CAM,
it would be good to know about how much of a shot you would like to run, and also your current mods. Sorry for the ignorant member, we're not all like that.

Thanks
No need to apologize for him. And yes when it comes to nitrous I dont know much as for the shot I was told that the car should be able to handle a 100 shot and staying in the safety margin. I think that NOS and NX express is big and nitrous works is a smaller company judjing by their web sites. someone also told me that the wet system is a safer system by not relying on the computer to bump up fuel pressure. What i didnt mention before is that I have the hypertech power programmer installed if that makes a difference....Thanks Again Phil

LT1s should be good up to 150 if you do it right. You should get a Fuel pressure safety switch, WOT switch, Window switch(controls what RPM it sprays between), and also change your spark plugs to a few heat ranges colder than stock. I dont know too much about the individual nitrous systems, so maybe someone else can chime in with their experiences.

I personally prefer the wet system, but both systems work really well. Do a fuel pressure test before you spray, make sure the pump is still in good shape, and invest in a fuel pressure safety switch.

With an attitude like that, your days here are numbered. You have been warned.

I ran the NOS 5176 dry kit for 5 years, at 125-150HP, with no problems. Currently running a dry setup ar close to 300HP. Nothing wrong with dry systems, as long as they are correctly set up.
I would at least look at the various kits from NX, NOS and TNT. Also, there are a few "nitrous" online writeups for beginners.

I wasn't tyring to be a jerk. There is just such a wealth of information on this board as well as countless others. For every 1 message I post here, Ive probably read 100. Just read the N20 forums. Another great website I found was:

Wow everyone here is great
Just want to say thanks for all the great info i learned alot in these to days I'm still undecided I really like nos because they have a long history, and now I'm not so scared of a dry system. I was freaking out because of the fuel issue if it didnt match the nitro shot. Thats why I kept leaning towards the wet. Any more info is always appreciated, I now know that I have to remove the power programmer for the nitrous. I just hope that I dont need it with the cam being installed as I write this, Its a comp cam 503 224/230...Again thanks
