Re: Nitrous anyone?

Hey thanks for the response. I was beginning to wonder if anybody sprayed their vette!!!

What kit are you running? That's some jump in torque! What was the HP? Using a window switch? (sorry for so many questions) How are you getting fuel to the fuel solenoids---T-ing off of the factory rail?

Thanks for your info!

Scott

Re: Nitrous anyone?

I love you how you say she "runs strong." Yeah, I bet; that's not your everyday "strong running" car - that's an insane monster-beast. You now have the power/weight ratio of a sportbike. Howsoever do you get any traction at all?

Re: Nitrous anyone?

Sick. So nitrous express makes a good system for these cars? I have thought about adding a 75 or 100 shot. Can I go dry with that level? Or would you only go wet. How long does the bottle last in driving?

Re: Nitrous anyone?

This is my 4th NOS ride and all have been wet kits. I prefer wet kits however Carlos or Patrick at Quality Motorsports have done both and these guys are straight! Give them a call and inquire about pros and cons dry vs wet.
The bottle last about 7 quarter mile passes. Although I fill my own bottles so i never run one empty. If I was to do my car all over again I would run a 75 hp dry kit with a Ram clutch and tune. When done correctly NOS is the best bang for the buck!

Re: Nitrous anyone?

I have been looking into it myself and wanting to put NOS on my car but don't know the best way to do it. I know there are different setups but I wanted to do the one that only sprays at WOT. I'm just glad to know there are people out there that spray their Z since all you hear are horror stories...

there is a switch ya get and it allow ya to spray at WOT only.then there is a window switch which you adjust when to come on and off rpm wise,then a clutch switch. my z has no problem breaking the tires loose so NOS is almost untamable.ive got a NOS kit in the garage but traction stops me aside from the 11 to 1 compression ratio
