Default Help with NOS dry kit...

I've made up my mind I wanna go dry and that it's going to be a new NOS kit because I can get one at cost. I also want it to be as stealth as possible and want it with a 10LBS tank because I don't think a 15LBS would fit in the spare tire area. There's this kit that sounds like it comes with everything except injectors. It looks like the fuel pump it comes with though replaces the stocker and I don't really feel like dropping the gas tank or cutting a hole in my car from the top... And from what I was reading is that you don't really need a new fuel pump, just bigger injectors. I'm at 385hp right now in my '98 Camaro and wanna do a 100rwhp shot eventually. I've been reading up on this the past couple of days, but there is so much info out there it gets confusing. Thanks for any help.

Here's the kit I'm talking about Part #: 05176NOS :

The aux pump in the kit is an addition to your existing pump, no replacing just adding. This kit uses the additional pump to spike the fuel pressure which tricks existing injectors into being bigger threw a higher fuel pressure. Really, unless your injectors have a lot of miles on them the kit is designed to use stock injectors.
Also, the 15lb will fit IIRC, and a 15 means less refills and more consistant ET because of less pressure drop per run.
The ltx dry kits work a little differnt than the lsx dry kits.

What does IIRC mean? Where would the pump mount then? My stock injectors have 130K miles on them. Is the kit I listed for an LTx?? Thanks

IIRC, if I remember correctly. NOS has a manual for it that you can down load and get all the specifics on install. Yes the the 5176 is for the lt1, and the 5177 is for the ls1.

Ok, thanks. Looks like I'll be getting the 5177 kit. I heard that NOS doesn't rate their jets at rwhp. Is that true? And is there anyway that I could install this kit so it isn't noticeable in the engine bay?

True, a 100shot is really about 85rwhp.

What would be the best way to install it to make it the least noticeable?

That's about right, I'm spraying a 115 shot and picked up a 100rwhp, but 191rwtq using the 5177 NOS dry kit. I also went with the 15lb bottle and it is mounted in the spare tire area.

Cool, thanks for the info. That's a lot of torque! Do you have any pictures your bottle mounted?

FWIW, I picked up over 300lbs ft of torque on a 170rwhp hit at 3200rpm, so don't let anyone try and tell ya, dry doesn't hit like wet.
