Got a '96 with a minor leak in the gasket. Thinking about putting on a 65-70 shot wet system soon (got CAI and 2 1/4" exhaust) but was curious if the gasket was a problem or not. Many people blow their already bad gaskets with the NOS?

I would STRONGLY advise against the use of nitrous on your car until you get the HG fixed!

Yup do the head gasket before you even start to think about NOS.

If you go to I think the second page of posts in this topic, there is a post called "I hope this isn't any of our guys"... It is a video of what can happen if you have a leaking headgasket.

A minor leaky head gasket is a problem NA let alone with nitrous. I wouldn't even drive it NA, doesn't take but one drive for the minor leak to become sitting on the side of the road waiting for AAA.
