Default Questions for the nitrous guys.

I am interested in running nitrous on my car and from what I understand 00 LS1's have smaller injectors. Do I need to worry about this if I run a wet kit? What size injectors are suggested for a 125 dry shot? What size are the injectors on my LS1? If I was to buy larger injectors do I have to change any timing or fuel curves in the computer or do they just swap out without any computer work? I figure the A/F ratio might need some change if I installed larger injectors. I would like to run a wet kit but the ease of the dry install is kind of nice. TIA for the help.

-Dave

With a wet kit you won't have to worry about the injectors.
It is a little more wiring but less of a hassle with tuning problems.
My setup without any tuning was running an A/F of 11.5-1 out of the box.Thats plenty safe.

if you wanna run a dry shot go with the NOS 5177 or TNT F1 and go to your local chevy dealership and get a set of 98 injectors and a MAFT and watch the ET's drop. <img src="graemlins/fluffy.gif" border="0" alt="[Fluffy]" />

your injectors are 26.2# in your 00 Fbody. if you run a wet system, you will be just fine, believe me. i would recommend buying a scanning tool to find out what your car is doing before buying new injectors. besides, you will need to reswing the computer, or get a MAF T, if you install new injectors. if you buy an NX Express system and use the jets recommended at each level, you will find that you will run a little rich at WOT, ~910mv on O2's.
