It's all up to you if it's worth the few extra hp. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>customN2O</b> <br /><small>Member # 914</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(2003,6,14,21,12,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> IF you are planning on buying new pistons, defineately add more compression, but if you have forged pistons already, then dont sweat it. You can make good power with N2O and lower compression. Instead of 150hp, just add 200. You will be surprised at how that motor will "wake up". Any questions, give me a call. Can give you some good info/tech.<br />Scott<br />925-998-1517 <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
