V6 nitrous

I have a v6 2012 camaro with k&n intake and magnaflow exhaust.. Would nitrous be a bad idea on a V6 engine?

Nope, you can easily do a 125 shot safely-- go look in the V6 forums. Plenty of guys have done it.

Here is a 13.17@106 mph run on my V6 with nitrous. Poor GTO 6.0L in the other lane. <--- GTO owner at the end of the run.

How much did that cost? I am complete noob when it comes to nitrous.
You just take it to a shop to re-fill?

I can only imagine the GTO guys face at the end "WTH, ....:("

The nitrous kit I use NYTREX Triple Threat I got for $850.00. I installed it myself in less than an hour. If know you someone with some good basic skills, they can help you get it done. The bottle refills you take to most speed shops for a refill. I suggest checking your area for Nitrous refill centers before buying a kit so you know what options are there for your refill needs. Most places charge by the pound and your average bottle holds 10 lbs. The price ranges from $5.00 - $7.00 per lb. around here in Maryland. I do have an advantage because I manage an automotive repair center so I purchase large 58lb bottles and do my own refills at about $3.30 a lb. Ask away any questions that is the only to learn.

Awesome video!

How much time will a 125 shot shave off the 0-60 time? I only have a CAI, no other mods.

probably nothing, spraying the manual car in 3rd gear or late 2nd gives the better result, otherwise your just spinning the tires, looks like it's the same for autos as well.

125 shot + slicks +auto trans = 1.616 60ft

You're running slicks, I believe the OP and myself are not, Maybe with slicks we can spray out of the gate, but not on street tires....

I should have noted that in my previous post, I made an ASSumption, and you know what they say about that....lol

I'm VERY leery about putting slicks on an IRS car

1.6 is awesome BTW....
