Got a couple question for you nitrous guys..me an a buddy are doing a build in his 02 trans am...stock bottom end 799 heads ls6 intake pretty good size nitrous cam stock ported tb stock fuel rails and injectors long tubes AEM 50-1000 intank pump..wen have a nitrous outlet MAF kit were gonna throw at it for now with a 200 shot..my main question is if we pull off the rail and have a good tune can we run 93 octane or do we need to add race gas to the tank..we want to do a stand alone eventually..

 

Is it a nozzle or plate? You can run pump gas, however it would be better to go ahead and pick up a dedicated fuel system and run something like C16 in it. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact me and I'll do everything I can to help you out!

 

It's the MAF plate kit..we are gonna eventually get a stand alone but with time an money were just gonna pull off the rail for now

 

I would not trust the stock bottom end with a HCI and 200 shot. To each their own though...

 

I did 150 safely for years off the rails, but when I went to 200 it had a hard time keeping fuel. I went to a standalone then and race gas.

 

Good info in here. Get a standalone and put race fuel in it for a 200 shot. Do not pull off the rail. People "DO" but just asking for trouble eventually....sometimes sooner than later.

 

There's nothing wrong with pulling off of the rail as long as you have the fuel pump to handle the demand. With a stock pump, we recommend that customers don't go over 150HP from their engines stock rating. So if you've already done H/C/I, that could affect the available fuel supply for the nitrous. However, if you're running a large in-tank pump like a 340, or multiple pumps like a Squash setup you should have no problem. But then again, you lose the ability to use a higher octane for your fuel enrichment.

 

I would be pretty nervous spraying 200 off the rail with a H/C/I car. I would either invest in a SAFE system or run a separate line up from the tank.
