I Wanna Spray!
This thread gave me a good laugh.
We offer a dry and wet hidden kit.
We have alot of customers that race for money.We also have alot of hustlers that use our systems.Its not always the case that they are hidding the fact they are running nitrous.In some casses it is that they are trying to make it less obvious how much nitrous they are running.
In alot of cases racing for money has several tricks into it.Since way back people have kept as little about there set ups to them self.I see nothing wrong with it.I think it makes it more interesting.
If I was racing for money and someone asked I would not deny it because that would be lying.If I didnt want them to know what I have I would just tell them that I was keeping whats in the car to myself.

It's all in fun though, so I don't care if people know I have it or not.

Sounds like dry is the simple way to go for begginners so thats probably what i'll end up doing.
If I buy a complete kit will I need to have my car tuned? Can I run it with the stock tune reliably?
How much is a refill on the bottle? How long will the bottle last?

" anyway. Hell it was best said if I pop my hood only the person I'm racing will see and it will cost him. So if he wants to pay for information that he will share with the public so be it.

2) What's especially nice about N2O is that it only affects your car when in use (unlike TC/SC which is always on) but you are asking for trouble. Nitrous will foul your plugs rather quickly on a stock tune, especially if you use it a lot.
3)Depends, CA (like everything else out there) is probably more expensive. Contact a supplier in your area.
4)Again, it depends on use. A 10lb bottle = ~4 - 6 passes at the track, (depending on size of shot)

Thanks for the reply, If i get my car tuned for nitrous will I lose power when Im running without it?(compared to the stock tune?)
It would kinda suck if my car was slower all the tme until I used nitrous.

For street racing I like the dual stage. All my stuff is out in the open, on display. But they don't know how much or when I am spraying. So you get beat on your first stage, then you reel in the big fish and arm your 2nd stage and go home with a wallet that's hard to get in pocket. It's all about how you play the game, you will get beat, but in long run can you come out on top, yes. Been doing a little street racing since the mid '70's, that's why I don't post numbers, why give unneeded advantage, but will be giving this up soon.
Now, if you decide on a dry hidden set-up Nitro dave has a nice set-up and the NOS 5177 needs to be considered. Both are very safe, reliable and cost effective. You don't need to pull timing, up-grade fuel (change plugs though) on the small dry hits, so stock tune is fine on stockish motor. Also, either one of these kits can be upgraded later to wet (Dave's kit?), larger dry or dual stage if you like. Great starter kits.

You really need to contact Nitrous Dave. He will patiently answer all of your questions, and set you up with exactly what you need, at a reasonable price.
There's a lot more to it than just the nitrous. IMO, you'd be making a mistake if you didn't purchase all of the safety stuff that goes with it.

I have a question about this statement. Lets say for my case, a 150 wet shot, creating a new map with timing out would make my car a dog N/A wouldn't it? Or can you have the computer pull that map when the nitrous system is armed? Yeah you can get more power from the tune, but if your taking out timing, do the two really balance each other out?
What does ls1 edit run for? or would it be just better to have it dyno tuned somewhere instead of buying edit?
