thinkin about nitrous...
thinkin about nitrous... My car is bone stock except for adjustable shocks, hooker muffler, and a short throw shifter. Is it completely and utterly retarted to put nitrous on it before I do all the bolt ons? Just wondering because i am all the sudden fascinated by nitrous even though I have always thought I would never want it.
What kit is the very best for just occasional street and or strip use, and when I say best the only thing that matters to me is NOT blowing up my motor cuz I cant afford to do that. Thx - Darren

You'd be fine on a small shot. Make sure you swap out your spark plugs (NGK TR6s) and pick up a window switch & fuel pressure safety switch. As far a wet kit or a dry kit they both have there pluses and minuses. You can do a search about them for specific info, but I usually suggest a wet kit. The reason is most people start increasing their jet sizes over time and with a dry kit you'll eventually have to upgrade your injectors. So while the dry kit might be cheaper now over the long run it could be more expensive. Take a look at our kits:

If you want a no hassle kit that you only use everynow and then, the dry NOS 5177 is the way to go. It was the first mod to my car and I loved it. However, with in a month or two I wanted to make big power and I ended up switching over to a wet set up. It's just easier to make 150+hp with a simple wet kit versus the 5177. There is alittle more maintenance involed with the wet kits and I don't feel that they are as safe as the 5177.
thanks for the info guys.... is basically what i HAVE to have the kit, window switch, wot switch, FPSS, and thats it?? i have a 98 does that mean anything extra?? do i really NEED the bottle heater and stuff like that? thanks - darren

And a set of spark plugs (NGK TR6s are good). Most kits come with a WOT switch. Another option to that would be a TPS switch. We have those as well, just not up on the site yet. I put the bottle heater on a wet kit as necessary list. It keeps the temperature of the nitrous regulated, and does what XTrooper said above.
