolers, there was a HUGE crack in the factory passenger side end-cap. Was probably losing all the power that the nitrous added through that leak.... But it sure did kick when I had the nitrous and the new non-leaky intercooler! Rob
