1997 Trans am noob nitrous question Hello,
I have a 97 TA
I am going to the track in a few weeks and I want to add nitrous
Right now it is a full bolt on a4. Car with 3 inch exhaust.
I am really thinking about running nitrous,
Nitrous outlet makes a kit for that car what else would I need I don't want to blow the engine it has 80k miles on it, I know to run cooler plugs with 93 oct gas,
My question is do I have to pull timing
Do I need a bigger fuel pump.
How bad is it to run a 100 shot on a engine
If the launch is good what do you think the time may be
Thank you,
Dave

Damn so even if you have an aggressive tune for NA you can just slap a 100 shot on and be ok? All that's needed is a window switch? And maybe colder plugs and a fuel pump? If so I might consider this..

I wouldn't say that, I would still feel better pulling a couple degrees especially if you have agressive timing IMO. Good fuel would really help though.
If a setup has been properly tuned before, then timing will need to be pulled 3 degrees for every 50hp shot added.
to kris72079- You can run direct port as well as a plate setup together. Second stage the dp. Our heads flow enough you could up the shot even more.

I'm running a set of LE blessed AFR195s that flow 311 @ .700 with a 217cc runner, so flow is good! I would LOVE to go direct port but 1. Don't know if I want to machine my intake for it and 2. Am 90% done my build right now that has drained me financially (along with a new home build). I need to build my stand alone fuel system for the nitrous system fuel solenoid too. SOOO want to go dp on second stage just can't see an economical way to do it...
