Have nitrous...will win.

Plus it's just soooo Fast and Furious.

N20 has been out long before Fast and Furious. The applications have grown much better with delivery, safety, etc. You don't even get pure N20 anymore, they mix it with sulfur because people were abusing it... It is something like 100ppm. It's not medical grade by any means, but its still N20.

Just because you have nitrous doesn't mean you will win. I've beaten my share of nitrous driven cars in my 89 rx7, and won, it wasn't turbo'd either.

Lol... superchargers, turbochargers, and nitrous all do the same thing, increase cylinder pressure and allow you to burn more fuel. Period.

People just have bad vibe with nitrous. If you know what you are doing it's extremely safe and doesn't have the constant strain on the motor that a s/c produces. Don't go crazy and drop a 200 shot in a stock block, but a 100-150 shot will be fine with a good tune.

oh wait I was thinking about the LSx platform, not sure what an LLT would hold in stock form... 75? 100?

11SynergyGr&Bl · 05-18-2011, 08:55 PM

I believe the 11.9sec v6 is running 125shot without a tune atm. I could be wrong about the tune.

Amarr014 · 05-18-2011, 08:56 PM

Not everyone wants or can afford a v8.... Nitrous is sick and will be going in my v6, its just lower on the list of mods for me... If you do it right and read up on it, the v6 can definitely handle it without breaking.. but ya it does void the warranty so it wont be going on my car for awhile since i havent even gotten to 1000 miles yet

Oh, I know it's been around long before F&F...it's just that when I hear "NOS" I think "Idiot kid driving a ricer." I know that's not always the case, but there ya have it.

Correct. No tune

No matter what you do nitrous will always hurt an engine. If you go nitrous do a wet shot.

black79ta · 05-18-2011, 10:47 PM

i have always figured if i was going to blow a motor, i wanted to do it the old fashioned way...foot on the floor, not a thumb on a button...jmo

...?

Nitrous is probably more reliable than going f/i if you know what you're doing..

There's a handful of us v6ers with nitrous. Check out the v6 f/i section to find good info and to ask question, so you don't get a bunch of spam about blowing your motor up or "should get a v8" garbage.

Also check out the v6 bolt-on section for everything else (exhaust, intakes, headers, etc).

Sounds like you need to do some research yourself. You can start with "throttle position sensor" TPS

black79ta · 05-19-2011, 10:35 PM

I've done all the research i need to on this subject...no nitrous for me. i would do a blower...just my preferences

I didn't know there were rules how people can mod their cars...and that certain mods would be "cheating".

Going with a 125 shot or less on a stock v6 engine will be ok. Tune with window switch and you should be good if you do everything correct and safely.
