150 will be ok, but your gonna get alot of diffrent opinons on this matter, im speaking from lots experiance with spray that you should be ok if you tune properly and take care of your plugs and dont assume anything, always check and if you second guess somthing dont spray....

What kind of mods do you have and what year is the car?

Also check the sig for The Colonels N20 tech files for some goo basic info.

I think I would just run a 100 shot on that car and have no worries at all. IMOP. Its a blast man go for it.

Would I need to get some tuning done? I don't have LS1 Edit, nor do I think I would necessarily have the skills to use it. I've never seen it, but I don't doubt that there would be parameters of tuning involved that would be well beyond my Automotive know-how, which is mediocre at best.

Also do NOT run HPP3 power tuning or any type of device that advances your timing(SLP air temp module, timing ticker, etc).

To add a sig click the PROFILE button on the top of this page. Then click "View/Update Profile" and you can make your sig there. PS. before adding a reply or making a post you must check the box that says to include a sig.

Default Newbie Nitrous Question

Im giving serious consideration to a wet kit right now, and Im wondering how big of a shot you can run on the stock fuel pump? I'm a major nitrous newbie, never even considered it until a few days ago, so any tips anyone can give would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance.

Well, I believe ive pretty much made up my mind to go with a Wet Nitrous Kit. So I guess what I need to know now is, Is one kit (say NX or TNT, ect.) better than any other? Im getting mixed reviews from all directions

Some people I read say get the TNT kit but get certain components from NX or vice versa. And what about a Window Switch since Im an M6? What components don't typically come with the kit that would be absolutely necessary?

Thanks a lot for everyones help so far!

With an M6 definitly go with a window switch it will save your motor incase you mis shift and it makes things a lot easyer. If you want a TPS switch or a remote bottle opener I would definitly go with NX. Oh yeah I would also get a N2O filter.

As for the main kit go with NX or TNT and you should not have any problems.
