I have a ZEX dry nitrous kit on my 86, my motor is stock as well. i am running a 65 hp shot and have had that for going on 3 years now using it all the time. It is a known fact nitrous its self does not harm your motor, it does not put any wear and tear on parts or anything like that. nitrous is bad when you put to much nitrous into a motor and not enough fuel to match the nitrous. thats the only time it will hurt anything. hope that helped

Well I agree with the N20 to O2 thing,
I would have to disagree that does not harm engine when done properly. The more power you put into and engine the more harm you are causing. Whether more forced induction (raising the boost) or nutrous (oxidiser) or leaning out (dangerous) you are adding stress to the engine thus causing more damage.
So by adding power it is impossible to get away from causign extra ware.

I think that if you need to ask. you don't understand it. if you don't understand it, you should not use it.

read up on it more till you under stand it, then you will know if it is safe for you to use.
