Any help s appreciated. I knowthat n2o can be helpful if used the correct way. I just need to find out what to not do when useing it.

 

DO NOT order your kit from Excessive Motorsports!

You definitely do not want to run more than a 150 shot without upgrading your internals. Other than getting really specific I don't know what else to tell you. Are you planning on running a wet or dry system? How much power are you gonna use? When are you gonna use it?

thats my page, go to basics and click the links, u will learn.

 

Do NOT hit the Nitrous under 3K rpms...

Do NOT run lean running Nitrous...

Do NOT tell yourself "What is another 50 horpower...it is taking 150 just fine"...

Do NOT just buy a base kit and think that is all that is needed to run it safely...

and finally...

Do Not call it NAAUUSSSS! NOS is the brand, not the drug .

 

DO NOT hit the stock rev limiter..............

 

Don't leave home with out your windo switch.
Don't let your fuel psi drop off.
when you over speed don't let fuel get cut before nitrous oxide.
Your insane if you run only the base kit.

 

Don't leave home without it.

 

what do you guys mean when you say "your insane if you onlyrun a base kit" ? what else is needed, I just wanna know cuz I am about to use nitrous on my 00 SS
thanks for your help

They mean spend the few extra bucks on the safety features, like a Window Switch, Fuel Pressure safety switch, gages are nice and things like a purge and remote opener are COOL!

 

You will want to run colder plugs, a window switch, a fuel pressure safety switch, a retard control box, and probably an aftermarket ignition. An MSD Digital 6 will handle the last 2 I listed. Granted, nothing will make any power adder safe to run, but it will increase the odds for a long and fruitful life of the motor.

Other things that are nice to have are the bottle heater (mandatory this time of year), remote bottle opener (depending on the location of your bottle), and a purge system. If you race at a track that enforces the rules, you will be required to run a blow down tube that is designed to exhaust the Nitrous outside of the passenger compartment in the event the bottle pressure is too high for the bottle. Most blow off valves are somewhere around 2000 psi I think. I beleive all of these come in an add on kit Gen-X II (with the exception of the remote opener).

 

yeah i have been wanting to a a n2o kit for the longest, but gotta save up just in case.. i dont have the greatest luck in the world, as soon as i buy one something will go wrong.. it is just my luck..
as soon as i do you guys will be hearing from me..cant beat people here just so welcome to help out..kinda brings a tear to my eye...

You don't need an aftermarket ignition... thats for the LT1 guys. But in addition to the colder plugs,bottle heater, purge kit, fuel safety shutoff switch, filter, and ect., try running the highest octane gas possible (i.e. 100, 103 octane) so you dont have to worry about retarding your timming.
