I talked to guy in a nitrous 96 LT1 Impala, running 14.20's on a 100 shot.

He told me he was building an SS with a Magnacharger and nitrous, 100 shot. I thought that was a big shot.

The most I would run is a 50 shot, probably 35 is optimum for realiability purposes.

 

2toneblown sprayed a wet 50 shot on his radix 5.3 and gained 75rwhp. Although he said something about the head gaskets being nearly shot when they took the heads off. I would just make sure your tune is safe enough. Nitrous + detonation = pop

 

I heard that you can't run nitrous through the blower or at least it is not good for it. I would think a direct port system would work well with a radix.

 

03GMC, how are you going about doing the meth injection?
Thanks,
Damon

 

I thought I read some where that meth injection and the radix don't match up too good. I probably missed something. I just wanna know cause Im real close to getting the radix and would like to know this info.

 

Looking for the same info. 50 shot with he Radix, wey/dry?? Somebody has done it out there.....

 

They say meth is not good because it causes the coating on the rotors to flake off over time.

As far as nitrous, 2toneblown ran a 50 wet shot and he gained 75 rwhp. A guy that F8L knows was running a 75 shot through his radix 6.0 SS silvy and running 12.5's I believe.

It can be done, just have to be careful. A blower backfire will blow the charger right off the intake manifold.

 

I should change my sig, because I'm probably not going to spray meth, but denatured alcohol or a alky/water mix which is supposed to be alot less corrosive (or maybe not corrosive at all?). I heard about the coating flaking off, but Brian told me that that was just with the older gen eatons. So I think I'm going to try an alky kit and see if I can get more timing out of the tune. I've been trying to decide between the snow performance, alky control or SMC kits......

 

Just put a set of cometic gaskets on your truck. My truck handled it fine. Yes the stock 50K mile head gaskets were almost shot when i pulled the motor apart, but what do you expect from a kid that was out at the street races or track every weekend going through about 5 bottles a week? I was making 475 on stock internals. I personally think it will be fine if you put some good head gaskets on it. LS1s LOVE nitrous
