If I were to run Nitrous, and I just might, I'd stick with a dry system and use a 75 shot in stages. You can't really run much higher a shot than that.

Here's a little quick info
T3/T4- 45 year old design, thrust bearing's don't like high PSI for long.
Physically big for the flow size
Won't fit your car without a custom header,downpipe, chargepipe, oil drains,oilfeeds.

It really boils down to what kind of $$ you have to battle dad.
If you got around 4K to spend you'll be able to score 400ish whp after a little screwing around with the tune. I got the goods fer ya!
That should easily handle a bonestock C6.
But- you think your old man's gonna let that slide?
First time my vette handed my old man his arse, (he's got a s-10 with a BIIIG blower) he pulled it down changed the cam and pullied the sucker for 20psi. Pissing contests as my mom likes to call it, will never end no matter how old you& your dad get.
Keeps ya close, at least in my family.
As a tuner, one of my favorite things is getting a group of friend or a family that's into cars. As soon as I upset the powerbalance within their click, I got the whole lot of them beating down my door.

ok now im getting somewhere...........so the idea with that t3/t4 is out and your right about if i actually do beat him it wont be more than once he has let me know that already it kinda seems like im fighting a losing battle lol!! but its all good i have found it much more fun to toy around with all these guys around here in their civics, eclipse's, 350z's, and a couple of guys that have those wrx sti all wheel drives give me a good run from dead stop.and is it just me or our cars with a little bit of work actually beating down these mustang gt's and chargers?? and thats just on straight rund they dont stand a chance in the curves

If someone has something that just outclasses me I challenge them to race me on a road or event of my choosing. Twisties will always even the playing feild or turn things in your favor if the other person can't drive.

Be careful with that. People will surprise you.

You have already beat him. Mention that you can buy a second GXP and still have change left over. If you are realy intent on beating the C6 then have a LS7 installed and much more tire.
