At least one preferably two steps colder.
[b]for anything over a 65 shot yes
Exhaust is a must for any shot of NOS.
uh, why?
A cooler thermostat and some coolant additive, like Redline Water Wetter is a good idea as well.
good idea, but running nos down a track for 15s isnt gonna skyrocket your engine temps
An oil cooler is a good idea for anything over 65HP.
is the stock oil cooler insuficcient?
Stronger internals are a must for anything over 100HP.
im not sure where you heard this, stronger internals wouldent stop detonation
I am by no means an expert.
agreed
Others will have more and perhaps better advice.[/b]
not to bash you but your a little ways off
the main thing you are concerned about when dealing with nitrous is detonation and running lean
Dry System one nitrous nozzle 6" before the throttle body, in a dry setup the first few cylinders (via the UIM) get more nitrous the the last few, and there is no stand alone fuel adder (wet style)
to run more than a 65-70 shot you need the following:
high octane gas (prefferably with octane booster)
Fuel pressure regulator or other fuel managment device
if running more than a 100 shot dry (not reccomended) you MUST have a AirFuel ratio gauge to measure lean/rich situation, when running nos richer is better
also MUST have a ignition module, or Chip to retard ignition timing at higher RPM or risk detonation
going from 100-150 shot its pretty safe if you use a wet system
Wet System :
separate nozzles for each cylinder via the UIM, with the nitrous jets, Fuel also gets sprayed in, usually enough fuel to support the engine if the primary source gets cut off somehow, this is safer because as opposed to dry systems (where the first cyclinders get more N20 than the rest causing premature engine wear) and also adds fuel to make sure you never lean out (and blow your motor) if running a wet setup i would definately reccomend iridium spark plugs (denso makes them for our car)
also reccomended for 100-150 shot, chip or module to retard timing by 2-3 degrees
and im spent
