Juiced up
Juiced up A while back I bought a used nx wet kit for my trans am. With its current mods: torquer v2 cam, LT headers, LS6 intake, Monster 2, 3:90 gears (stock 10), and some suspension mods I was looking to make a little more power.
The kit came with nx solenoids (fuel/N20), shark nozzle, jets for 100 shot, 10lb bottle, bottle mount, bottle heater, msd window switch, WOT switch, lines, and a gauge.
I set up the kit, using wiring diagrams online and what I could find here, installed the MSD in the glove box. Then I bought the racetronix fuel system and hot wire kit and did the trap door install. Mounted the bottle in the trunk/spare tire area.
For my gauge and switches I made a panel using solidworks and a 3d printer.
Picked up a purge from nitrous outlet, and took my car up to Mayhem Motorsports for a once over and tune. Tuning was cut short, due to fuel solenoid failure. Ordered the new fuel noid and after a few other surprises came up they were able to get the car on the dyno again.
Car made 487/490 with the 100 shot, and 511/509 with a 150 shot while bouncing on the dyno. Overall Im pretty happy with the results, working on gathering funds for a rear end so I can safely make some passes. I want to say thanks to Mayhem, and those that helped me along the way.

That's Great !
Im going to ask a Newb Question. Couldn't you have someone drill and tap a hole into the throttle body that aims the nozzle back towards the intake so the Nitrous flows directly back into the intake instead of where it is now ?
Seems like it would shoot into the other side of the bellow now then flow back.

I would imagine if you installed the nozzle in the tb it would be hit by the tb blade. Either way the orfice on the nozzle is designed to spray out of the side and not the end if that makes sense.
that makes complete sense. Im a nitrous newb and didn't know it sprayed from the side. Thanks
