hey guys im new to nitrous im looking into doing a 150 shot....i have a 5.3 what should i look for whats the does and donts??? im used to all motor builds this will be my first nitrous job. please help me i feel stupid but ima fast learner

 

Id do TR6 spark plugs, 93 OCT, and a good tune.. You should be good to go from there. And if you got a few extra bucks, go with a plate. They are nice!!


150 shot knocked off 2.1 seconds for my tow truck in my sig \/

 

ooo lawdy as for a good tune im doing a bully dog programmer....should i get something different?

 

YES!! they dont have a nitrous tune do they?

Get tuning software, or atleast get a custom tune.

You need to pull about 4-6* timing for the 150 shot, handheld programmers are goin to add timing.

Now i have seen somebody run a superchips on the 87oct tune but run 93 oct fuel and spray a 125 wet shot. it worked, but a custom tune can get it close for good power and safe for the motor.

 

NOS is a brand. That's the first lesson to learn.

Anyways, the better alternative to the TR6's would be NGK BR7EF's. A bit colder plug would do you better. The Bully Dog programmer is paper weight. Sell it, get a real tune, and get your timing right--a wideband wouldn't hurt either. Go for a wet kit. A wet kit will just be easier for you, all around. I like NX, but Nitrous Outlet is a good player in the game. I use a torch to heat my bottle, but the entire site will recommend a bottle heater. A bottle heater is safer, but you choose. A Walbro 255 wouldn't hurt, either. You really don't need it, but since you're on PT.net, you'll need it. It's all about how much money you want to spend and just how well you want everything pieced together. You can cut corners, but all of the stuff above will have you set.

 

i knew someone was gunna slam me for that ok soo i jus cancelled my order for the bully currently getting a price for the fuel pump....so my question is this...i was looking at NX...i was at a show saw a truck with dual bottle set up in his bed one on each side...how do i go about running that? wet is obviously preferred over dry as ive been reading if im not mistaken and as far as dual stage how exactly does that work?

sorry for all the questions but im a complete newbie to the liquid

 

In the most plain way I can explain it... A "dual stage" is essentially two kits. You don't need two bottles, or two kits. A single kit is plenty on a stock/mild truck. Look up a Proton Plus kit (not drive-by wire or any b.s. like that), or even a main-line kit. You can use a window switch (allows you to spray in between a certain rpm), a wot switch (sprays when floored/activated/etc.), or just run a buttion, that allows it all to be up to you. The accessories available really allow it all to be as simple or as complicated as you want to make it--bottle openers, heaters, billet brackets, all of the monitoring available, etc. Just read up on it. Nitrous is pretty simple. On the right, look up Nitrous Outlet or NX and get in touch with them. Both have good customer service, and they can both answer your specific questions on each brand.

 

thank you very much sir i appreciate everything.... is ZEX any good? yay or nay aha cause eventually thinking of doing the LSXRT intake manifold i like what it did for my trans am.

 

No problem. I don't like ZEX's stuff. That's just me. You'll be fine with the stock truck intake, unless you're wanting to plumb the FAST itself.

 

thats the number one thing thats stopping me from pulling the trigger aha i hated plumbing the ws6 probably just gunna go with NX Dual stage...

last question i swear ahaa the whole purge that people like doing that to just relieve pressure correct?
