Default Looking to get in the Nitrous game

Ok I have a 98 Trans Am LS1 heads cam motor with 57xxx miles on it. I'm looking to get into the nitrous game but dont know a whole lot about it. So I have been looking at a few packages and thought I would get your guys opinion.

Something like these is what I am looking at. Please give opinions and advice. Thanks

DJ

Those kits are the same with the exception of the hard lines so you get a cleaner install, I'd buy the first one, but thats a matter of opinion.

There are many threads about thsi type stuff, and reading the stickies about nitrous should help you decide, however your post isn't very specific about what you would like to know.

Injectors don't matter on a wet kit. Look into a fuel pump if you do not already have one.

Just get you a 255 intank. $100 bucks all day. You will have a blast with a wet plate kit, or even a single nozzle. A HSW nozzle kit is cheap and effective. I duno if they are sponsors on here don't wana step on toes. Make sure whatever you get, get the big solenoids, the little ones on most kits wont spray past a certain hp level.

The little ones are usually good for 175 to 200 hp, which is likely more than enough for someone just wanting to get into the nitrous game.

Yeah I am planning on a 125-150 shot max right now. Still on stock bottom end. I am very heavily leaning towards the first kit listed. plus right now it is 15% off. That is a dry kit correct?

I'd suggest a HSW microedge. Being a m6 car you'll need the Saftey features. And don't forget colder plugs

Upgrade the fuel pump and pull some timing out somehow. I think the kit comes with br7 plugs, use those. I also suggest buying a wideband.

There really is no best kit for everyone, it all depends on your needs and budget. You could shop used and piece together a kit and save some cash, or you could buy all new and be done with it.

I see with lots of questions this can be confusing. If you would like I am Here till 5:30 central time. We can sit down and go over everything so you will have a better handle on some of the in and outs of nitrous. Much simpler after a conversation.

Looks like you are on track.. Lets talk alittle more about what you have..

You said you have a heads and cam set up.

What intake?
Have you upgraded the fuel pump yet?

What are your future plans?

If you would rather call me at the shop our toll free number is 1-866-648-7637

Otherwise I can respond here.

I have MS4 ported LS6 heads and the rest of the goodies with that. Ls6 intake and a ported and polished TB. No upgrade to fuel yet but will replace the pump if I spray. Future plans are to run this spraying around 150 then probably step up to a 90 or 92mm intake and TB. Figured it would be an easy upgrade. After that build something big cubes. And damn you for extending your sale lol
