Get appropriate plugs, other than that a fuel pump upgrade would be a smart idea first as well as making sure everything else is in good condition.

wet shot is good... 75 shot is about the biggest you will want to go anything more will kill the motor. getn an inline auxilary fuel pump for nitrous use, good set of plugs and theys about it. and its not called NOS, its called N20 or Nitrous Oxide. NOS is a company called Nitrous Oxide Systems and ricers and inexperianced people call it NOS. Hell call it giggle gas, or happy juice, or squeeze, or spray. just not NOS

Are you seriously worried about price range on sparkplugs while considering nitrous ?



If price on spark plugs is a serious concern for you, please stay away from nitrous, just dont even get started because you are certain to become one of those "OMFG, NAWWWZZ WILL BLOWZ UPS UR ENGIMES MANNN" guys...

Spark plugs are typically $2-$5 for something good, each.

170K is nothing for mileage if its been properly taken care of.

It's not uncommon for 3800's to go well over 200k, they're a stout engine, just like z28 mentioned IF properly taken care of.
