well the motor is an all forged 383 with about 11.5 to 1 compression, and le3 heads cam and ported intake with all the supporting mods, m6 rebuild with a spec 3 clutch and a strange 12 bolt

im looking at a nitrous kit, looking to start out with a 100 shot, possibly a 150 but no more than that, should i go wet or dry?? and which brand should i go with? will i need a computer to pull the timing? what else do i need that doesn't come in the "kit"?

 

wet, nitrous outlet. I have spoke to Ray and Dave before, both stand up guys.

LT1 pcm's cant keep with a dry kit, so every kit raises the fuel pressure to add the extra fuel. Not a good idea in my book, our stock injectors were never meant to operate that way.

Give n2o outlet a call, they will figure out what kit will best fit your needs/goals.

 

That's why you switch to a pintle style injector. I doubt he would be running stock injectors with the engine he's building anyway.

For a small shot (up to 150), I've found the NOS fuel pressure control to be adequate. But you aren't going to hit the tune exactly, so you tend to need to run it a bit on the rich side to prevent problems. Go wet, and you face the issue of getting uniform fuel delivery to all 8 cylinders...... and the way you solve that problem is to run a bit on the rich side, to protect the leanest cylinder. There are +'s and -'s of both systems. Direct port solves it all on a wet system. Using an aftermarket ECU can make a dry system work well.

You won't need a computer to pull timing - you optimize the tune for running on straight motor, and use an external retard box to handle the timing adjustment when spraying. I like the MSD Digital 6, but there are others that work as well.

As far as what is in the kits, the name brands tend to be a little bit skimpy with the accessories you need to run safely. Check the "stickies" at the top of the page for guidelines on what is recommended. Buy your kit from a knowledgable source (e.g. - Supporting Vendors) and they will helpyou fill in the missing parts.

 

Well put.....
