Also depends on how big of a shot you go with and what kind of setup you go with. The bigger the shot of NOS, the more 'harmful' it'll be on your engine. I'm not to familiar with all the set-ups, cept for wet and dry- i'd say wet is safer and the way to go, but others will say to go dry. Just do a bit of research if you are concerned about your engine and dont buy the first kit that comes your way. personally, i would not buy from NOS, I've heard the have ....less quality.... not to mention, other companies will give you a lot more accesories for the same or less. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>NewbieFreak</b> <br /><small>Member # 962</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,2,4,10,45,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> So how about headers, intakes or heads.
