Low milage + nitrous = danger? I have been wanting to add a 150 shot to my LS1 02 Camaro but I am not sure if its a good idea given that the car only has 12k miles. The engine should have minimum wear and I am worry about tight tolerances not liking the extra heat. I'm I correct or is it safe to use nitrous regardless of the concerns expressed?

When doing a nitrous system there are a few key components to have in order to keep the system properly functioning and consistent. You will want of course the system, at Nitrous outlet we would recommend having a purge kit, bottle warmer kit, nitrous pressure gauge, a LNC 2000 ignition timing controller, a window switch to active off of RPM & TPS. We would also recommend a nitrous inline filter to keep the solenoids free of debris that some mother bottles may put in the bottle when filling bottles. Most shops use a nitrous filter when pumping and filling into a bottle. But a filter is recommended. Of course when it comes to using nitrous you will want to switch to a non projected 2 step colder plug. On a 150 shot I would recommend that you use a NGK BR7EF spark plug start gap .030"-.032" If you have any questions feel free to call me 254-848-4300 EXT 109 or email me houston@nitrousoutlet.com
You will also want to have an upgraded fuel pump and a hot wire kit for your vehicle as well. This will allow your fuel system to adequately handle 150 shot. We have found the stock wiring of the fuel pump not able to handle the voltage supply to feed the pump. This will allow the pump to not function properly and can cause a lean condition if you decide to spray 150 shot. Going with a racetronix set up will surely fix and handle your fuel system to allow 150 shot

Thanks for the information. I was tracki g most of it. I also already have (not installed) the Racetronix fuel pump. I was no tracking the window switch but I will do some research. I am trying to get everything needed to run it as safe as possible. Thanks again.
I"m glad we spoke on the phone and I was able to answer all your questions. I look forward to helping you and answering any more technical questions while helping you gain more knowledge of nitrous. - Houston
