Maximum shot with basic NX LT1 kit (no pills)
Maximum shot with basic NX LT1 kit (no pills)
Just out of curiousity...
What approximate HP would you get from running the lines from the N2O and fuel noids directly to the nozzle with no pills? Obviously it would be rich since the fuel is always less than the N2O with the pill setup, but I'm just curious what kind of HP the noids themselves can flow...
Thanks.

It would depend on the size of the solenoid, right? I assume that the reason the basic kit is rated at 150hp is that this is all the nitrous the solenoid can flow.
Just a guess though.

I have no experience with this but the Shark Nozzle is supposed to be capable of flowing ~250hp.... The Solenoid supplied in the Standard LT1/LS1 systems is also *Supposedly* capable of ~250hp.
This is just what I was told awhile back by Brian.

Since the normal line going to the solenoids is -3AN, that's 0.120" ID, or a 120 jet size. This will support 1700lbs/hour (572hp) if you could adequately atomize the fuel and deliver the mixture to the cylinders.

You would never be able to measure it cause it would blow up before you had a chance. The nitrous solenoid is capable of 300 hp, and the fuel even more, but there would be no metering device if no jets were used. The orifices in the shark nozzle are both the same size. So obviously you would go very lean. You would be able to inject alot more nitrous through the same size orifice at 1000psi! The nozzle would still atomize the nitrous and the fuel. The jets dont have anything to do with that. But nitrous to fuel ratio would be way off.
OK, then if the nitrous solenoid is capable of 300HP, if I left a pill in that line that limits to 300hp, what pill should I use in the fuel line, to match the full flow of the N2O noid?

Why would you want to do that? Is this theoretical? Or do you really want to do it. It would work much better to do it with 2 solenoids. Thats alot of power to put out of 1 nozzle. Not saying it couldnt be done, but could run into alot of problems. Im sure I could figure out what jets would be needed. But it takes a little time, for just an argument. It could be done, and would work ok, but you would be maxing the nozzle out. I would always want to run something in the "middle" of its zone, if you understand what Im trying to say. Maxing stuff out, can sometimes casue you problems.
It's 1/2 and 1/2, theory and possibility of use. I'd mainly like to know what the noid's limit is, for my future buildup... but also am curious if I can get my car to hook, I might try something crazy like a 300 shot on the stock engine to help me rebuild sooner. 
What do you believe the nozzle's effective limit to be?
Thanks for the reply!
