Re: Can i run Nitrous? i run a nx kit on my stock ls1 i am shooting 125 shot right now with no problems at all the car runs excellent you do need to make sure you get all the right safety pieces though if you have a m6 you need a window switch if you have a a4 you will be ok without one i run a tps switch 15lb bottle with bottle heater fuel cut off switch and nx rocker panel switches seems to be very safe i strongly recomend nitrous express but there are other good kits out there also

Re: Can i run Nitrous? A window switch?
A window switch turns the Nitrous "on" at a desired RPM, and then "off" before redline!
It is your job to set the "on" rpm and "off" rpm to whatever you want!
On a camaro you should go..."ON" @ 3000 rpms, and "off" @ 5900 rpms (before redline)!
