Awesome, thanks for the info, but to answer your questions:

I believe it would be a wet system. If I read the other posts correctly a wet system mixes the fuel and the N2O together through a valve. Like the Zex kit spraying from the intake plumbing after the MAF. Correct? This is how mine will be set up I believe.

A wet system is safe at if you plan on sporting more then a 100 shot. A wet shot sprays nitrous and fuel at the same time.

If you want it all right and done correctly, depending on if you in stalk or jot, you're looking at 2-3k.

do a lil research on ls1tech.com nitrous section. tons of info.


200-250 and below plate kit. window switch /wot switch. some have both in 1. a lnc2000 for timnig and thats a good start . u will like it . the tq from sprayin vs blowers and the weight u save vs blowers makes a good diff in our cars. its a lil more work to use nitrous but the benifits are great.

i have a 90mm hsw kit, lnc2000 and nos launcher on mine. and making 625+rwhp and close to 675 rwtq. stock fuel pump . i changed my fuel rails tho cause i was getting a lean spike a first part of the hit. that fixed it.

i run a 100 shot most of the time tho. just cause u dont go thur a bottle as fast. but with the setup i mentioned u can change timing and all u need to run diff shots and dont have to get it tuned everytime u turn around.

Sweet! Great info, thank you.

I'm running the Zex system. I use a 90mm plate,150 shot, nitrous outlet switch panel, Zex purge, Zex bottle heater, remote bottle opener, and a nitrous gauge. I'm in this for around 1200 bucks I believe.

The Zex system controls fuel and only activates under wide open throttle if there is sufficient bottle pressure, sufficient fuel, and TPS is at WOT. The system has all that functionality built in without having to get seperate modules. The bonus is the bottle is purple and looks better than the rest of the kits.

Though I dont know much about nitrous and the tuning for it. If you really are trying to squeeze all the power you can, and be safe, Id highly recommend going to an experienced tuner after the kit is installed, you would probably pick up some decent power with a pro tune, instead of doing it yourself.

Yeah that's the one thing after the hours of reading since this post that I noticed with Zex. Their systems seem to be all together and work to control the things you mentioned. I really dig their direct port system. Although I'd have to purchase a Fast LSXr intake to make it work and that's another $900. Tempting since it seems to be the most accurately injected method, or at least one of the better methods.

Thanks again!

You're absolutely correct. I know without a doubt dialing the car in via a professional tune would harness every bit of power within reason while maintaining safety. I was more curious if I would be able to use the general guide in pulling timing, that way I could install the kit myself, pull out timing, and get the car running to test without a tune. But you're right, I'm into my car almost $53K now and would hate to spend a grand or two only to blow it up!

I'd like 100+ preferably 150hp so I just wanted to make sure this is a good idea or not. Never used Nitrous and I know there are those that don't like it. Just wondering what the pros and cons are.

And thanks for the info.

How are your engine's internals? Are they forged? What is the "weak link"? It might be able to handle a 150 hp blast just fine but I'd make sure before adding FI system and I doubt you'll be able to do everything you need for $600. Coyote owners are finding their blocks can handle 900 hp just fine....but the rods can't. Good luck and keep your chin up.

Thanks Lemmy. I planned on spending close to $2k but saw that the Zex was $600 for the kit, realizing there are more component upgrades needed to make it all work properly and safely. My motor has stock pistons, crank, but has GM Performance heads, TSP Cam, Comp Springs and Rods, and I believe the trunions /rockers are stock. Also my timing chain and tensioner are stock as well. Hope that's ok. I"ve been reading where the LS3 seems to handle 150 shot fine and some guys running 200 on stock without a problem. So I think I'm definitely going to buy a kit, either Zex or Nitrous Outlet.

Thanks.

Do not irk the nitrous guys for attention. Pull 2 degrees per 50 shot. Look at the Nitrous Outlet total package for the Camaro to get an idea of what components are available. Nice kit and the N.O. guys are very helpful. You do not need every item to make a system work. But be careful where you cut corners. Fuel would be a concern. BAP or more may be needed depending on the shot size. Search the FI section, there are a lot of responses for people that are new to nitrous. We all were once and can always learn something.

here is the kit that I went with just waiting for my fuel cell to come in
