How much nitrous can a stock Geo Tracker handle?

So, I just picked up a Geo Tracker for $1. I paid in quarters.

So how much nitrous do you think I can run before it explodes?

I'd start with a 500 shot and up it 100hp each time. Please be sure to film it and wear a Nomex suit.

I was thinking about it, but I don't want to crack the block and dump fluids on the track. That would ruin everyone's night.

I'm either going to nitrous my Bronco II, or my Tracker. Not quite sure.

The Tracker's in better shape. The Bronco II is almost guaranteed to explode... which might be cool.

I dumped some race fuel in it the other week, just to see what would happen. It's been near overheating ever since.

dont listen to these guys the just want to see it fry quickly. if you want to have some fun with it just start with a 75 or 100 shot and work your way up. swap plugs to colder ones otherwise you'll predet right away.
