I will be using the NX Proton kit, with NANO, a remote bottle opener, with a LPE timing controller. I plan on spraying a 75-100 shot (Depending on 1/4 mph) in 2nd and 3rd.

When I get my TPiS 90mm snout, I will go with a plate kit.

Atleast you were nice about it lol
I just pm'ed a member about his setup. I think my question is maybe too vague. Who would I need to talk to to spc me a nitrous cam and what benefits would I get over the stock dod cam?

I've seen the nano, sounds legit didn't know if it would actually be worth its value. I'm used to seeing most ppl have the mini torch to up the pressure. Please forgive my ignorance, but who is PAT G and how do I get in contact with him? If I may ask David how much are you planning to spend on the nitrous setup with those components listed?

You really dont need a nitrous cam for 150 shot. Nano is something youll have to research, its great in the cooler weather but summer tiem you WILL have to ice your bottle down. Hence the reason I sold my nano setup.

From what I have read; NANO is the way to go. NANO allows twice the usage and doesn't need heat or a 1050psi bottle pressure. You will make more power with the same shot jetting, and the power will stay consistent.

Heat is NANO's enemy, so care must be used in the summer. My bottle will be in a cool shaded trunk during the summer. Bottle temps shouldn't be above 85* which is monitored with a special hyper color decal/lable provided by NANO.

I plan to spray as safe as possible by using:

- Adjustable Fuel pressure safety switch Comes in Gen X accessory kit I will set the FPSS to open@50 psi

-Window switch http://www.zex.com/zx/nitrous-add-on...ml?___store=zx
2nd gear starts at 4500 end at 6200 3rd start at 4500 end at 5200

-BN7E plugs gapped .032-.035" http://www.jegs.com/i/NGK-Spark-Plug...BR7EF/10002/-1

-Throttle position sensor switch Comes in Proton EFI kit

-Wideband http://www.innovatemotorsports.com/products/db.php

-LNC-2000 launch control box from LPE. http://www.lingenfelter.com/mm5/merc...Store_Code=LPE
I will pull 4-6* with a 100 shot to start out with. (20-22 total timing)

Nitrous goodies:

- Proton kit http://nitrousexpress.com/product-details.php?id=1487
- Accessory package http://nitrousexpress.com/product-details.php?id=1356 Selling the bottle heater kit
- NANO http://www.nanonitrous.com/3000universal.shtml


Read the stickies in the nitrous oxide section in LS1tech. There is a lot of good info in there! Learn as much as you can before spending any money.

http://www.nitrousexpress.com/about.php Here is some good reading about NX. If you decide to contact the company ask for Trey.

Make sure you read your sprark plugs. It is important to use fresh plugs when making a pass or dyno pull when tuning.

Cylinder #7 seems to be the one who likes eat spark plugs from the lack of a coolant crossover, so if you plan on spraying over 75hp; add one. https://ls1tech.com/forums/nitrous-o...t-stumped.html

Years ago on my Camaro, I used an FJO 2-stage progressive controller with a built-in WOT switch. Awesome little piece; absolutely loved it.

Yeah, get the cam for the cam's sake if you want it. Nitrous cams have more exhaust duration relative to intake duration like supercharger cams, but a straight N/A cam would probably suit you better unless all you did with the car was run nitrous at the track.

I will be getting with Pat really soon and I truly appreciate how informative you guys have been. Looks like I'll be pm him about a nice choppy n/a cam and prob pass on the nano since Texas is always hot if not scorching. I promise too keep ya'll updated on my progression with the bottle feeding when it happens
