What size/type of shot are you all using??? Want to get a nitrous setup but want to make sure that all of my homework is done first.

You will need a good fuel pump if you plan to spray over a 100. I would get it regardless, if you can find a used fuel pressure regulator (saw one on ehre the other day for $40) then I would get one of those also. NGK TR-6 plugs, good wires, ect ect.

With that you can run a safe 150 shot. Most people that run a 200 shot blow a head gasket or trash a ring in a short matter of time but it might last two runs or a full season. You never know. With an ignition box to pull some timing you could get away with a 175 safe on stock internals.

Nitrous Express here. Got it used super cheap.

TNT F2 LT1 dual nozzle plate system; 150 so far with intentions on going more.

Previously on my LT1 Vette: Nitrous Express 175 shot. Of the two the 150 TNT is more powerful.

I would recommend the brand based on how mch power you want to make. Both kits were/are flawless and reliable for me.

Where did you get those pieces to do the intake like that? Will it make more power than the standard K/N style cold air set up? Could you pm me the specifics?

I'm running the HSW wet kit, 125 shot, mallory 685 box, pulling 6 degrees of timing(I'de rather be on the safe side, 475-500rwhp on the stock bottom end is pushing it). I gained 112rwhp, not bad for pulling that much timing. I'm trying to get to the track if it would ever stop raining down here.

I haven't hooked my zex dry kit up yet, but I'm going to be spraying on a 141k+ motor. I still haven't installed the racetronix/walbro fuel pump setup yet I ordered months ago, or wired in the msd retard and window switch.

my friend is spraying a 150 shot on his bolt on 160,000 mile wagon. Of course he has safety mods though.

Local kid just basically has an NX kit with a shark nozzle and went 11.99s with minor bolt ons (gears, stall, shitty local built trans, headers MT ET Drag radials) with a 150 shot and 130k on the engine. BUt it's going about it the dumb way. No window switch, no ignition box, no colder plugs, nothing safety related. Basically an on/ff switch.
