Getting ready to back out again! I am getting ready to install a TNT kit (100 shot) on my car in the next few days and I am having second thoughts about it. This is the THIRD kit I have bought now. I sold the other two because I wussed out. Alot of people tell me that it is ok if you follow all of the precautions but then other guys like "Juicin" on here says it beats the hell out of your engine. I have heard a few guys on here say that they have sprayed their car for the last 40k miles with 80k on the odometer with no problems. Then I read that someone in the streetracing/kill section ruined 7 cylinders with a NX150 shot in a fresh 02 motor. My engine has 42k on it.
This is what I bought and know to do. If I'm missing anything at all, please let me know.
-Window Switch- 3000-6200, shift at 6600.
-WOT Switch
-FPSS
-Fuel Pressure Gauge
-Nitrous Pressure Gauge
-Only spray between 950-1050 pounds
I was reading on here also that someone wired in an additional FPSS with the Nitrous solenoid so that the nitrous solenoid won't activate until nitrous fuel pressure has been reached. This way, the fuel sprays first and then the nitrous goes next. It probably creates a rich spike for a second but it is much better than a lean spike. The point is to get the fuel to the engine first since it takes longer for the fuel to reach the motor than the nitrous.
Since I'm confused on how that would wire up and I wanted to relocate my solenoids anyway so I was thinking about using three of four-foot long nitrous lines instead of the one-foot lines it comes with. The fuel lines are one foot long so in theory, this would give the fuel a headstart to the engine... but like I said, it's just a theory. Any suggestions, insight, advice, warnings? Thanks - Mike W.

There is a guy by my house, he is an older man that loves to street race. He has a full bolt on 98 TA with a 150 Dry shot, he sprays the **** outta it & has been for over 80k miles. Some people get lucky & some don't. If you set your system up safely then you should be OK. Hook it up, spray it once & then decide if you want to get rid of it. My bet is that you'll keep it. If you want an extra bit of safety, get a Ramchargers Timing Tuner.
