Default Question for the Kernel!

Can I use the 5177 kit with my head and cam setup that puts down 440hp? I'm currently using 30 pound injectors with the stock fuel pump.

I dont think so. If you spray a 100 dry you will be near 100% duty cycle for those injectors. And a nice 255 lph intank pump would be necessary too.

383LQ4SS has a very good point.
The leading cause of Nitrous hurting a motor is the fuel system not keeping up. Running rich is usually never bad for a motor. Running lean is very bad. Make sure your fuel pump/injectors/rail
can keep up with the rest of the motor (and nitrous) and you should be fine. Make sure you do not use a Hypertech,etc aftermarket programming. Chips,PCMs,whatever usually enhance ignition timing and lean out the air to fuel mix. This is really bad when using Nitrous.
Some people get away with stock timing. Personally I would retard the timing 2 degrees for every 50 HP worth of nitrous.

You can also get senors installed that will cut off the nitrous if the fuel delievery rate every drops too low.

Good Luck
