Noob with a 402 to spray
Noob with a 402 to spray It is a 402 c.i. Ls1 stroker,designed by Wheel 2 wheel power train. It is a 6.0 liter iron, truck block. It has a Forged 4" nitrated Callies crank, Forged Howard's connecting rods, and Forged Mahle 12cc pistons W/dual valve reliefs. These are the "shorty pistons". It has a custom ground Competition Cams, camshaft in it with .598/.598 lift. Federal Mogul and Clevite bearings. The engine is topped off with Ported and Polished Heads. They have heavy duty valves for nitrous, and dual Bee hive springs. The compression is 11.2:1. They were built by wheel2wheel. 90mm F.A.S.T intake and throttle body. The engine has only had 400 break in miles on it and has not even had a tune yet. W2W says it is a 600 flywheel HP engine, that is capable of a 500 shot of Nitrous. (this is description given to me)
I don't want to run 500 shot, I was thinking more like 200-250 shot. The thing I want is a progressive, staged or whatever direct port set up with all the accessories supporting parts. I don't want a 200 hp shot to hit suddenly. This is not really a 1/4 mile car, I just want to play around on a long long stretch of road, like the Silver State Classic, standing mile runs etc.. Like I said I'm a noob to the N2O world so please no disparaging remarks.

500 shot might be getting a little hectic, i think 200-300 is the zone you want to be in. Give us a call and we can definitly set you up with a good kit that will meet your needs. We have a few kits that should work well with your setup and are easily adjustable if you ever decide to go bigger.
Like Matt said a 500 shot is more than you want to throw at it.
200 to 250 is very doable. A directport is a great way to go. However at that HP level a nice plate system would be fine. If you plan on going up to or over a 300 shot in the future now would be the best time to go with a directport.
When picking the system and the progressive controller you want to use make sure the controller can handle the amp load of the solenoids.
Here is a link with alot of the custom directports we have done. Take a look and see if there is something you like in there. We specialize in Directport applications as well as high hp combinations.

if appearance is a concern of yours, our kits are completly customizable, you get to select the solenoid brackets, hose color and fittings. It makes for a real sexy install if your trying to get a color theme to accent your engine bay. When it comes down to function our plate is one of the only FULL 360 degree spray patterns on the market which leads to great distribution. if you do want to go with a bigger shot we can point you toward one of our brute force nozzle kits or a direct port. I'll PM you some the direct port installs we have done over the years.
If you have an questions feel free to give as a shout, we would love to help you out.

Could I send my FAST into you and have it set up or do I order a kit and have a local performance shop do the install? I was told that with a direct port set up I would have to have much more control but would need constant tuning to keep things safe. Is this correct? I don't mind taking the car in like once or twice a year for a check up, but I don't want to be in the shop every month getting a dyno tune.
I'm not worried about appearance, but it would be nice to pop the hood and have something intimidating looking back, but I am much more function over form.
Thanks.
