how about flowing your nitrous fuel side for those that have seperate fuel cells? i know alot of people DO know, and it's probably simple, but i'm sure there are those that are looking to step up their system.

how about all the NHRA/IHRA rules that go along with the proper running of lines/wiring/etc...

ok i'm out of better ideas

Here's a few for you:
1) In depth explanation of "pusher" system
2) Explanation of how to properly tune(flow) each cylinder when using a direct port
3) features, wiring, programming of the NX maximizer

Not really the NX product line, but an indepth coverage of the Timing Tuner. Hell this is one subject thats brought up a lot, butI still have no idea on how much timing it can pull!

Also, how about dry tuning, like pulling timing using it. Several ppl seem to know how, but like anything else its more of intellectual property when you ask "how do I tune it like that?"

A question if anyone wants to answer....is there any difference (excluding the bending) b/w hard line and soft lines from the blocks to the nozzles when plumbing a DP? I want to setup a custom DP, but really dont like the hard lines, but if there is a limitation on the softlines that would be something to consider.

how about octane requirements for large shots
proper AF ratios for certain size shots
plug gaps and plug heat ranges
max HP capabilties for certain size N20 lines -3, -4, -6 AN
nozzle placement in the intake
cam selection with nitrous
running EFI pressure VS carb pressure setups
alternate fuels such as propane
optimum compression ratios for a nitrous motor
Tq spikes down low with a single stage kit and benifits of dual stage or progressive
MAX egts while running juice ( I need that info)
proper bottle fill from your local speedshop , dangers of overfill...etc
techniques for sealing leaky fittings or lines

Ill think of more later...im beat.

These are some great ideas already. How about setting your fpss I see lots of people running these and having trouble. How about hp rating on main feed lines? Nitrous solonoid orfice size max flow. jetting we could talk about jetting around here for weekslets talk direct port jetting vs fuel pressure. Maybe get more indepth on direct port on tuneing and timing.We could even talk wiring dif kits. wer vs dry tuning.

I think a thread about the proper A/F ratio would be good too. I think most of us shoot for 11.0-11.5 for a mild shot (150 or so). But every time some ones asks about a/f ratios we usually get acouple of wild card people saying low to mid 11s is too rich, bump it up to 12.0-12.5. It would be nice to have a thread to refer too. Also, my kit seems to make less torque twards the 12.0 range (butt dyno) so if you could give us some dyno refferences too that would be great.

Great Ideas!

Methanol pros, cons & jetting?

That's because different setups like different AFRs.
You're running in the tens with 2.73's, so your engine is seeing more load for longer than most will. Your combo will likely perform better running richer than others.
Some combo's will like AFRs in the 13's. It all depends on the burn speed and many other factors that affect burn speed.

There is no blanket rule to cover everyone correctly.

How about, how bottle press affects manufactures rated HP. Or, upping bottle pressure to make more HP with same jet? Benifits of minimizing torque spike and lean spike through dual stage or even triple stage.

What do you consider big? Some think 150 is big, rant that on stock setup. Some say 200, ran that with a couple different cams. Some say 300, which I will be running shortly with forged 347, YEP the cam is spec'd for Nitrous in that range And then theres ppl like Al and some other running either multiple stages and or the SX2 DP setup jetting from 300-500, that to me is big.

Thanks guys for all your inputs, I have copied them to word and will start working on them right away.
Z284U2TRY I will repost the FPSS link, it shows the setting of your FPSS.
