Those won't raise boost, so no don't run them, the weight will just slow you down.

Particularly when you factor in the sudden release of fuel and harder g force in drag race conditions.

Is this special for nitrous use or recommended for every car over 400 whp?

More like over 500+. I have tested to 450 and it was not a problem.

I was about to question his statement, but I think in that power range it's probably close enough to agree

I do regret my ecu choice but its not really cost effective to change ecu and start tuning again.
