I'm currently running a 55 dry shot with my blower at 15-16psi. LPE twin pumps. Everything done by Jannetty. It's on a WOT switch so it's on the entire pass. Once I can get the traction and suspension dialed in we are going to up the nitrous.

Not the case. MAF curve needs rebuilt. Timing needs corrected. Trans, yull kill it with more power and no tuning. O2 sensors do not correct at WOT I don't care what you were told. Call Ted Jannetty or any reputable experienced tuner and have a 5 minute conversation.

Bottom line, You either need a wet kit and a timing controller, or a dry kit and a tune.

Good luck.
This is not "MY" theory. This is the basis for dry nitrous systems that was going on long before me.

Jesus.....I was looking for a rookie like me to post about their dry system. You sir are already "A few notches above". If I cant much feel the 50, how can you notice 55 at all?

Ha!! I can't feel the 55 at all. I needed to get a little kick and the blower was maxed out.

Ok, made 2 pulls on the 75 jet. Still stock spark plugs, Hypertech tune, no cats, K&N intake. Getting on the freeway I let it get into third and wind up a little bit. Armed the system and punched it, Remember WOT switch activated. Holy Shit! I felt this one pretty good. It hit pretty hard for being a dry shot, Im sure the downshift helped. I Let it rag out one gear and shift. Nice and strong.....No pinging, sounded like a ****in NASCAR. 2nd pull was on the way home from dinner. Did an 80-135 pull and got there quick, ( on a closed legal road of course). Loving this stuff. Going for the 100 tomorrow with a couple changes.

You could wire it to use both.that way it would require wot and you also pressing the activate button.

Update on dry system:
Have run 5 pounds through it, got it refilled. Everything doing great so far. Dynotune said they would upgrade me to a wet kit for only 100 bucks. With that and one step colder plugs I could safely move to the 100 shot. LNC 2000 will be needed to go 150 after that, maybe retard 4 degrees they say.

Happy spraying!

I have been running nitrous for a while now and I would have to say running a hot plug will cause detonation. With any shot of nitrous detonation is bad. I wouldn't run anymore nitrous on stock irridiums until you get colder plugs. Its fun until you blow a motor because you didnt change 14 bucks in plugs. My .02.

I thought all was fine on my last car. Until all at once it wasn't running right. Pulled plugs, they were melted. Changed plugs and still wasn't right. Ended up that plugs got so hot they partially melted the exhaust valves. Never saw an AFR higher than 11.5. Was just too warm of a plug.

Thanks guys......this information is useful for everyone to see. I have installed the colder plugs and 104 octane booster. 100 jet is in. One pull from 70 to 110 to just 2 or three seconds it seemed like. I have only done short bursts like this to try thinks out and see how she does. The guy at NAPA I bought the colder plugs from has an 04 ZO6 and has used nitrous for years. I also am on a direct email link with dynotune, so I have been getting quality communication and feedback as well as on here. Still going to be very conservative with use untill I get the timing retarder and an AFR meter.
