not sure why theres so much hate for nitrous on this forum..maybe too many fast and furious movies? I put a retarded amount of nitrous thru my LS1 4th gen..llike..40-50 pounds the first week i had my kit! I dont see how its any more dangerous then bolting on a supercharger to an engine that doesent come with one from the factory,but yet everybody hear gets hard over a "bolt on" blower. I dont really get it..i had window switch,wideband,proper plugs and proper tune..sold my car with a tick over 150K miles and god only knows how many bottles of nitrous thru it..

are u serious what would u say is better. might want to check the fast list on just about any forum or racing 75% of the fastest cars will be nitrous cars. u see most on this forum run blowers but also see most of the 5th gens on this forum run a small shot . 250 shot or more is where anyone running a forged motor and looking to go fast will run at least.
a 100 shot will get me 100+ rwhp and 135-150 rwtq if not more. plus u not adding 300 lbs to a alrdy heavy car. u also can run a 200 shot on a stock bottom end. nitrous is popular for the 2 reasons its makes crazy power and its cheaper . cause i see them shreading belts like its nothing most of the time or something else . but i guess thats free.

Can't say I ever heard of this plan. I can afford a new engine but sure in hell don't want to buy one. The car has a rev limiter so how can nitrous damage the engine other than running to many RPM's? Educate me please.

You'll prob just as prone to blowing something up running 16 psi and you would be spraying a 150 shot. Expect anything and everything at the dragstrip. Sometimes just leaving the track with nothing broken is a gd day.

So, with that being said, come this fall if I have a problem the shit will get real bad real fast.


I had a backfire with a 55 shot last year. Sounded like my Labrador farted!

It would seem like you wouldn't be able to shift fast enough to keep from red lining. What kind of feel is it when the nitrous opens? I want that "push me back in the seat" feeling where you can really feel the G's. How about sound, is there any sound difference when the nitrous opens?

If you have a purge system where did you mount the purge nozzle? If you have any advice please lay it on me.




Russ

Russ, I have the Hex dry kit I'm currently using. The nozzle in post maf in the intake tube. No purge, and its wot so once I nail it the nitrous is on until I cross the traps. Still playing with the 55/65 shots right now, having some traction issues mainly in 2nd gear. I don't fell the shot at all.

Detonation, burned and damaged pistons/valves, piston ring lands damaged, wrong plugs, not pulling timing, poor tune, lean afr, bad gas, faulty fuel solenoid are some. You do not rely on the factory tune rev limit, it will cut gas, not good. Your window switch is used so that you spray between certain rpms. Such as 3k to 6300 rpm. Therefore, your nitrous shuts off before you reach your rev limiter value, which you can hit fairly quickly when your spraying and loose traction. The window switch works in conjuction with your wot switch or tps signal, so you only spray during wot and between the rpms you want. You can custom tune to cut spark instead of fuel. If you use an LNC 2000 it has an upper rev limit that cuts spark. The LNC 2000 is used to retard timing. It can be activated by the window switch. So, one scenerio is get your n/a tune correct. Get a wet system, tune the afr with the fuel jet, use a window switch with tps signal, an LNC2000 pull timing and colder plugs. Check out Nitrous Outlet, they have a total package plate system for the camaro. It will give you an idea of what you need.

Good info. OP, speak with Neal at Nitrous Outlet. Nitrous is his job so he is much better informed then us clowns. He's great to talk to and super helpful. He'll will be able to fit a system for your needs.

badbubba very good explaining things. nitrous can be fairly safe if u use the right stuff. but it dont take but one mishap. as supercharged ss said a day at the track is a good day when nothing breaks. most cars that run good times usally will have a problem or 2 almost every outting. just nature of the beast. how bad of the problem is just what makes or brakes it lol

this is why most dont like nitrous bad info like this. nitrous has come a long way in the last 5-10 years . its not just push a button and hope all goes well lots of things to monitor and prevent a backfire.

Only if those people don't have a clue what they are doing.
todays systems if done correctly the risk goes WAY down from what it was many years ago.
computers are a wonderful thing.

OP if you do it do it right.. aux fuel system dedicated to the NO2 setup and have someone that knows what they are doing tune it and set it up for you.
