I would think a 150 shot shouldn't be a problem if set up correctly. A aftermarket fuel pump, a way to pull timing, and some TR7 (BR7EF) plugs should be in the mix too.

here's what you would want to do to be safe , have your car tuned properly , run 1 to 2 steps colder on your spark plugs because they turn into a blow torch when the nitrous sprays lol, you need u need some kind of ign box that will retard timimng when the n2o is activated, also run at least 1 to 2 steps fatter on the fuel jet to be on the safe side till you get your timing retard correct for your 150 shot, if i was you i would run some kind of a booster inline fuel pump , to make sure u stay at the correct AFR and fuel pressure threwout the whole run and rpm range , you can use a 1992-95 ford f-150 with a efi v-8.the fuel pump that mounts on the frame of those trucks for a cheap booster fuel pump . that pump will more than supply enough fuel and pressure for your 150 shot

, good luck with your nitrous, your probably going to want 6-8 deg total timing retard for your 150 shot , also what kind of rotating assembly are you running , stock rebuild, or stock crank, rods and forged pistons?

To work at it's peak it would be nice to have the Hotwire kit too. I have the same pump. If you tune through your pcm for the nitrous it's going to be a dog off the bottle. Your better off with a good ign. box. I consider a bottle heater a must have also. You need the bottle at the same pressure every time you spray so that your tune stays the same.

This statement is the worse advice given. Extra fuel in a nitrous motor is not safe and will take the tension out of the rings. You can get away with a lot on small tunes and most nitrous companies recommended starting point is all ready rich. I run the same afr on nitrous as I do on motor.


I have even been leaner on nitrous and didn't hurt anything. But pulling timing is important.

A mallory 685 is an excellant box which comes with a window switch, 2 step, rev limiter, and timing retard during nitrous usage.
