I like those gauges, very stealthy looking.

Thanks! Yeah I was trying for the same color. Top is Glowshift NOS gauge. Bottom is Innovate LC-2 digital AFR Wideband. Both sporting a blue display. I did not hook up the dimmer feature on either of them, but i don't find either of them distracting at all when driving at night. They are both pretty tame to look at.

Big thank you to IneedAZ - who has answered a bunch of questions for me via PMs, and also to everyone else who has put their knowledge and experiences up here on this forum. Thanks all!

I moved my purge to the center of the grill. I have the heritage grill. Looks pretty cool when i purge. Here's a link to a video when i was depressurizing the system of NOS.

Congrats on getting it all set up. Glowshift makes some cool gauges. I have the Elite 10 in mine and love them.

Ok so today I swapped out my plugs for Brisk Silver Racing Spark Plugs - 084-RR14S. Plugs are specifically designed for forced induction applications. Thanks to some great forum members for recommending these plugs to me. Car has 38,000 miles. Stock plugs looked like crap. Glad i swapped them out for the Brisk plugs. Gapped them at 35.

Also switched my NOS / Fuel jets for the 75HP shot. Just got back from doing 3 runs.
All I can say is WOW! That's more like what i was expecting! I was underwhelmed with the 50 shot runs i did yesterday. But the 75 shot pushed me back into my seat! I can see already that this will be very addicting! Automatic grin from ear to ear!

I'm running 93 Octane. I also dumped a can of Royal Purple Max-Boost Octane Booster into the tank upon fill-up. Says it raised Octane by 30 points - or 3 octane. So from 93 to 96. I don't have a tune yet that retards timing so i figured it was a good safety measure against pre-detonation.

Also swapped out the NOS power switch that came with my EmblemPros switch plate for the stock Ny-Trex switch. The other switch was too easily accidentally engaged. The stock switch looks pretty bad-ass anyway.

Think i'm gonna go with an IPF tune. They said they would make a tune file for me that pulls timing, so i figure i'll first get their Non-NOS tune, and then another tune for NOS that pulls timing, and i'll switch back and forth as needed (the ipf tune module loads tunes pretty quickly). I only use the Nitrous on the weekend anyway.

Waiting for my remote bottle opener to arrive. Should be here by next week. Bought the Nitrous Express Remote Bottle Valve Openers 15966.

Gonna pick up a heater next payday. Gonna go with DEI Accu-Pressure Bottle Heater 120040.

Here's a pic of my Emblempros custom switch panel - with the power switch swapped out for the stock Ny-Trex switch.

Can also look at Green Trail Accelerator or Boostane for some real octane booster. Those will put u over 100 octance.
