i would never expect to run a 10 off nitrous with an SC (nor do i believe i ever said that). thats a little overkill....they weigh a friggin ton....and i don't trust a shot like that on a car unless its built specifically for nitrous. Obviously cars running in the 10s with nitrous have been built to do so.
Also, i was debating the lowering of compression for drivablitliy issues. Thats why i wanted something that i could control timing with. So i didnt have to run around with 4 degrees of retarded timing all day. Maybe a resonable shot can be run on stock compression. The cars are sluggish enough on their own...they don't need lower compression and retarded timing with no power adder for daily driving situations.
though back to the orignial question...has anyone had any experience with either of these kits? whether with an SC or otherwise? I will be ordering one of these two next week, and i didn't want to go into it blindly.
ALSO: i am sorry if i came off a bit rude to the guy that said:
i really have no idea what that had to do with and SC300 / Nitrous / Experience with a nitrous kit / experience with one of the kits i listed.
It really just seemed like he was flaming me for no real reason. Thats why i replied the way i did.

Sorry but I cant take you seriously, you came in here acting like a 10 year old kid crying to his mom

though an upgraded head gasket (thicker or not) would be in order.
in my opinion....and maybe some ARP headstuds while i'm at it.
i think these engines can hold quite a bit of nitrous.

75 will not hurt you...at least from my experience, I have stock everything...you name it...it's stock ....I used 93 octane pump gas, spark plugs that weren't for nitrous, and I am fine....I had a ½ filled bottle (w/o warmer), dry kit. but I think something is not right for my SC, it's slow....I ran a 5.81 from 20-60 punch w/ the 75 shot..but I had fun....btw, 5.81 with ½ tank of pump gas, driver and passenger togther about 245-250 lbs on SC300, and I have heavy fat rims, 18X8.5 and 18X9.5 with decent width tires. Those are the factors that would probably slow my car down..but I didn't think they will slow it down that much..

Those are slow times, I ran a 15.4 stock in my SC300 with 133K miles. There is a guy in MD that was running a 100shot of wet NX on his IS300 and ran mid 13's with mods being I/H/E, fuel pump and SAFC2. I think he is running on boost now w/o n2o and is still making similar times b/c of traction issues.
