Newbie Nitrous Questions
OK, I am new to the nitrous world....lol...
Well, Im gonna hopefully be doing an LS1/A4 swap in my 'bird(see sig)..
Ive never really been a nitrous person, but I just got an idea in my mind...
OK, I plan on doing a Manual Valve Body 4L60E, and about a 3500 Stall(Just a lil background info)
Well, I dont wanna do 500+ shots, I just want a 150 shot(93 Octane)...
So:
1) What brand do you recommend?(NOS, TNT, NX, etc.)
2) What accessories should I get? (Window Switch, Bottle Warmer, Safety Switch, etc)
3) What type of shot?(Wet, Dry)
4) What mods will I need to do to my engine?(Fuel System, Injectors, Plugs, Tuning, Timing)
I know these are a few questions, but Ill appreciate any input...
Thanks

For a 150 you should probly do a wet kit, u can adjust it better. Window switch and bottle heater are good money spent. And get NGK TR6's for plugs.Gap at about .038". You might also want to upgrade your fuel pump. Don't know if 3.1 pump can supply enough fuel for the 5.7 and the 150 shot togethor. Think about your rearend too, is it the reg 10" or a smaller one for the 3.1 model?

pump, plugs, window switch, bottle heater, pressure gauge and you couldn't be happier.
Another thing you might want to check is the size of your fuel lines. I don't know how big they where for the 3.1 . Other then all that, nothing else comes to mind unless someone else can chime in. Check out the link in my sig, you might find the Lock-Out feature usefull.
