Hey i was thinking about putting nitrous on my 97 rs and i was wondering on how much i should run through it? Right now it is still a stock 3.8 with slp cold air in the making.

 

I had a local freind who was running a 150 wet kit. He was running low 13s. I wouldnt recomend that much for longevity...but you can hit that motor with a good shot....say a 75 shot, maybe a 100. Make sure you do some research on your fuel pump to see if it will need upgrading. Also I think there are some sites like CamaroZ28.com that has a section devoted to V6 performance.

 

A 50 or 75hp shot on a 3.8 isn't bad, but a 150 is scary! It sounds like he was pulling some good ETs but I wonder how long the motor will stay together with that much nitrous.

I was in the 3.8 scene for awhile when I had my 98 bird, running a 50~75 shot is fine on the car. Going to 100 or 125 I would look into a larger fuel pump or at least a "boost-a-pump" setup, which basically just lets your stock fuel pump get more fuel to the motor.
