Default NOS is in!!!!!

Well guys It's finally all in there I dithced the dry nos kit in favor of a wet shot of NX, I love it, I just have 2 questions I hope u guys can answer,#1 It seems to want to periodically shut down now this is only my 2nd day with it but is it the fuel pressure, I have a safety swith, it seems to do it at high rpm's? If I need a fuel pump where is a good place to get one??? Also what do you guys think it will run now I'm using a 150 shot 33 fuel and 62 n2o?

Cool!! Why did you dump the dry kit? How does the wet kit hook up? Does it have a fogger nozzle or a spacer plate?

Just has a fogger installed into the intake, the other kit I just didn't feel right about the tee in the fuel injection vacuum left me somewhat scared to push the button, also I heard the torque with the wet kit is off the hook they are right!!!!!!!!

You might want to autotap it. I have two sets of directions for the NX kit. One says use the 33 fuel pill, another says use the 35 fuel pill for a 150 shot. Don't let it run lean. Ask FAST 4.8 about running lean and why his nitrous isn't hooked up right now. If you think you are dropping fuel presure, back it off to a 125 shot and see how it runs.

That NX torque kick A$$ doesn't it!

I am sure someone else knows. If you go, I will most likely be down there, hopefully with a new tranny and some more mods. Kent.

This will not be too easy with a suspension drop and 18's. The 18's alone add quite a bit of unsprung weight and your tires are not going to give much before spinning. Asuming you are able to keep you 60ft under a 2.3 you have 13.1-13.5. Anything above a 2.3 and it'll depend on have fast you can recover with the nitrous.

The truck does not do to bad as far as traction goes. I have the nitrous on a button inside the truck , not WOT switch. So I can nail it out of the whole the tires break but only momentarily then at 3000 rpm I get on the bottle as long as it isn't to hot out the tires won't break loose but one time they did and all the way thru 1st gear <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> What about letting some air out of the tires does this work????if so what PSI would you reccomend, I have 255/55's. I would love to meet up with some of you so cal guys I'll keep you posted <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
