Lol.. yeah the juice is FUN though. I like it.. The motor will handle a 150 shot. That really does look like a nice kit. I'm really interested to see the before and after dyno numbers..

take care
Steve

Well I know someone with an 01 C5 6 speed. Stock Ls1 motor with headers and boltons...Car was tuned on the spray on the dyno. The vettes have more drivetrain loss due to the piece of crap torque tube and the IRS in the back. I've driven it on motor and it was nothing spectacular. The NX 150 shot kicked pretty hard.

On motor it made 347rwhp/358rwtq
On a 150 shot it made 466rwhp/562rwtq..
It made like 322 on motor baseline before the tune. Had some knock retard issues.

Another friends car.. Same setup as above (different car, but also 01 C5 6 speed) with a 224/228 cam and a 100 shot
On motor it made like 385rwrhp/366rwtq
Made 462rwhp/511rwtq on a 100 shot.
I drove this car on and off the spray and it hit hard on the bottle.

Nitrous gives killer TQ though. I'd try the 125 or a 100 shot first and if you feel up to it.. toss in the 150 jets. I wouldn't go below a 100 though...hehe.. Just be careful..

woo hoo....

first of all

I want to thank Robert for helping me once again with putting something on the car. You came through for me pal, I really appreciate it bud.

and 2, thank you robert for being the bad influence that you are and being the final factor for buying the wet kit.

now.... how i liked it...








holy cow.. it was freaking awesome. we put in the 125 shot in and again holy cow. . i just had this huge smile on my face.. it was so awesome. man can't wait to see what she dyno's on saturday...

Just had a few problems.

1) the msd window switch i bought didn't seem to work, we ran without it but I know for sure I would like for sure to have it in.

2) Going to be needing a new clutch soon, sad but true. now gotta save for that

I LOVE NITROUS!
