"The recommended jetting for the LT1 kit is 67 nitrous jet with a 59 bypass (150HP)."

Is the responce nos gave me lol

So you guys think I should convert to a wet kit? I have been thinking about this for a while. Not to dissagree but why would nos say to run the 150 and not to upgrade to tthe wet conversion???? Thoughts?

As with anything, make sure you have the total setup for it and you'll be fine. However the tune is everything...

You realize you'll need to retune it to spray the 150 right? I dont know what you're doing for the 80 shot, probably jacking up fuel pressure? I wouldn't trust that it will be fine for the 150.

Make sure you have enough injector, get a wideband and slowly work your way up.

Or convert to wet.

Wet is in my opinion easier to tune for smaller shots like were talking.

yea i have an innovative lm-1 wideband in the car now(thats what i used for the 80 shot)
when i asked NOS i asked for steped jeting in 20hp incriments but they just gave me the 150 shot jet sizes, I only have 1 week to decide (last weekend i have off to go to the track before winter)

so have any of you guys sprayed with a 150 dry before?

With 36# injectors and a 255 pump, you should have enough fuel for it.

To be safe, I'd jet up slowly before the track and log the runs to see what % your injectors are at.

Better safe than sorry.

I don't see a reason to do stages with such a small shot, and I def wouldn't do it from one bottle.

If your buying a new nitrous kit, sell what you have and buy the best kit in the market: nitrous outlet LT1 plate kit.
