Post Two Things I really need answered

I have a 98 SS, Loudmouth, lid, SLP MAF, Filter, Short throw,
I am going to do Hooker headers and y-pipe, should I put an electric cutout after the y-pipe? Where do I get an electric cut out (website wise)?
I am thinking about using a fidanza flywheel and need to know if it will have any problems. I really need to know about anyones experience with fidanza flywheels.
And one more thing can this car take the abuse of a 100shot wet kit???

Thumbs up

Put the cutout right befor the I-pipe goes over the axle. As far as te wet kit, as long as it's set up correctly, you should have no problems. Make sure a qualified person intalls the Nitrous, just to be sure.

In my experience, wet kits are a lot less reliable and more complicated to work with when tuning. A 125 dry shot would be your bet bet. It goes right to the throttle body. It is also safer b/c a dry kit with WOT (Wide open throttle) will shot the nos only when you need it. It takes away the need for computer control. As far as the cut out goes, the reason you cant find any is b/c there are so many good exhaust systems available that they are not needed. The sound that comes out of them is annoying to say the least. The best investment I have made for exhaust flow is the random tech Y-pipe. Which I ordered online.

Hope this helps

Actually..

A dry kit is the setup typicaly installed BEFORE to MAF.

And the wet kit is installed at the TB.

A wet kit simply sprays both n20 and Fuel, thus eliminating the need for computer, or raised Fuel pressure control.


hope THIS helps

First off guy, here's a link to a manufacturer of an electric cut out. Since you have a loudmouth, if there is room put the cutout between the Y-pipe and the resonater.

And for racechick ... cutout's happen to be the most common and proven best bang for the buck mod you can do on an exhaust system. Other than open headers, a cutout will flow more and provide more performance than any other exhaust mod.

As for an A/M Y-pipe. Unless you get it sans cats, it really will not do you much good. Besides the guy's getting hooker L/Ts and already has a loudmouth ... the cutout should be good for 4-5 more ponies in this set up.

As far as the N20 ... wet or dry you should be able to handle 100 shot fine. Work with someone who has some experience and make sure your A/F R is a little rich. A MAFT might be a good investment along with Scanmaster.

Good Luck

I will use a wet kit because i have a dyno and it does nto matter as well as i will be getting the ls1 edit program at the same time so i will be able to control and get it right. I really need to know about the fidanza flyweel as well as how much the electric cut outs weigh and also wether or not the 6.0 l truck block will bolt up to my tranny
