I might do a hundred shawt of naws now

meaning when are you gonna set up the prototype

I dunno... I had the Naaaaawwwwwwzzz kit all tuned and stuff in my last CSVT, and I did a 100shot with a wet kit and I think it was just TOO much for the engine. 75 shot is kinda pushing it, too. I wouldn't throw anything higher than 50 unless you were racing for cash money or something. Because a few 100 shots will more than likly require EXTENSIVE maintenance, tuning, and rebuilding on a consistant basis. So, what woudl I get??

Well, if you are a balla', I would suggest getting the VCN-2000 (abotu 1600 bucks). That is what I have ordered right now. ALL computereized and probably the safest and most reliable nitrous kit on the market.

What woul dbe a close 2nd?

The ZEX wet nitrous kit (about 500 bucks). Damn near as safe, but not computerized/ shuts off if detefcting a lean/rich condition.


I ordered the VCN-2000 kit a month ago and have yet to recieve the dman thing (hard to come by, on backorder right now) because I plan on racing qutie often. I will more than likly sell this beast when the smaller ADC turbo comes out because I enjoy autocross much more.





Oh yeah, holla' at yo boyz!

It's just a matter of getting the air fuel ration correct. NOS by Holley makes on of the safest kits available, not nearly as complex as the Venom kit, but you pay mondo bucks for Venom. A hundred shot would be the limit without getting serious tuning capabilities (i.e. standalone or the pro racer package from SCT). It's a matter of using it wisely and properly maintaining the system to prevent failures. As long as it's properly maintained, it should last for ever. As well as the proper tuning. 75 shot would give decent increase in power and a safe margin. It basically boils down tuning.

Ryan, still not sure what you are refering to. The prototype stand alone for my car? or the nitrous set up?


Robert

the nitrous setup. if its a 1 off then there needs to be a prototype done to make sure all the kinks are worked out and everything is funtioning correctly

It has been done before. Alex (the guy who would be doing it, who's also doing my stand alone) has done it many times before. It's just extensive work. Fuel pumps, Boost-a-pumps, the kit itself, gauges, purge kit, and of course the labor. The pumps are to make sure that fuel pressure and flow are maintained to keep from leaning out. Upgraded injectors are recommended but not nessecary.


Robert
