Buy a 350 or ISF is you want more power. Using nitrous is more trouble than its worth imo

So very true, the price difference from a 250 to 350 in the older years is hardly anything.

I wouldn't do it, there's really no point unless you got money to waste

I agree with the above comment by Bob. More trouble than what it's worth. I did see a 250 at Toyota Fest with nitrous this past Sunday though. Kinda funny the question was just asked also.

And only gain ~50-60 hp!

Just a heads up OP, if you decide to go that route

This forum is such a buzz kill when it comes to performance... So what if our cars are limited, doesnt mean people cant still have fun with the car and spend their money. If you understand the cars limitations and want to spend the money, there is no reason not to. People will continually hate you for having a different mindset on the forums tho. People tried to tell me you cant run 7psi, even though people have done it (Pepos in particular), and when i tell them i dont track the car they tell me "youre not really running 7psi then" because i dont redline my car stoplight to stoplight, gets old.

/rant. Back on topic... lol

Ive had friends spray with no problems on their is250's. Just dont go crazy with a huge shot. There's probably info on the boards if you search, if not let me know and i'll see what they were running.
