i believe the main reason why the engines dont last in our trucks (with forced induction) but they seem to be just fine in a 03-06 viper is the extra weight of the truck. when you get on the gas there is an extra load factor because of the weight of the truck.FATJACK said:???????????

ie...towing puts more stress on an engine because of extra weight, its just overlooked, take the truck to the limit you going to do damage to the engine. I actually think a reasonable shot of NOS is safer than a blower on a stock truck. plus you could spray the top end of 2nd, 3rd & 4th...the truck is moving and has less of a burden on the engine. guys are spraying 200 shots on there genIII...even 300 shots on a GenII.
picture drag racing your viper towing a 2000+ pound trailer...you know what im saying
Django said:Interesting perspective.....
I believe a Paxton with 7-8 lbs psi is safer than NOS, but both would be risky......
Just an opinion....
