Re: jet size question again? 75shot- .028
85shot- .030
100shot- .032
125shot- .034
150shot- .038
175shot- no jets
On the 175 shot, you are freeflowing the soleniods with no jets. For me, the 5177 kit jets haven't been all that acurate as far as HP goes. The torque is right on though. The 175 is supposed to be 150 at the wheels. The numbers in my sig were on the 175. As you can see, it only gave me 75 rwhp, but it gave 154 rwtq. And, as we all know..... It's better to make torque than HP.

Re: jet size question again? The numbers I was going off of listed .038 as a 125 shot and .044 as a 150 shot. I've been running .040 in my NOS dry kit. On a Mustang dyno my car put down 385rwhp and 551rwtq with a lid, cutout, and nitrous. It was running WAY lean on the dyno with the bottle pressure at 1050. Almost hit 16:1 I normally just run it on the street and leave my bottle pressure around 700-850.
If my numbers are accurate that puts me some where around 13x shot of nitrous. I picked up about 100rwhp and 250rwtq on the dyno.
I've only made two nitrous passes in the car and it ran an 11.84@118mph and 11.72@118mph.

Re: jet size question again? Nick...You should pick up more than 75rwhp and WAYYYYYYYY more than 154rwtq shooting a 175 shot. I think you should jet it down to 125 and try a different set of noids.
There was a local guy with the 5177 kit that was only picking up 30rwhp from a 100 shot. Turned out there was some kind of problem with his noids not opening up all the way. He picked up big time with a new set.
Make sure you keep a close on your air/fuel. I think the .040 jets are pushing it.

Re: jet size question again? BTW...If any of you guys are interested in a a pair of .044 jets that I never used I'll drop them in the mail for $10. I paid $14 plus tax for them, but the car was too lean for me to use them.
