But should be able to tune it out or unplug something

My gen2 is looking better and better everyday.

Are the factory pistons really that bad? Plenty of import motors able to take 2+ bar of boost have cast pistons.

You should be able to achieve around 733whp with 5 or 6 psi of boost. Don't paxton setups run more than that?

Edit: It seems the SRT8 shares the '08s pistons, so we should be able to get a good idea of how tough they are from SRT8 guys. The SRT8s have less stroke though, and so the '08 should support about 10% more power per cylinder at the same cylinder pressure.

If you do find a way to make the juice compatable with the 08 computer be careful because if there is an issue (or even if your dealer sees the Nitrous hardware on the car )say goodbye to the warranty forever no if and or buts .

well I hope that you get the issue worked out, I am interested to see what it will run at the track with the 150 shot if you are already running a 10.86 without the Nitrous. I have been told by Dan Cragin and others though that those cast pistons and nitrous are not a good combination. Especially the way you plan on running it without a progressive controller and hitting it in first, that will put more stress on the components.

With that said though there are people with the GenIII's including myself for a bit that was running a 200 shot with no issues. I didnt run it for that long though. When I do start driving my car again the shot will be down to either 100 or a 150. I am told your engine is already pushed to the limits just about anyway, I would be very cautions with the nitrous. Either way I love Nitrous. Are you running the NX Kit?

Also if you get a chance show some under hood pictures and pictures of where you mounted the bottle, etc. I want to see how yours was installed. Thanks

And for the computer issue, if anyone can do it that would be Dan Cragin at DC Performance. I would give him a call. I am not sure how far he has gotten with the 08 ECU as that is a different animal.

I can hear the parts flying now.....
