How's my setup?
How's my setup? So I haven't posted in a while, but I finally scored a well-paying job and I am ready to jump on some nitrous. My car is 2000 T/A with full bolt-ons and a 3600 stall. I make 345rwhp and I also just got HP Tuners, a WB O2, and Masport's book on tuning. I know it isn't a definitive guide, but it does offer a lot of direction in tuning safely. Anyways, I want to run Dave's wet kit with a window switch. I was going to start at 100 and move up later to a 150. Two questions, is this shot safe? What RPM range would be good to spray in on a stock head/cam motor with an LS6 manifold?
Thanks!!
Thanks!!
100 or 150 is fine. IF your tuned for bolt ons, just get the Lingenfelter box to pull your timing. Some people shoot 100 shot as is, but I dont recommend it though. Im sure others will chime in. If you like buildin things theres a how to on an LS timing controller on here also
You will be just fine with that size shot. The size of the shot determines how much timing you need to pull. I have seen guys running over a 300 shot on stock motors, as long as you take the right timing out you will be alright. Also depends on if your motor is solid, the nitrous will let you know if there are any weak parts in the motor. As far as a RPM range, At first I would recommend nothing less then 3000RPM's. A high point would be around 6000 to 6500RPM's. What are you spinning your motor to and shifting at?
The shift points are all stock (maybe bumped up a little, I haven't looked at my tune yet). Rev limiter is the same story. I can't get the converter to flash below about 4k RPM, so I guess I'm fine on the low end haha! I'm making sure I do this as safe as possible. 2 deg every 50hp on the shot.

To elaborate on the post above...
If you decide to read the plugs make sure that after the 1/4mile pass or after you at least do a 5-6 second blast immediately kill the car and coast to stop. That away you get a true reading on the plug. As little as 10seconds idle time can washa plug and give an inaccurate reading.

I'm sticking to what I know and what I have learned.
