Looks nice to me!

I know squat about nitrous systems. If that's a dry system what injectors are you using? And how does the system know to add more fuel when the spray is added? Thanx

Its a wet system. Stock injectors with a walbro 255 pump. Fuel noid pulls fuel from the rail. Its sprays at the same time as the nitrous noid, being controlled by a rpm window switch and wot switch...

Gonna hit it with a 150. Curious to see how long it lasts before the stock bottom end/10 bolt gives way...

as long as you keep slicks off of it and let out if it starts hopping, you'd really be surprised

She'll hold up for a while if you don't shake the tires off and then hook suddenly.

If it makes you feel better I plan on running the 10 bolt til it explodes (with 4.56s lol) behind a 357 with trick flow 185's, 236/244 .608/.608 cam and a 150 shot.

Looks real good.. Please get a new FPR, it can be a stock replacment. The 255 will kill an old stockers Diaphragm, and you need the FP to be right. O'Reilly's has a stock replacement pn 23065 for around 60 bucks and its adj. (Not that you need it to be, buts its nice when it comes time to tune)

I've always been curious, where is the window switch for a manual car? Or are you running a button?

its a MSD box that activates and deactivates an electrical circuit (nitrous) within a given window. when combined with a WOT switch (attached to the throttle body) the nitrous will only activate when the throttle is wide open, and within a given RPM window. its really a proven and safe combo as long as you have the supporting mods and tune to go with it.

yes im biased, i had my nitrous kit sitting my in bedroom before the car was mine.

Yes, except I'm using nitrous outlet's window switch, not msd's. Nitrous Outlet's has gear lockout, which I will be using until I get rid of the 10 bolt...
