I have a '98 SS with 45k on it....I've been interested in nitrous for a while now and am thinking about gettign it...I want a dry kit...how safe is it for my motor? would a window switch be the way to go? How does the window switch work? And just basic motor durability question...thanks Greg

 

Hi Greg,
I just looked at your sig, and you have a good amount of mods there. If you were to go with a dry kit I would suggest that you also upgrade your injectors too, and maybe a new pump depending on how much you want to spray. Nitrous in general is very safe, as long as you use the proper safety equipment and don't go pushing a bigger and bigger shot, which is easy to do, trust me on that. Yes, go with a window switch for sure. You'll set the window switch to come on at a certain RMP and turn off at a certain one. That way you can't spray it at too low of a RPM or while you are shifting (even though you are a M6, it still happens). Just to let you know, we are having a 15% off dry kits and 10% off wet. It's posted over in the Supporting Vendor Group Purchases and Sales section. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Matt

 

will i need to upgrade anything if i'm just wanting a 75 shot...maybe a little more?

 

Do you know how much you are making to the rear wheels? You MIGHT sneak by on a 75 shot, but anything over, IMO it's time for injectors and a fuel pump.

Now if you go wet, well that will be another story. No need for injectors, and you'll be borderline for the pump, which I would do if it was my car. Let me know if you have any other questions.

Thanks,
Matt

 

i have 382.4 rwhp...i'd def. go with your advice....whats are the pro's and con's with wet vs. dry kits?

 

The pros and cons, a few off the top of my head:

Dry:
Most people will need larger injectors, since going with larger injectors on a LSX you'll also need a new tune, could be slightly harder to tune the A/F (no fuel jet, has to be done via Edit or HP tuners) the N2O hit won't be as hard as say with a wet (the fuel and nitrous do not atomize), no risk of backfires in the intake (somewhat rare, but it happens from time to time).

Wet:
No need for larger injectors, harder hit as the fuel and nitrous do atomize, easier to tune A/F if you need to (you can play with different size fuel jets, but you'll more then likely still tune a bit with edit), maintence will be slightly higher since you now have two solenoids.

Each way is good, it just depends on what you want to do with the car.

 

if all you want is a 75 shot than I would get your injectors tested. You really don't want anything to happen. But on the other hand you said your at 382rwhp so with 75 more on top of that, your going to be pushing them as far as duty cycle. I would look into 30's or 32/36's if you want to go big with juice.

 

Wet is much easier to tune, a little harder to install. I'd go wet.
