question about fitting size upgrade i have a question concerning the fitting sizes on my nitrous express kit.
i have a full weight 01 ss camaro w/ forged 346 h/c full suspension on a 150 shot... my current best is a 10.67 @ 125... anywho i feel as if i have about maxed out my nitrous system... any pill increse is not yielding results...
i have a nitrous solenoid with a .125 outlet orifice... it has a -4 feed to the solenoid, with a -4 stepped down to a -3 feed to the nozzle... this sis the same for the nitrous and fuel solenoids... i do not know the orifice size off hand for the fuel solenoid.
my question now is, can i run a -4 line feed to the nozzle instead of a -3 to flow more nitrous/ fuel??? i feel as if a .125 orifice can flow more nitrous than the -3 line can support...seems like this might be an easy way to get a little more out of my system before resorting to bigger solenoids that may need the line size increase anyways...
any help would be appreciated... thanks

A -3AN hose maxes out around 175hp. You will need an SHO hose for the nozzle to do over 200hp. We custom make all our hoses in house so we could make whatever length with either red, blue or black hose ends.

The Nitrous Outlet .125 Nitrous solenoid is good to 400hp.
Line size should not affect the jetting but maybe the time it takes to fill and flow hose will give a slight delay. But fuel @ 50-60psi is still gonna be slower than nitrous @ 1000psi.
