Since you are in fact running a wet shot, you could also run a seperate fuel cell for the nitrous side and run race fuel only in there. I have heard of people running meth in place of fuel on the wet side for the nitrous, but I believe it requires more than 2times the jet size for fuel to make up for the difference. If you had your own tuning software you could have your tuner set you up with2 tunes (nitrous and no nitrous) that you'd simply load yourself according to how you wanted to run it. One nice thing about having tuning software even if you don't know how to tune is that you can still use the logging software to show your tuner as well as load the tunes from your tuner. You're still letting the professional tune your truck, you just don't have to have him there to load it.

A really great idea,and maybe worth the cost of hpt right there.

I'm not sure of anyone on here doing this, but I've talked with a few guys from my local track doing this. It took many tries to get it working right, but they are very happy with the results. If I recall it was something like 2.7:1 or so flow difference in meth to gas. It takes more than double the meth volume to get the same a/f ratio as doing the same job with gas.

I know of someone one that has a 1 or 2 gallons fuel cell just for his nitrous, which he runs hi octane, and the fuel cell is mounted right under his K&N filter on a CAI. pretty good idea if you ask me...
