odd idea for a multi-stage system

[Boehlke]

OK, I already have a dry system on th '98 Camaro, and now that the forged pistons/rods are going in, I want to up the nitrous capabilty. I thought I could keep the current dry setup and just add a wet system like the TNT or NX. It would basically serve as a backup like "Oh crap! I'm loosing!" system. I figured since the dry system would always be on when the wet was activated, it would prevent any nitrous backfires. Can two independant systems be ran without any problems? I'd probably keep my one bottle and use a distribution block for the nitrous.

Can you run 2 independant systems?
Sure.
Personally if you went to a multi stage system I would like to see the first stage direct port (wet obviously) and second stage a wet kit.
I would not want a dry kit in this set up.
As it is you would probably have a high hp nitrous amount if you are runing multi stage system so running lean is an option that MUST not happen.
Lets just say you also add a seperate fuel line to handle the strong appetite for fuel
With a direct port or wet kit you are relying on the fuel pump alone
With a dry kit you are relying on the pump, injectors, fuel rails etc
There are more area's that could have things go wrong.
Personally I'd like to see someone go with a direct port and wet.

Now, if this was a turbo or blower car then I would like to see a single stage dry shot to be utilized as a way to significantly drop intake temperatures

Ah, so basically it is possible, just not recommended. Cool, thanks for the input

When i do my direct port system i am gonna relcocate my battery to the back and keep it in a a batty box and mount a switch in the brake light in order to kill the batty and everything else. And then where the battery was im gonna mount a 2 gallon fuel cell to have race gas in. Then i will have an independent fuel pump and regulator to supply fuel for the direct port.

Yup, I've seen people install the 1 gallon fuel cell in place of the battery. They fill it up with 100+ octane for high hp nitroused runs [img]smile.gif[/img]
