I bought a used kit and opened it up to find a .032 fuel and a .046 N2O. I found a Jet calculator and it said with 40 psi of fuel pressure and 900 psi bottle pressure it would be just over 160 hp at the wheels. Is this right?

 

We have to know what brand n2o setup you are using. Different companies have different jetting sizes for horse power levels. If it is NOS that would put you a little bit over 100hp shot.

 

well its Compucar solenoids and a NOS fogger nozzle and bottle

 

Nitrous is nitrous, fuel is fuel, and it doesn't matter who's parts are used to get it into the engine. Some companies will rate horsepower at the wheels, some at the engine (which is the correct way, IMO) which means that if you just read their marketing literature, then yes it appears as if different jet sizes make the same power on different vendors' kits.

So am i looking at 100 hp set of jets

 

Depends on the bottle pressure. But at 1000psi a 32 jet is ~100hp. The fuel jet is a little big, but richer is safer and doesn't cost much hp anyway.

So this would be a good setup for a first time user? I wanted to spray her for my last race until spring.

 

Sounds fine to me, however YMMV!

I think there may have been some confusion . Its a .032 fuel and a .046 N2O. Not a .032 N2O

Whats YMMV?
