Don't think N02 would be the best solution for your problem... it would work in kinda of short term but i'd get a HMF Full System, a less restrictive intake and possably gear it differently (drop a tooth or raise a few in back) to give you more low end grunt and get you going.

I agree with blindside. I'd spend the nitrous money on all the common bolt on's. Pipe, high flow filter, gearing, and maybe an exhaust cam. If going with a cam you'd probably want one with a mild curve.

Hell, go for it!!! I put no2 on my Z-400 and it was pretty much stock: exhaust, cams, ignition. That n02 tore **** up, i would demolish ne thing that would step up to the line. But after ahwile of running 20hp shots for a long time i ended up blowing a compression ring, but that was it . No scoring or any other damage to the piston or cylinder. So give it a shot.

I have been thinking about this for a while now. Makes sence to me that after your basic pipe, and intake mods, the next best power upgrade for the money would be a Nitrous kit on the Z. I don't see a problem with this as long as your don't get gready. Stick with a 10 or 15 shot and use it only when you need to use it. There are a few different kits avaiable out there. I like the wet setup with the Fogger jet. What type of kit are you running MURDR?
