[W126 Coupe] nitrous

[jack emery]

Thanks, Eddie. I have a 1986 420 that has just had the trans. rebuilt with a 
full "repair kit". An extra 100 HP would be nice. Would this be OK? Is there 
work to do on the engine management system.? There are a couple of nitrous 
specialists in my general area.
