Exclamation Nitrous Question

I just recently purchased a ZEX Nitrous Wet Kit. I was driving the other day (running a 55 Shot) and the car died. I checked the spark plugs and one of them was fried, the others were burnt. I was told by ZEX that if i replaced my stock plugs with ones that run two degrees colder, this wouldn't happen. My car luckly just had something knocked loose, and cost me only $20 to fix. My car was idleing funny and making a rattling noise. The spark plugs were replaced and the mechanic fixed the rattling. Does anyone know if by changing to the cooler plugs will allow me to run safely a 55 shot, without having to change the pistons??? PLEASE REPLY!!

another forum user cracked his piston on just a 50 shot of NOS, these engines can not handle NOS without forged internals.

i just have to say NAAAAWWWWZZZZZ!

yeah upgrade your pistons now or you will be forced to very soon. Not sure if you will need more than that or not though

zex is right also if you want to run on the bottle, you may want to take a deg or two of timing out.

nitrous is safer if you only use it higher in the rpm's, I had a yamaha v-max on the bottle.

good luck!
