Probably the best way to do it is wet kit introducing the NOS at the fuel injectors... not a whole lot of room on the radix for this setup.

Ever looked at a carburated engine w/ a blower? Every bit of fuel and air goes through the blower... and the ones who spray also have a plate between the carbs and the blower, unless of course its a direct port.

get that tune safe and run good fuel. from what i have seen over and over thats all you have to do.

i would be a little worried going over a 100wet shot thru the blower but would probably still do it.

Just looking at it with the long runner off to the side between the TB and compressor you could see why. This is done to keep it low profile and under the hood. Most carburated blowers have the carbs on top and everything flows downward from there.

To clarify my statements of opinion. I would not wet spray a radix for fear of backfire. I would not consider more than a 50-75 dry shot with my radix for fear of engine damage on my daily driver.

If it were a weekend warrior. I would already have 100 wet shot on it.

I think that's what they determined happened with he vette I was talking about. It puddled in the manifold (under the blower) and blew the blower off it's base.
