Question Near future Mod????

Might be getting this within the next few months.

http://www.nitrousexpress.com/produc...ls.php?id=1459

Is there anything else I would need with this system?
Do you recommend any other system?

I have been wanting NOS for sometime now, but never found the right product.

Rossko is the man to talk to, he put a 100 wet shot on his and hit 12s.

There're some others with N2O, as well, I think, I can't remember off hand.

I've got a friend with a NX dry shot he wants to give me, but I don't want to spray my car right now.

It comes with fuel lines so I'm guessing it's wet?? But I'm not too familiar with NO2 systems so I have no idea HAHA. Maybe when the time comes I'll just go to "my guy" and ask him what the best system for my car is

Just keep an eye out on the #7 piston. I knew of two people who had trouble with it using nitrous. Not sure if they had a wet shot or dry shot. I think you also may have to narrow the gap on your plugs a bit too.

You'll need a wet shot, colder plugs (some use TR6s some say we need a different kind but can't remember the pn), and you'll need timing pulled in some manner, whether a timing twister or a tune.

That looks like a pretty sweet system!

You should start at a 150 shot and work up from there... jk.

What was happening to the #7 piston? I was looking at this myself if my other project falls through.

that looks like a decent kit. I ran a zex wet kit on my vette with good results. Here's a list of HIGHLY recommended things you should get:

window switch
bottle warmer (pressure controlled not temperature)
fuel and nitrous filters (if the kit doesn't come with them)
fuel pressure safety switch
remote bottle opener (not a must but recommended)
tune
NGK TR6's gapped at .040"

I have quit a bit of experience with nitrous, if you have anymore questions don't hesitate to ask.
