Default Recomendations On NX Amount ?

Have car listed in sig. Wnated some recomendations on a safe amount of spray to run on car without worrying to much about damaging anything. i am going to get a good nx kit. preferably one that is tps controlled with maf. Was thinking maybe 50 shot 75 ? Just that edge i mught need just in case.

You'll get very mixed opinions on this subject. I lurk around with a 50 shot on my 408ci and i can DEFINITELY feel it.

a 50 or 75 shot on your setup (with proper fuel system) will be a lot of fun.

I'd say 100 shot minimum other wise it won't be worth it.

I agree, it's not worth it for a super small shot. I would say 75 bare minimium. Are you still running a stock fuel pump?

Stock fuel pump yes. I really just want to make sure that I won't be in danger of damaging anything. Just want that extra push. If I go with 100 shot will it be safe? my thinking with the 50 is that I can use it with no worries. Which would be nice.

My goal is saftey. I really just don't want to over do it. I am going to rebuild the bottom end xmas 2006' so i figure untill then I would like to have something in case. Just don't want to kill it. Emphasis on safe without damage.

With your h/c package and a 100 shot, your stock fuel pump might not keep up. But with a fuel pump, good kit, and maybe a touch up to the tune, a 100 shot should be perfectly safe with your set up.

With a 75 shot, you'll be fine. That what I was spraying since I installed my kit and what I ran the times in my signature with. I very recently bumped it up to a 100 shot, but my fuel pump was running out of steam. I just installed a Lingenfelter upgraded fuel pump in it last night, but haven't gotten to test the system with it yet.

P.S.- Don't bother with a 50 shot. If you're going to spray at all, do at least a 75.

Well, for those of us that do bother with a 50 shot... sometimes it's all you can spray since you're on stock tires


That will change next weekend though

Well, stock tires can handicap almost any mod. Luckily, however, this problem can be easily rectified.

At the same time I plan on getting bigger injectors and a new tune. The current tune I have is for my last cam. Not the one in my sig. So as of right now New tune Bigger injectors 75 shot will be more than safe. I plan on getting the best nx kit I can for under a grand. Thanks for all the help. This is why I love this site.

Is this a dry or wet kit you're planning on? As you probably know, when using a wet kit, the injectors aren't a factor in fuel delivery, so the bigger injectors wouldn't be necessary unless you're getting them for future mods.
