Help with nitrous setup
I haven't actually bought this car yet, but I will be in about 2 weeks. It made about 590 rwhp N/A and 822ish with a 250 shot. The list of mods are as follows:
HK BALANCED AND BLUEPRINTED LS7 SHORTBLOCK WITH DARTON IRON SLEEVES
JE THERMAL COATED PISTONS 12.5:1 COMPRESSION
HELL FIRE RINGS
CALLIES COMPSTAR RODS
ARP ROD BOLTS
ARP CUSTOM HEAD STUDS
GREG GOOD FULLY PORTED/POLISHED LS7 HEADS
HPE STAGE 3 ZO6 CAM (COMP)
PORTED/POLISHED LS7 THROTTLE BODY W/PCV CATCH CAN
MSD COIL PACK IGNITION
PORTED LS7 INTAKE
MEZIERE ELECTRIC WATER PUMP
DEWITTS HIGH FLOW RADIATOR
SLP 160 DEGREE THERMOSTAT
VARARAM INTAKE
WALBRO 255LPH FUEL PUMP
AEROMOTIVE ADJUSTABLE FUEL PRESSURE REGULATOR
CUSTOM NITRO DAVES FUEL CELL
TWIN YELLOW TOP OPTIMA BATTERIES
EXHUAST SPECS:
KOOKS 1 7/8 STAINLESS STEEL ZO6 HEADERS
KOOKS 3” OFF ROAD X-PIPE
STOCK MUFFLERS
DRIVETRAIN:
HURST SHORT THROW BILLETT PLUS SHIFTER
MCLEOD TWIN DISK CLUTCH W/ MIBA LININGS
MCLEOD ALUMINUM FLY WHEEL
MCLEO ADJUSTABLE MASTER CYLINDER
ARP FLYWHEEL BOLTS
C5 HARDENED HALF SHAFTS
QA1 3-WAY ADJUSTABLE REAR SHOCKS
NITROUS SPECS:
SPEEDTECH CUSTOM FOGGER 250 SHOT
DUAL NANO SYSTEM
Custom Nitro Dave's stand alone fuel cell
MSD DIGITAL WINDOW SWITCH
NITROUS EXPRESS PURGE
OTHER:
AUTOMETER PRO SHIFT LIGHT HIDDEN IN DASH A/C VENT
6 PT ROLL CAGE W/ REMOVABLE SWING OUT DOOR BARS
SIMPSON 4 PT RACING HARNESSES BOTH SEATS
AUTOMETER PROCOMP 2 PILLAR GAUGES FOR NITROUS AND FUEL PRESSURE
Right now I'm unsure of what to do. No nitrous bottles are coming with the car and I would like to cutdown some weight as I won't be spraying very often, if at all. There aren't really any tracks where I live so the spray would be in the off chance I run into a car that can beat 600 N/A. Do you think this system really requires 2 nano bottles & 2 nitrous bottles or could I just use one nitrous/nano and have the same shot? Are 2 yellow top batteries really necessary or could I swap them out with 2 light weight batteries like the ballistics evo 16 cells. Taking out the 2 bottles and switching to the batteries would effectively drop about 70-80 lbs off the car. I would appreciate any help, because I've never had a nitrous car before to be honest.

anyone? I guess the nitrous line "T"s off to both bottles and Nano systems, so I should be able to have the 250 shot with just the one bottle/nano correct?

I appreciate the reply. It's the 4500 PSI kit. Motor is built for a 400 shot though. I think I'll leave it at 250 so it's nice and safe though.

I'm actually looking to get a bottle with the correct valve for this system. I'm not sure if I need a bottle with a high flow valve, super high flow valve, or..
I will rarely spray nitrous, but the current tune one the car is for a progressive 250 shot and the motor is built for a 400 shot, so I would like whatever valve and bottle I need to handle both applications.
What are your recommendations?
Thanks again,
Brett
