I say get the injectors flowed and put the fat ones on the leanest cylinders and tweak it up in small stages.


I did not know that..good to know. thanks for the info. Although I am going FAST XFI for the new setup so I should have that flexibility if needed.

Run a dry nozzle setup with the XFI. I have a cam trigger setup for inside the opti, not sure if XFI can run individual cylinder trims in batch like DFI can? Dry is the way to go if you have the pump and injector. I even have a nice set of 60# injectors for ya

Well here is the problem, you like cars and you like to make them faster That tank is moving for sure, as is. Although a jump in 25hp on the kit probably wont give you the results you would like. Now, a 75hp jump will do something

Look at the edelbrock e3.
Looked at the E3, are you talking about drilling the top of the intake and tapping 1 fogger nozzle into it? Nitrous outlet can do some trick stuff with spray bars, machining them into the intake itself. What I think could be interesting with a stock LT1 intake: Speedtech plate spray technology drilled into the top center of the intake as you described. If you're not familar with Speedtech plates, they have a circumference spray system as opposed to the single directional fogger nozzle. This could/would spray nitrous 360 degrees on the inside of the intake. Ive never seen it done but could be interesting.

Running a wet nozzle system with an LT1 intake, think using 2 fogger nozzles before the throttle body is a much better setup. I didnt do anything real fantastic for placement but worked pretty well.

Yup thats what I was thinking. You could also use 2 nozzles and just run smaller jets.

fog it! front half of motor takes the beating plain and simple.

you can tune each cylinder with the fogger. it sounds like you are n't afraind of gettin your hands dirty

you are defintiely safe on the timing, you can be rich many times.... but lean only once, lol!!!!

Brian its your for the taking. just let me know. The car is capable of 9.70's as it sits. Hopefully you can make it faster. LOL!!!!! And still streetable.

If 93 LT1 VETTE does not buy the car. He fell in love with it. I have decided to go with a duel shark nozzle setup with a progressive controller. 100 shot off the line then another 100 shot set through the controller and see what happens. Good or bad idea?

If going like that a controller isn't needed. I still suggest that you run a 75 shot out the hole and second stage the other 125-150.

Not at all... remember that a 200 shot of nitrous isn't much. Now I do love controllers though. For smoothness and shot handling ability of the suspension a controller is the way to go, But there isn't any "stages" just ramp rates.

For your 200 shot of nitrous a two stage system with simple solenoids and not having to wonder if they are gonna stick open is the best/easiest bet for you.

Now if you move into the 300 shot range. With a 100 shot out of the hole and a progressive 200 second stage would be more in suit.

Yeah i know that.... that isn't my point though. why buy a controller when you don't really need one?? You would already have everything you need. a progressive can always be installed later. If traction issues occur or a larger shot was installed then yes go ahead and get one... but i never recommend anything that doesn't really need to be purchased. just my .02

True, but I would say most with a big shot 250+ are progressing it in. If your chassis is setup it would be needed to keep it off the bumper. JMO
