will running a nitrous system in my car at very low levels help to increase my mileage? Is it possible?

No it would not help, it's just like running a higher octane gas, which if tuned for it will increase mileage but you're paying more for higher octane gas so it negates itself.

That to--- and depending on the size shot--- even if its a 50 shot w/ our 87-93 injection system w/ only 19lbhr injectors you'd need 24lbhr injectors, then upgrade a fuel pump, MAF, a tune.... It'd be more money then it's worth....

Besides N20 is like-- once you try it... you'll just want more....hahhahaha

Who ever told you this should be shot, this is complete mis-information. #19 injectors will support 50hp shot and then some.

Usually you only spray for a few seconds at a time,and always at WOT. I laughed thinking about someone driving to work in the morning at WOT spraying the entire way to work..haha I guess youd need an unlimited supply of no2.

I was gonna quote the same thing, but I was beaten to it. And you definitely don't need to replace the fuel pump. LMAO

put it this way....
$500-$700 for a decent/great n20 kit
$300'ish for injectors
MAF-- i think they're $200
+ a tune
Labor/installation
Refills
+ gas $



And with the fuel pump thing, i just put that in there because i know how n20 can be... addictive.. then upgrade the injectors then you'd need a pump... so pretty much be back at stage 1 with more upgrades-- ya know.

its not a good idea to run nitrous when you arn't at WOT.
