Default Anyone have NOS??

Just wondering, but does anyone actually have it on our LS4 cars? I always considered it, but I never actually wanted to spend the money on it . Plus, I haven't seen it in anyone's sigs.

Default N20

Not too many of us have it. There are alot of strong opinions on this subject and since I don't want to get into a pissing contest with my other LS4 brothers I tend to keep it quiet about it. From a math point of view it is by far the biggest bang for the buck. If you go small (30 shot) it is very cheap and it is a relative easy install. If you go big (75-100 shot) it becomes more complicated because of safety concerns, but it's still less then $25 per horsepower.

There's information out there on it. It's a little different on our cars plug wise, and then there's the transmission lol.

you can run 50 shot all day long but when you switch to the 100 shot you have to deal with changing plugs and i think the #7 cylinder doesn't like spray

i ran a 100 shot wet (i try to keep it on the dl ) with a microedge controller paired with some cooler NGK plugs (TR6s) and the car liked it a lot. never had any problems with the #7 piston. as long as you have everything set up right and the tune is spot on (i have a great tuner) there should be no problems.

spraying from a 20 roll was badass...i could take on some cars that people wouldnt expect and i definitely surprised some people.

I plan on spraying eventually, no more than a 100 shot and a proper tune to be super-safe. I'd like to hear more first hand experiences as well though.

I think nitrous wouldn't be much of an issue as long as you don't spray during the shifts to save the trans. I'd do it if I were to continue modding this car. But I'm paying if off and getting my RWD S/C V8!

I have experience with spraying my ls1 and to be honest it's not much different than the LS4 in that aspect. You can run a 150 shot no problem as long as your tuning is right. The biggest issue I see is the aggressive stock timing curve on the LS4, well that and your trans. Definitely run a window at the very minimum. Nitrous will more than make up for the **** intake setup.

this man speaks the truth. nail the tune/microedge (window switch + other features) and you are golden.
