Power Adders
You’d be hard-pressed to find a company with more options for adding nitrous to an LS engine than Nitrous Express, or simply NX as it’s known to their fans. Founded in 1996, and still owned and operated by Mike Wood, the company takes great pride in the quality, engineering, safety, and power of their systems.
We’ve connected with Turbosmart USA to help us guide you, our readers, to a better understanding of how blowoff valves and wastegates work and how they’re properly sized for a given application, engine combination, and horsepower output.
Controlling pressure inside your engine’s crankcase can yield a significant increase in horsepower. This goes hand in hand with properly controlling your oil system. How much power and how you set things up are also tied together and will depend on your engine’s particular setup.
Chris Alston’s Chassisworks has helped lead the charge in hardcore supercharging accessories with the development of the Component Drive System, a supercharger belt and gear drive setup that also features a host of innovative accessory drives. Join us as we review the CDS system on our Project BlownZ Camaro.

With the boosted section of our multi-part guide to performance upgrades for 2011 Mustang GT 5.0L complete, we shift to the world of nitrous oxide systems, where we’ve spoken with some of the leaders in the industry, including ZEX, Nitrous Oxide Systems, and Nitrous Express to learn more about their offerings

We wanted to show how easy it is to install the nitrous on your car and help put to rest some of the myths and horror stories that have been spread throughout the years. Thankfully, today’s nitrous systems are very advanced and have many years of technology behind them, making them very user-friendly.
