  • Which kit

    Im new to nitrous but i want to get involved in it. Good bang for the buck. Anyways, i just wondering what kit would be the best (running either 75 or 85 shot). Im a highschool student so im kinda poor :rolleyes: but im tired of gettin pushed around by the LT1's. hehe i wanna at least give em a run for their money. Also what kind of time should i be runnin on a 85 shot (15.8 base time). Maybe 14.8-14.9?
    And would you suggest a WOT switch?

    Thanks

    i know someone around my area, has a 96 auto RS, that crappy b&m shift improver, flowmaster exhaust, and a dry 100 shot, and he runs 13.9's


    you should be able to do that

      oh, and get all the safety things you can. WOT switch, FPSS, blowdown tube, purge helps (not really safety tho, just makes it better), bottle heater (a MUST!)

        True but Im not sure if i want to go 100 shot on a 126k mile engine
        I would just sit and watch it go boom [img]graemlins/popcorn.gif[/img]

        Whats Fpss and blowdown tube? I planned on the WOT switch and probably a purge. Why is the heater necessary?

          fpss = fuel pressure safety switch... shuts off system if it starts to runn too lean

          blowdown tube... helps make explosion happen outside your car.

          the heater keeps the nitrous at a constant temperature, rather than fluctuating up and down which can affect the performance and safety of the system.

          im kinda new to posting in this forum, but have done a bunch of reading and listening in. did I get the answers right?

              quick question for 12secv6... i had the 5175 kit for my camaro on a stock motor. i put a 47 jet in it and not more than maybe 5 times sprayin, my engine went boom. it only had about 36,000 mi on it and so i thought it would hold, but i guess i was wrong. well anyway, my question is, about what shot of nitrous is a 47 jet? i had all the intake and exhaust stuff down, i just was wondering if you had an estimated hp number i was running on the bottle.

                I just ordered the nitrous works efi powerwing kit off of summit. It was fairly cheap next day air included the total was $498. I have ran NX before and enjoyed it. Personally i would stay with wet kits cuase i dont wanna run lean.

                  47........ isn't that an 85 shot?

                  I don't have the book in front of me.

                  Did you have a FPSS?

                  What happened?

                    yep, i had everything except for my window switch. i just needed the "pills" for it to come in, but it just went one run and now im kinda laid out. so im gonna get on building up my motor for tiagos turbo, then add maybe a 50 shot or something. if im gonna go boom again, i atleast want to hit 11-12s

                      Is that nitrous works efi powerwing kit a wet or dry kit? i would like to go dry because it seems easier to install, but i might be completely wrong about that. Is wet or dry easier?
