Hi! So do you think with my present power output on the motor, if I go with the MAF system I'll be able to do say a 75-90 shot with my stock fuel pump and 28.8# injectors?

Thanks!

 

HAHAHA

Well, the real problem I ran into is that I don't think I'll be able to raise my engine cover enough to hide the NXL fuel rails without running into interference with my aftermarket hood even those it's domed. I think I'd have issues back by the windshield cowl and I'm just not going to give up that carbon fiber engine cover. I've had it on the car for a four years now and I can't bring myself to part with it. Besides, with the <100 shots I'm planning to run, I don't really need a direct port system. It would be nice, but I'm told it's not critical in my situation.

 

Hell yes!

 

I don't blame you at all...

 

If you are already at 402 HP, then I'd think about a fuel system upgrade. I personally am at 403 RWHP, and at a 12.7 a/f ratio, I'm at about 79% on my factory injectors... if you are looking to add dry to that, I'm thinking that it's gonna be pushing on the factory injectors more then I would want to, and if you are going wet, then I'd add at least a fuel pump.

I look at it this way....

Fuel pump with install >600 dollars

melted piston and other assorted damage due to lean < 7000 dollars

( sure stock motor could be had cheaper then that, but by the time you install it.. and add that fuel system stuff you should have in the first place....... not to mention ya always go bigger which is always more $$ )

On another note.... Dave, did you get my p.m.?

 

I agree. I'm going with a wet kit and am definitely looking into the possibility of a fuel delivery system upgrade. I've been told that the C5 comes with an in-tank Walbro from the factory that is good to 500+ rwhp, but I still need to confirm this. There are a couple of 'Vette tuners I've dealt with in the past (The Vette Doctors and East Coast Supercharging) that I'm going to talk to regarding this whole fuel issue.

 

Try this first before installing new fuel pump. With a wideband, make sure your OEM fuel pump will deliver the optimum 11.7-12.2 air fuel ratio while spraying. You may have to change fuel jets to achieve this goal.

 

When you say fuel jets, are you talking about bigger injectors? Thanks!

 

No, I am talking about the fuel jet before nitrous spray nozzle. Some say all kits are slightly rich from manufactures for added safety, so you may have to lean it out a bit (smaller fuel jet) for best power.

Example Jet sheet for single nozzle 01'-02' Camaro, Firebird NX kit:

75 hp= (N/F 41/22) 100hp= (N/F 52/28) 150hp= (N/F 62/33)

 

Nitro Dave has lots of hands on experience with nitrous, so he would be the one to ask.

 

To the top

 

Just placed my order this afternoon for your Group 2 special, nitrous wet system, and a bunch of other goodies! Thanks for the great July specials, Dave!

 

My Corvette Forum Buddy has come over to the dark side.

Congrats Trooper, Dave is a great guy to deal with. LS1 Tech has a lot of great information on it, especiallyt for N2O. Nice site!

I am just waiting for a few more pieces to arrive from Disco Dave, I mean Nitro Dave,and then I will get it installed

 

Yep, add one more to the list of things I swore I'd NEVER do!

Thanks, amigo! You're right. Dave is a great guy and you can't beat his prices either!

 

Dave, I'm sending you a PM in just a minute with specifics that I would like. Maybe you can help me out or at least point me in the right direction.

Thanks!
