Got a N.O.S. kit, what to do???????!
I just got my NOS Brand nitrous kit. Going to be doing an install in a month or so since the cars up for winter. My question is what will i need to do to make sure everythign is safe with the motor i mean. probably be running 100-150 shot. The motor is stock, and just has bolt-ons. What kind of plugs to you guys suggest and i plan on getting a tune from madz28.com. What kind of gap do i need to set for the plugs and do i have to pull them regularly? Because we all know how much of a bitch it is to get them out. SOrry for so many questions but just don't want to screw anything up.

Re: Got a N.O.S. kit, what to do???????!
I use NGK Tr-6 plugs, and also have a tune. I run a Malory 685 ignition box which lets you retard your timeing when the nitrous hits, so you dont have to have the timeing retarded thru a tune. As far making it safe make sure you have the following:
1. Window switch- MSD makes a good one but if you have the Mallory ignition box it has one built in. 2. Fuel Pressure Safety Switch- I know you can get them thru Nitro Dave here on the board ( http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/ ), it will cut the nitrous off if the fuel pressure runs too low. I also have an air-fuel, fuel pressure and a nitrous pressure gauge mounted on my a-pillar to make sure everything is ok. The air-fuel really isnt that accurate but if i had the money i'd go with a Wide-band o-2 set up to make sure i dont run lean. I'm still pretty new to the whole nitrous thing but i've tried to do it right. Also do you have an lt-1 or an ls-1? and is the kit a dry kit or a wet kit? |

It's an LT-1 w/ 66,000 miles. I'll be running a wet-kit.

another thing you can do is get it tuned on a dyno with the nitrous, I personally think that its a waste to tune a basically stock car on the dyno, but after you install the kit its best to make sure that your car isnt going to freak out when you hit the nitrous.

Take it to someone who knows what they are doing. Newbies + Nitrous= BLOWN MOTOR!!! Also mail order tunes are only good if you run nitrous all the time.
