Nitrous set up question

supermech21 · Sep 12, 2007

Ok I hate to whore up the forums (i posted last week) but I didnt really get the answer I was looking for and the thread turned in another direction....Just looking for some simple answers about the set up below:

How much will the engine hold? Hsp wise? Nitrous shot wise?

gt40x aluminum heads
-e-303 cam
-edelbrock performer rpm intake manifold
-bbk longtubes
-dr. gas off road x-pipe
-flowmater 2 chamber mufflers in a slp catback
-pulleys
-densecharger cai
-24 pound injectors
-190 lph fuel pump
-adjustable fuel regulator
-mass air sensor
-3.73 gears

Is their anything else I should consider adding for a nitrous shot set up for a 150 shot, other than:
NOS Plate system
Window switch
Bottle heater
MSD Distributor
MSD 6AL
255 Fuel pump
Smog pump elim
Anderson PMS
Cam (not sure what type but its coming out of my buddys old 5.0 nitrous engine)

Thank you guys

Instead of the 6al...I reccomend a Digital 6. It has a BUILT IN timing retard as well as two step rev limiter among other things. No pills and its all in one box. With the timing retard, you can run FULL timing on motor and when you spray, it will pull timing for you automatically with just one wire hook up. As for the dizzy, unless yours is worn slap out, the stock will do fine. Nitrous pressure gauge to go with your heater. CONSISTENT pressure in the bottle for a CONSISTENT HIT every time. On a stock bottom end, with a good tune, you could spray up to a 175 shot on pump gas through a single nozzle kit. You said you're running a plate though. With a splash of race gas in the tank, I'd venture to push it up to 200hp....but if you're on a stock tranny, and its a car you can't afford to risk breaking, then a 150 shot would be my choice. With some GOOD tires, it COULD be a solid 11second combo.

thanky you very much, thats exactly what im looking for.....stock tranny for now(or atleast it has a little bit stronger than stock tranny, 3650 or something)....after i pay the car off in the spring it will get a slew of driveline upgrades (Tremec 600, Auburn diff, Moser axles) and then a little after that im gonna go with a 347 Boss block and some AFR's....this is just a hold over combo for the time.....thanks again

Very good info. I am in the same boat. Question if my car goes 13.2 now on motor on a 1.8 60'. What is everyones opinion on my car going high 11's on a 125 wet shot of juice? Possibly 150?

Thats ALOT to drop and alot of variables. Your 60 ft seems decent for a 13.2 so I don't think traction is your problem right now. i think you're just a bit down on power. IF you 60 ft can drop on motor and net you a solid 12.90, I'd say then, Yes, you COULD run 11s. Its all speculative though.
