NOS Setup "Dry Kit"

Can anybody tell me if I need to change or swap out any parts prior to installing a dry kit.

I was told that a NOS kit will do damage to the LS4. Anybody knows how true this is.

I wouldn't run a dry kit without a tune. In fact, I wouldn't run one at all on any car unless it was a little Sneaky Pete setup with no more than 20-25 HP.

But that's just my opinion. Plenty of folks have run a dry shot successfully, but there's not much margin for error.

You'd probably need to adapt a fogger-type nozzle to run it on EFI.

And having a tuner installed is much different than getting a custom nitrous tune using a dyno. You need someone who knows how to set the car up for nitrous doing your tune.

So, im guessing like everything else on the LS4 I would need to have the DOD delete kit installed as well?

You wouldn't have to delete DoD. A lot of people do it because it improves drivability and reduces oil consumption, but whether you have it or not has nothing to do with running N2O.

Is there a certain size adapter I need, and a certain number of them?

Did you have to swap out any parts or add any additional parts besides what came with the kit?

yeah I used a lot of misc. parts such as nuts, bolts, clamps, wire loom. I wanted to do a top notch job not a hack job, but you can do it with the parts provided and tools.
