    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.

No, you have to add more fuel when using nitrous

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.
