seen lots of LS1's spraying 150 shots all day long. seen a couple with dual stage systems, one being 150 on the first and 75 on the second (225hp on stock system)! i would say the 150 won't hurt anything.

 

damn thats a huge shot........

 

i say......ummm ZERO! Damn LS-1's are fast enough!

 

You guys are nuts ive got had 3 LS1 motors in the shop blown up with 150 setups, DONE right, with fuel pumps etc. These guys that are running 150+ are overfueling thei car or not or not giving it as much nitrous as they think. How many miles an hour does the car pickup in the 1/4 N/A vs gas?

Reason why the 86-92 mustangs could take it well is because they had lots less compression and mainly, they werent running on hypereutectic pistons. 150 is the absolute highest I would go, and that wouldbe with perfect fuel delivery. THere on up its not a question of detonatin breaking things up, its the pure cylinder pressure that wil blow ringlands out.

 

im definetly staying with my 100.......until heads and cam

 

yeah 150 shot..............but get TNT
haha j/k henry

 

tnt


NX

 

i have an NX kit and love it, but i am curious to know what is bad about TNT's kit? i have heard they have good kits.

 

TNT supposidly over jets there shots to get more power ie a tnt 100shot will net you more power than brand Xs 100 shot. In actualyality a lot of the companies advertised shots give you more power than advertised. I've seen TnT, NX, and nitrous works dyno sheets and all of them net a bill at wheels(threw a manual) give or take a few on an advertised 100 shot which comes to be more like a 120 shot.

 

well i know nx rates their shots at rear wheels.......

 

yeah nx rates at the rear wheels, and TNT does too, right?

 

I'll touch base on a couple things here:

The max generally accepted is a 150hp system, and its recommended you upgrade the fuel pump (Injectors are in no way necessary on a wet system). Even at this level you should be financially prepared if something breaks. If you can't afford it to break, I wouldn't use Nitrous at all. I've seen as much as 200hp used on a stock short block, for more then just a couple times (George Debski comes directly to mind).

As far as the NX vs. TNT thing......

I think both systems are high quality and you can't go wrong either way. You should make an informed decision though and realize that Mathematically a TNT Jet map uses a larger Nitrous jet, and the same or smaller Fuel jet then a comparable Nitrous Express setting. This doesn't take anything away from TNT, just that it doesn't really make more power then an NX system.

For the most part, a Nitrous system is like a computer. Ever heard the saying "$#it in $#!t out"? X amount of Nitrous in the engine will make X amount of hp, given the correct amount of fuel is present. There are issues of atomization etc, but you aren't gonna notice any of that stuff in a simple Sportsman system like you'll normally be dealing with.

Good luck! And keep it civil boys or I'll have to throw the padlock on this one.
