Default About to feel nitrous for the first time ever...

My Nitrous system is finally complete. Everything is hooked up and wired as of about an hour ago. Once I put my TR6s in tomorrow I'm gonna go out and spray for the first time, eventually working up the jets to a 100hp dry shot on my bolt on car. What exactly should I be looking for when spraying? How should I test it? Any helpful indicators that may occur?

Well to start hold a steddy rev and tap the nitrous button a couple times to purge the system, as long as it hits and doesnt bust up or start pinging you should be good. 100 shot isnt that big really, not on your car, however if it was a honda it would feel like you got rearended.

100 shot is pretty small and i can't see any problems that you would have.But if you get on the bottle and the car starts missing poping or any goofy thing like that get out of it and try to figure it out don't just stay on the hammer thinking it will clear up.Nitrous tune is very clean power.Good luck and im sure the bigger nitrous pills will be going in shortly.

Yes a 100 shot isnt a real big difference I mean you can feel it and your rpms wil rise much faster. But its not nothing amazing. Thats why im going to a 150 wet shot next week!

You will have lots of wheel spin in the first 1,2,3, gear shifts.

If you want to get a more accurate feel of 100 more hp. Activate (throttle wide open)your nitrous at 55mph while cruising in forth gear.

Cruising in fourth at 55mph will be too low rpm Im assuming to spray. Need to be at 3k to spray, thats what the manuf. recommend.

ehh i dont really feel the 100 shot... i know when its comin on and all that but its no kick in the ***. i was thinking of bumping the jets up to 150 to see if im satisfied for a little while. i do use the 100 with some pretty good success and the mph gains are there but my ET's gains suck.
