I'm contemplating spraying the car... I need someone who i can email back and forth with when i have questions. I need someone who is reliable, and knowledgeable to answer questions and such. I want to try my hardest NOT to blow my engine...but i'm on a limited budget. If anyone is insterested in being my right hand man... email me here...

All I can say is that if every thing is done RIGHT and you do the proper research it will be the funniest thing you've done to the car so far. Also if done correctly you run very little risk to messing up the motor. Good Luck

you should be fine if you take all the precautions
bottle heater, window switch, wot switch etc. You might want to get on clubgp.com and find some supercharged guys that run nitrous.. they'll be able to tell you the difference between spraying with FI and without it.. Shirl also has a supercharger and she sprays. You have a lot of very tallented people at your fingertips, they'll get you up and running.

I can't say I will be super reliable with emailing back ASAP, but I will always email back.
You can always post in the forum and we will answer pretty quickly.

Ok first question... what are the essentials will need if i already a basic kit. I have 600 dollars to spend.

And as far as shirl goes, i'll believe it when i see it.

oh yeah and for the record i'm not FI. I'm bone stock.

you have to be careful wiht nitrous, you to start with a small shot like a 50 shot and then move up from there. if your not crazy i wouldn't go over a 75 shot. even then your going to have to most likey get a new fuel system.

This much i know... won't go more than a 75 until after i build the motor, i'm not a retard.

Question still open for answers.

the basics you'll be looking for in a kit are some safety features..this is why i always recommend NOS kit 5175..it comes with a wide open throttle switch, fuel pressure safety switch..and a blow down tube..which is required for track use anyway..all you'll need is a bottle heater and a pressure gauge..maybe a window switch too..but i wouldnt bother with one on a dry kit..i can answer any more questions you have..i know all the rules..just dont always play by them hehe ;)

[AZ3.8Camaro]

These will come with most kits:

Master Arming Switch - Prevents nitrous use when not wanted.

Fuel Pressure Safety Switch (FPSS) - Disables nitrous system if fuel pressure drops.

Wide Open Throttle (WOT) Switch - Allows the nitrous system to only be activated at WOT to prevent engine damage.

Blow Down Tube - In case of overpressuring the tank, the blow down tube routes the nitrous outside of the car. This is a driver safety feature.

These I recommend:
Window Switch - This will activate the nitrous at a certain RPM and deactivate it at another. Coupled with the WOT switch, gaurantees proper activation. Prevents lean condition (damage) if the rev or speed limiter is hit. Prevents early activation and possible engine damage. (around $100)

Fuel Pump - A dry kit, whilst easier to setup, and safer against backfires, will most likely shorten the life of your fuel pump. If you have a Fuel pressure safetey switch, you will be safe in case your pump does start to fail. A new WALBRO 255lph in tank pump can be had for around $100, and will work for years with your nitrous kit.

With the entire above setup, you will have a reliable, safe, and almost automated setup. This results in the safest possible use on your car, great track results, and will last for a long time.

These can be used, but I don't recommend them.
Momentary Switch - Allows total human control over the nitrous. Only sprays when button is pushed. Needless to say, humans aren't as quick or reliable as computers.

The NOS 5175 Kit is a very reliable, well designed kit. It comes with a 10lb bottle, jetted at 85 HP and is adjustable in either direction.
Used kits are commonly found for $300.
New ones are at least $500.

I would get a wet kit, start out with a 50 shot and you will be safe up to a 90 shot on a stock fuel pump.. You can geta walbro 255 pump for 110.00.. I was spraying on my stock motor for 2 years and put 65 bottles through it.. Never had any problems.. I had no safty switch or any window switch.. I just armed the system and floored it and if I missed a gear My intake hose made of dryer hose would blow.. 125 shot is the $hit!!.. To keep my motor lasting I changed my oil and fuel filter every 2 months and my plugs every 3-6 months depending on how many bottles I put through it with the plugs in it.. I have a Compucar Wet kit.. They are 450.00 new and has a liftime warrenty on all the parts.. Get a bottle warmer.. But yeah if you have any questions you can email me.. firechicken1998@hotmail.com

Jess, I would go with a Wet kit because one you get the dry kit and the fuel pump plus the install it will cost about the same if not more and you should be able to make more power with the wet kit.

[Pathogen]

(Some previous posts are not worth my time addressing) Anyway!

Jess, my wet kit is sitting there collecting dust - and you know as well as I do that my car isn't going to be needing it for quite some time. :( (How's it doing anyway? *sigh*)

I think the kit is missing a safety switch of some kind (can't remember right now), and there's a second fuel pump there too - Three bolts to install, clips right into the fuel line. If you can get your hands on a spare LS1 power ring, it might work well with the lid we fabed last year. - Or you could spray through that lid (also very popular.)

I know the guys won't let you do something to hurt your car.

Come on, it would be nice to have someone to stage in the PA class... other than Red Dragon!

[img]graemlins/rofl.gif[/img] </font>[/QUOTE]And you really honestly think anyone but maybe 2 members on this board think you're legit? Come on....really. I'm not gonna waste my time here, but ummm, if you want to be taken seriously, come down to the track days we have no more then 2 hours away from you, and race once. Then maybe we'll all believe it. In fact, attendance ratings might go up if you ACTUALLY showed.

Kristen i wasn't being a meanie, just stating that i needed to know more in depth details. To be honest i know more about ls1/lt1/and L98's than i know about my "wittle v6." I just wanted some personal experience on what people have done in the past that have worked or failed.

I have a wet kit right now, it's used so i have to do an inventory of it, and find out what's what.

Also, have a LSD waiting to put in, and a convertor in the works. My main concern is I want to know the MAJOR things NOT to leave out, so i don't blow the motor on the first 5 sprays. I'm getting 50 shot jets, 75 shot jets, and 100 shot jets. Starting lightly on the 50 for basics, then test and tune with 75, and then after i order internals, i'll up to the 100.

The real reason i'm so concerned about blowing the motor is because i want all numbers to match for the future owner because it is #49 of under 1000 made. :D
