Default Nitrous with Radix

I want more out of my current combination in my signature and I think getting a nitrous set up may be the easiest, cost effective way. Just a 50 shot, 75 max.

My questions; What system have people used? Wet/dry? How big of a shot? Limitation of stock internals? Effect on blower rotors?

Thanks. I want high 12's in street trim. Right now Im in the high 13's full weight of 5220 with me in it on 22's.

well, the first thing that comes to mind is that 60'. Some smart suspension choices will help you out in that area quite a bit, I'm thinking drag tires as well here.

you might be able to drop off a few tenths right there.

beyond that, I think a 50 shot would be nice

I seriously doubt your truck weighs even the rcsb with weight reduction are weighing in at 4100 or so.

I'm kind of thinking of doing the same thing. Without getting into building a big time motor with forged internals, and stuff, it looks like the best way would be to spray about a 50-100 dry shot before the maf. That way, you would get the boosting qualities of the nitrous, and the cooling effect it gives to the iat's. If you spray before the maf, the pcm should make up the fueling difference, within reason. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
