Help Nx Maf Kit And Gen-x2

Just bought the nx maf kit and the genx 2 kit and I was wondering what else

biggest shot I could use when running C16 (116octane) im putting it on a

2001 trans am ws6 with a lid, SLP loud mouth exhaust and a maf thanks to all

you nitrous techs.

very new to nitrous

I use one. Most others recommend and/or use one as well.

I and most others use an MSD window switch.

This will prevent you from spraying at too low an RPM. Which could cause an explosion.

I would say 175 shot would be about the max. I don't think you will need 116. You could use 101-106 unleaded mixed with some premium gas. Besides, I think the leaded race gas ruins O2 sensors.

A window switch is something I highly recommend.You will also need to change your plugs to a NGK TR6.

Now as far as your car.If I read this right your motor is stock.The stock pistons are only rated for a 150 shot.There are people spraying more but thats at there own risk.Do not run 116 fuel.It will slow you down.You do not have enough motor for that fuel.It is also leaded and it will be hard on the 02s.If you run racing fuel run 104 unleaded.If your just running the 150 shot you can probley get away with 93 octain just fine.
