Default nitrous on a 5.3

I have a 5.3 with some bolt ons and tuner, stock 4l60e with vette servo, what would be a safe shot of nitrous to run for my setup?

Posted in the wrong section, but, your programmer will add timing which is not what you need for nitrous. I don't know if your diablo can retard the timing, a rule of thumb is retard the timing 2* for every 50hp to start. Some have run a 75 to 100 hp shot on a stock tune. a set of NGK TR6's are some cheap insurance.

Yeah it does. Everyone just wants someone to say it'll be fine up to: ____ , It's just not that simple.

The search button still works.

The diablo and throttle body spacer will make your truck impossible to blow.

I say run like a 250shot to start off, make sure you get some vids of the truck once you hit it that bish should move out......

I tried looking up posts with the same subject, but I couldn't really find anything and I didn't wanna be searching for hours. I just want a shot thats not gonna cause any problems with what I got, plus theres 113k miles on it. 250 shot?! that seems a little much for a stock motor

Do not spray a 250 shot on a stock motor!
