I want Nitrous

[calvo]

I want to get nos here real soon. Not sure what system to get? Can you guys post some systems, part numbers, and prices for me please. Also which is better wet or dry? Oh and how much can the stock 3.8L V6 handel with out damage. Im thinking I would like to run a 75 hp but want to try a 100 or 150 what do you think? thanks for all the help.

Yup, try the search first
EVER question you have can be answered that way

If no luck then ask away

Just make sure that you have adequate fuel going to the motor. That is the biggest issue with nitrous. A 150 shot could be supported if you run forged pistons or if you want to take a chance and just up the fuel and spark delivery and see what happens. God luck either way.

What should I up the fuel pressure Im thinking of going with a 75 to 125 shot not sure yet?

[97 30th RS]

Uh, I don't know that. Whatever it is stock I think it is like 45 -50 psi, go to 60 psi. I think. Just puts more fuel through the injectors, but is hard on them though so maybe in the future get some higher rated injectors. #.8's have 22 pounds an hour, I would go to like 26 pounds for a 150 shot. If you can get that power to the ground that should be at least an eleven second pass, maybe high 10's.

If you get the NOS-05175 kit, you'll get an 85 jet with it, and a bypass jet to run to the fuel pressure regulator. The kit will bump you to about 60 psi.

Stock fuel system will start falling short around 120 shot or so. At that point you'll need a better pump, or a boost-a-pump.

The thing is to make sure you can deliver enough volume of fuel, rather than trying to hit a specific pressure number...

It's not that easy. You would need to retard the ignition timing and run higher octane fuel. Remember that James blew his motor up b/c our PCM's aren't very compatible w/ different # injectors.

For a 150 shot, You'll really need to upgrade your fuel pump, AFPR, MAFT+, NGK Tr-6 plugs, high octane fuel and ignition retard, just for starters.

With headers, exhaust and intake, the 150 shot and NO suspension mods you are looking at high twelves, if you can hook up at all.

12's aren't that easy.
I see people talking about 11's and even 10's?!?!?! Do you realize how hard that is??? At this point 10's in my mind are unobtainable

Bigger injectors DID blow my first engine.

Calvo, you are thinking about a 125 shot already?
I only run a 100 shot!

Small steps

Start with a 75 shot first.
Tune from there w/ a wide band dyno session.
Then progress from there

On my dry kit and 120 shot I saw fuel psi of 80+ psi

[calvo]

I want to work up to a 150 shot but im going to start with a 50 or 75 shot first. I run at high altitude so all this talk about 10's and 11' are out of the question. with FTRA $ K&N, Flowmaster(working on getting a test pips shop says i need a shorter cat to make room?) and 3.73 is basically all im running. they take me to a 16.7 consistent as day. right now im getting all the gauges and adjusters/ tunners I need to get the job done. any help & opinions will help. got an A/FR, Fuel pressure gauge, getting the Fuel pressure regulator and MAFC next pay check. Is this a good start?

[12secondv6]

Intake and exhaust is the first step.
3:42 gears max
The thought of a 150 shot should not even be in your head.
I wouldn't spray that much on a stock engine
Start with a 75 and see what happens

[calvo]

I already have a FTRA kit with a K&N and Smooth bellow intake tube. A flowmaster not sure which one and trying to get a test pipe cat was halfa$$ replaced under warrenty and left no room to weld flanges for the new pipe so i need a shorter cat to switch in and out. I will order the fuel pressure regulator when i get back from vacation over memorialdday weekend. Oh ya and 3.73's but no LSD :( WHAT ELSE SHOULD I GET?

Thanks in advance

Are the 3:73's installed?
Did you install 3:73's w/o LSD?

I personally do NOT like a lot of gear with a nitroused car.

I can't hook for sh*t with a 100 shot and 3:23's on bf drag's and a couple attempts on the street w/ et streets errupt in smoke

[calvo]

Yes 3.73 installed with oun LSD [img]graemlins/crybaby.gif[/img]
I did not know a gear set for a 2 searies carrier would not work with a 3 series so I fugured I would wait and save money.I hook up pretty good most of the time thankes to 275/40/17. Thinking of going to 315's but the rims are only 9" I think so probally jus go to 285's or 295 if I can find them. Plus I run at high altitude (about 5500' above) so stock a camaro V6 up here run sabout 17.8 damm slow best stock I got was 17.4 now it's down to a 16.7 and cant break it. Yet...

So, the gears are a 3 series carrier correct?
SLP sells 3 series carriers for $100
www.slpeng.com
I still don't like a lot of gear with a nitroused car.
Nitrous + 3:73's + open rear = lots of spinning and potentially broken parts
