Gains for VI 4th gen + nitrous?

My VI finally arrived yesterday. Turbo95Max and I will be installing it soon, and I should be dynoing it shortly thereafter.

I'm wondering what sort of gains I can expect up top with the VI and nitrous. I'm thinking it won't help as much compared to having a supercharger or turbocharger, since nitrous isn't really too dependent on air flow.

Anyone dyno a VI 4th gen with only nitrous?

Thoughts?

It should help alot. The draw back of VI is torque. We get tons of that with nitrous. As soon as nitrous hits, we get our peak torque. Our nitrous HP curve shape just like NA. We still get that damn dip in HP after 5K rpm with US manifold.

Yeah, my nitrous hp dyno curve was pretty similar to the NA curve.

If the VI nitrous hp curve is anything like the VI NA hp curve (hp levels off instead of dropping), I guess I could see gains of over 50 hp up top.

We'll see...
