Default nitrous oxide question

im new to the v6 game i've always had a gt so this motor is all new to me. I hear the head gaskets are weak on them is this true? The reason i ask is because i am wanting to spray my 2001 v6 but i was wanting to know how much is to much for the motor and/or the head gaskets?

Usually you can go up to a 100 shot and be fine.

I wouldnt worry too much about the gaskets on the 01. 1994 and 1995 had big problems there but you should be fine. You should be fine with the correct tune and plugs on 100 but you should work your way up to it based on your needs.

how fast do you go through say a 10lb bottle using a 75-100 shot? I would like to add a dry system to my GT. Thanks

Nitrous question belong in the power adder section.

You will get ruffly 10 good runs with a 75shot. with a 100 more around 8 in the 1/4 mile. I know a few people who do 100shots on the 3.8 they are tuff motors.
