so im not new to ls1 cars but i am new to nitrous and i have a 2000 trans am auto with 71000 miles im thinking about putting nitrous on it actually i have the kit everyone ive talked to has give me mixed answers soi was wondering what you guys think about it. im wanting to shoot 150 wet through the plate will it hold it and is this recommended some people tell me dry some tell me wet but not that much just need to know cause im ready to do something

 

car is completely stock by the way

 

I dont know if I would spray 150 through it, but 125 is a healthy hit that is probably easier on the motor. Your stock fuel system might need upgraded, but other than than you should be good. There are guys on here that have over 100k and are still spraying 100+ shots.

 

i would not spray any more then 100shot on my stock short block. and don't spray at low rpm. good luck

 

you should be fine would reccommend a fuel pump

 

Agreed. I used a 150 shot before I switched over to D1SC

 

whats the prob with spraying at low rpm? ive heard this but not sure y...

 

Detonation! That's what is wrong. Basically at low rpms you don't have enough activity going combustion wise and you introduce more oxygen. You'd be waaay too lean.

 

The stickies in the nitrous section are probablay some of the most informative on ls1tech. but nitrous will be fine if you take all the neccesary steps. so accessories are what you need to worry about. FPSS, window switch, fuel system, so on... just dont dive into it and its the best mod that youll do...

 

I wouldn't do more than a 100 shot. On a 100 shot i would highly recommend using NGK TR-6 plugs, make sure your fuel system is capable of supplying adequate fuel (if you're going to use a stock pump then make sure everything is in perfect working order, ESPECIALLY with a dry shot. Don't forget to change your fuel filter) don't spray under 3500-3750 RPM, and make sure to have it triggered using a throttle plate. You don't want to detonate when you let off the pedal. Nitrous can be your best friend or worst enemy, its just all in the small, simple steps you do to prep your engine. Hope this helps! And good luck!

 

125 shot w/ tr-6s, window switch, only spraying 3k rpms to 5800 rpms, lock out 1st gear spray too... That's my recommendation. Oh, and fuel pump for sure.

 

And I would also recommend a tune to adjust your timing if you're going to spray anything over a 100 shot, and even that is pushing it. There are other ways to pull timing but a tune will be the most beneficial. And I forgot to mention, make sure your window switch is set AT LEAST 200 RPM under your redline (which I believe is 6050 or 6100 stock). When your computer pulls fuel (which is what a rev-limiter does obviously), you will go WAY lean and, if you're spraying, you can kiss your enging goodbye. SO... just be careful and take all precautions.
