How hard is nitrous on the motor? Can you say, spray once a day and still have a happy motor?

Also, how much $$ is it to fill your bottle, and about how often do you need to fill?

5432LT1

from what i remember people saying...its not that expensive to refill the bottle..i wanna say like 25- 30 $$...but dont quote me ive never done it


and as far as refilling it...just depends on how often you use it.

Depends entirely on your setup. If you get the motor too lean.. No. If you have a faulty part.. nope... etc etc.

My friends have had a mix of good/bad luck. Some friends spray forever it seems...and others get a few passes in because they overlooked something. Good luck..and do your homework on it

do not run a dry shot on a LT1, the stock fuel system can't handle it. If a dry is used, you will need a better pump, 28# injectors (I prefer 30#) and an adj regulator and set it to 39-40 static pressure for a long-lived motor. all this will make not juiced driving decent. If it's the daily driver, just adjust the pressure back to 37 and you're good. If a wet is used, upgrade the pump and have fun.
As for $$, about $7 a pound give or take. And make sure the refill place uses a filter when filling your bottle. one speck of dirt can clog something up or make a solenoid stick...BOOM!!!!!
Before you even spray, invest in a window switch, minimum of 3000 rpm to 2-300 below your rev limiter. It's cheap insurance. Also call the N2O maker of your brand and ask what spark plug is best, or get on here and ask in the N2O forum

7.00 a pound!!!!!
Its more like $3.00 avg a pound in south florida.

It varies up here in Ky. I had seen as high as 9, as low as 2.75. it goes up and down more than gas prices, but in substantial increments

Why would you say that? Obviously you have no idea what you are talking about. I disagree with everything you said.

Obviously I do. I own both an LT1 and an LS1, which you can see. When I had the dry on my IMP with minor bolt-ons. I was running a A/F gauge and it would lean out, bad. My ls1 has no problems. both dry shots. I upgraded the pump and installed an adj press/reg, bumped static up to 40psi and A/F was perfect, even daily driving. And I have many friends that had the same outcome with dry systems.
So, If that is your car, you really don't deal with the mediocre street cars, you apparently go all out.

LT1's on nitrous

PrPL 93

Everyone here seems to say the LT1 can handle some nitrous on a stock motor. What about a stock motor with 133,000 miles on it? Am I asking for a rebuild, or will it last? Wouldn't mind dipping into the 12s.

It puts you back in your seat a bit but I dunno about 11s.. maybe 12s

Jeremy,

Until you know a lot more about Nitrous, don't use it. Not being a dick, just trying to save you from hurting your motor.
Now, the dick part: that "somebody" you quoted is either a tard or never really used nitrous (or both).

One night a few months ago I went to the track and clicked off a 12.57 @110 (crappy weather by the way). I went back to the pits, installed my bottle, and waited about a half hour for a little cool down. I turned on the bottle heater and made sure I had ~1000 psi of bottle pressure and then did another pass, spraying "just" a 100-shot. 11.40 @122.

So, yes, nitrous will make a big difference. A difference you will certainly feel. And yes, LT1's love the bottle.

More than likely you need a rebuild before you start to up your car's performance. You can run a compression check on your cylinders, check your oil pressure, even have an oil analysis done, and a bunch of other parameters... but I personally wouldn't be messing with a 133K mile LT1 unless I was deliberately trying to "pop" it.

Contact the guys at Cold Fusion Nitrous--------------->
They have an awesome custmer service and tech. There are also a few guys from the company on this forum. Go to the N2O forums and they check all the forums and give good advice, "nitrous mike" is one. Don't be afraid of nirtrous, the most important part is fuel. lotsa fuel to not lean out and run a wet system. it's safer for the motor.

i have a cai, resonator, no cats, stock everything with a 150 shot (no bottle warmer at the time) pulled on a 03 z06 45-145mph.

nitrous makes a difference.

Deffinately run some spray. Once you use it, you'll probably never go back to not using it. It's the same with a blower.

Hey OneMeanZ, cool signature pic.
