Forced induction or spray put more strain on a V6 engine?
Thinking about sraying my car instead of getting a power adder. I mean id love to go turbo or procharged but the gas prices r insane. This way i can chose wen and wen not to use it. Nothing big, a 75 shot at first just b/c ive never driven a car on spray b4, but if i want more, ill bump it up to a 150. I know a tune is extremely important, but wat puts more strain on ur motor F/I or Spray? This is my DD and i need to keep it reliable. Wat do u guys think?
Bad things can happen with both. At 150 shot you'll be picking your engine parts up off the street. Stuck nozzle or spraying to low will end you engines service life in a heartbeat. Very few second chances when spraying.

First off... Nitrous is a power adder, it's just not forced induction which I also assume is what you meant in your title instead of fuel injection?

John (fishingjts) windowed his block on nitrous.
Ya, im guessing a Mod changed my title, its suppose to b Forced induction. But he was probably spraying a crazy ass amount or sprayed in low rpms or something. I mean a kno a crazy LS2 that sprays i think a 500 shot and his crap hasnt gone kaboom yet. i just want some power on reserve w/o hurting my gas milage.

actually... i just took a piece of the ring landing off one of the pistons... Not a lot of damage... piston... couple of valves... the problem the LABOR involved to fix it... picked up a lightly used 4.0L for $900!

125 shot... sprayed at about 2000 to 2200 RPM... broke a piece of the ring landing off...
ummm... spraying 500HP? I got the feeling a STOCK LS2 is not going to handle a 500HP shot... so it's really not a very good comparison... the problem with the 4.0L is the hyperpathic pistons... the ring landing is very thin due to the rings being so close to the top for emissions... they do not handle detonation very well...
supercharger or turbo really won't hurt your gas mileage... problem people have is their right foot gets a lot heavier after the installation... which DOES effect gas mileage...

nope... actually it didn't run too bad once i fixed the spark plug... although the valve train was a tad noisy, going clackity clack clack.. and the exhaust back fires were pretty interesting... LOL!
problem is the 4.0L is a PITA to work on to fix something like that...
im assuming its a built motor, lol. dont sc and turbos inject more air into the engine thus causing a bigger bang resulting in more power? if u have more air, u need more fuel as well right? unless u wanna run lean, which im gonna say is most likely bad for ur engine.

yes... you force more air in and then you add more fuel to get the proper Air/Fuel Ratio (A/F). Which is why when you buy a Supercharger or Turbo kit you can either:
A) Buy a complete kit which includes a "canned" tune
B) Buy without a "canned" tune and have your local performance shop do a custom dyno tune...
The "canned" tunes are usually very conservative and run a the rich side... to get the most out of you new SC or Turbo a custom dyno tune is best...
In the case of N2O, since the S197 has a returnless fuel system the easiest thing to do is go with a "wet" N2O kit... Not only will you be spraying N2O, but you will also be spraying gasoline... the additional gas is, like you said so you don't run lean...
Neither mod should affect the milage of your vehicle when commuting/driving around town. Your gas mileage will only be affected by the urge to feel your butt pressed firmly against your seat more often. Dont worry about it. Pick the one that makes you happiest and keep your foot out of it except when you really need your FIX and you will be good as gold and the extra money on fuel will be considered an entertainment expenditure.

or course with SC or Turbo you are going to want to use Premium fuel all the time.... with N20, I used it ONLY at the track, so i could run 87 during the week, run the tank to E and then put 94 in on the weekends...
