Nitrous on a 383...

Hi i am restoring my 71 R/T 383 back to about 95% original including the 383 Magnum stock exept cam and headers.
My question is as follows? i whould like to install a nitrous system (about 150 hp) in it for some extra punch now and then, is this a good working combination? do i need an extra fuel supply of some sort?

Oh God yes. You will need a good fuel supply. Any drop in fuel pressure and BOOM!

I suggest you find out a lot more about these systems and the damage they can do before you start.

There is some good info here.

You've worried me now Dave, I've got nitrous on my 383 which I bought that way and now I want to check if it's been done right! Thanks for the link
