Heres my question?Just installed my nx kit and i was wondering, if i have to worry about tie rod's snapping with 150 shot launch in 4 hi.Did it today vs a o3 hemi and all i can say is wow!Buslengths instantly!

 

Off the line, you have to worry about nutrous backfires and possible engine damage. That said, I do it too and its a huge rush when it takes off. Also, thats a big hit of torque on the transmission. With 4WD, the trans gets hit with every bit of that torque. The 4L60 you have won't live long doing that launch regularly. My old Z71 held up to a dozen nitrous launches with no problems. But others have broken parts with less.

 

Thx Big Tex for advice im a newbie to this stuff.Heres another question for you.I had a highly recomended f body shop perform nitrous install,and the recomended azsm injectors and extra inline fuel pump necasary or not>?

 

Injectors won't be needed because you are running a wet shot so the nozzle compensates for the extra fuel. I don't think that the fuel pump is necessary, but wouldn't be bad to get it as a precaution.

 

YA I bet that is fun You lucky people with traction!!!

Just like others have said though...save some cash for a backup/built tranny because it will need it someday with that abuse

 

well i have a ss and when i race i would spray right off the line. the tranny lasted for about 40 or 50 passes down the track and lots of playing on the street. and the tranny didnt' break on the take off. when it shifted from 2nd to 3rd is when it gave out. i am still waiting to rebuild mine with some stronger parts before i go out and run n2o. i am also going to get a intank fuel pump because i have a fuel pressure guage and it goes down alot when i am spraying. but with not alot of mods i wouldn't get the injectors

 

i sprayed out of the hole many times with every vehicle i have ever had. no problems till i got my 03 silverado. i had more than one nitrous back fire with this truck. i would recomend carrying a fire extinguisher if you plan on doing it.

you can do it much more safely with a stall and a window switch. something like a 3000stall and a window switch set at 2800rpm would give you an even better launch and have no backfire risk's.

 

I remember the pictures of your nitrous backfire....ugly.

Listen to Parish, he knows how to make em fast, and break em fast.

 

i havent went with it on a launch. but i plan on trying it soon. my main concern will be traction.

 

I did mine once off the line with a 150 shot and I left a 30ft patch with my drag radials on.
