Boosted Bville is on a distinguished road

Thanks guys, I got exactly what I wanted and that was all your input and I appreciate it. My friend runs a speed shop and only installs Nitrous Express. Like I mentioned before he'* a nitrous genious, so I think I'll end up doing it because I trust him with my car. I'll be getting the tranny rebuilt before I end up doing this anyway.

Let me know how it goes! I'm interested in how a boosted bonne handles the nitrous.

You've got a 4 speed FWD 4T80-E. The 4.4L */C Northstars are being bolted to a 6 speed RWD 6L80-E. Totally different transmissions.

But, the 4T80-E is MUCH stronger than a 4T65-E. It would be worried about a stock 4T65 with nitrous and a 3.4" pulley. You'd need to have at least a shift kit installed in the 65, if not stronger clutches and an LSD to prevent diff failure.

With those done, I'd think a quality nitrous system would be what you're looking for. I'd recommend away from nitrous because you can do so much other stuff, but it'* your car, so you can make power however you want.
