Well like the topic says I'm thinking about running a NX kit on my 02 firebird but not really sure as to what I need or anything like that. Now what I want to know is how much can I run on a pretty much stock 3.8 v6 motor? Will I have to change anything?

Re: thinking about mitrous......maybe
This may make it a little easier. I pulled it right off another post:
Supporting mods MUST BE DONE:
1. Cat-back exhaust
2. Cold air intake
Now that the motor is breathing...
1. If you are new to nitrous, get a dry kit. Easy installation and its cheaper.
2 NOS 5175 kit is highly regarded and recommended by most people on this site and it can be easily upgraded to a wet kit. I converted my 5175 to a wet kit and absoluetely love it. :)

check the very bottom of the site for this kit
3. Get a window switch. This enables the nitrous to spray within a certain rpm range. Always a good safety feature.
4. Get a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch (FPSS) Very important.
5. Get a bottle warmer.
6. A good dyno tune to retard your timing.
7. Run 92+ octane gas when spraying.
Recommended Items for nitrous:
1. Headers
2. Hi flow cat
3. For anything more than 85 shot upgrade the fuel pump to a 255lph
4. Anything 125 and up get bigger injectors (dry shot)
Just my 2 cents.
Still do a search though, cuz that is just the basics. There is a TON of info on this board. Good luck on the project!Last edited by Shodown; 09-20-2006, 11:38 PM.sigpic

Re: thinking about mitrous......maybe
The first step in curing an addiction is admitting you have a problem.....
