nitrous loves compression. you dont need to lower your compression to run nitrous, there is alot of misinformation on this board about that. if you are going to run a big shot of spray at the track, you should be using race fuel anyway.

What about cylinder heads? All aluminum heads are the same casting numbers on 6.0s, LQ4 and LQ9?
All 2000 LQ4s are iron? or no? I am looking at a 2000 LQ4, the man said they were aluminum heads, if they are aluminum are they the good ones? If there is any dif at all.
I need this info quick! THANKS!
