  Ring Gap is more important than forged pistons with nitrous. When the rings completely close the gap your pistons will grenade and it doesn't matter if they're cast or forged.

  There was a time back in the late 90&apos;s that the LS engine was referred to as a just a &quot;pushrod engine&quot; and it actually was meant to be a little bit of an insult. &nbsp;The insinuation was that it was old tech and GM was behind the times.

  It&apos;s nice to see Amish Mike has overcome his fear of latex gloves. Apparently his last doctors visit involved latex gloves &amp; was pretty traumatic

  The “fakeness” of this show both brings me back and insults me at the same time.

  I got my first nitrous kit when I was 19 . Traded a 67 Fairlane for it and a msd set up and other goodies .for 93 coupe mustang I&apos;d just bought . Well needless to say .the old advice about dont let cousin Bubba tell you how to hook it up .is very very true lol.the reason he traded me .he had a 70s model f150 with a 390 . I said how did it do on it . He said man for about 3 secs it was the baddest S.O.B. you ever seen . Sprayed it and it took off like a rocket. Then 3 secs later parts of the motor flew up threw the hood . And puked the rest of the motor down and out in the road. I said man what happened. He said I didn&apos;t know any thing about hooking it up. So when I seen two connections . I just put a Y in the nitrous line .and connected spray to both jets ! Hahaha yikes musta been like a 5000 shot coming threw that bigger fuel jet. He Laffed and said Bubba strikes again .
