First Thread in Nitrous Section!

Nitro Dave at Nitrous Outlet (largest NX dealer in country) used my car to make a few products off of. The plate that fits in the console area folds up and hides away. The truck bracket bolts directly to the support beams behind the carpet. It turned out great and I couldn't be happier.

Very cool setup, especially the control system pictured above. Not knowing a lot about the use of funny gas, is this a dry or wet setup? How much of a bump does this system provide?

It's a wet kit. Take a look at the 2nd pic. The red inlet on the right side of pic is fuel, the blue on left Nitrous. When activated fuel and nitrous will spray at the same time mix together (atomize) and be routed with the rest of the air. A dry kit will usually spray nitrous into your air intake, before the MAF sensor. The MAF will then add the compensate for this and add more fuel, flowing it through the injectors, thats why those with dry kits sometimes need larger injectors.

The HP additions are dependent on the jetting I put in the plate, again see pic 2. Bigger jets will flow more N2O and more fuel. I've had as large as a 150 shot (+150 rwhp) on the dyno, but plan to keep the 100 shot jets in for the most part.

That ought to be standard equipment.

Awesome! Any damage running nitrous that much?

I've only gone through 3 bottles, haven't used it that often.
We pulled my heads again last weekend to put ARP head studs in. You can still see the hash marks in the cyliders which means their still in really good condition.

I recall years ago when N2O was not really recommended if you wanted your engine to last. I suspect that, like all technology, nitrous technology has improved to such a point that it is much more safe.

I am considering nitrous once I have completed my heads/cam upgrade. At this point I suspect that I will need to make some drive train upgrades.

Just like any power adder it will cause more stress on the engine. Nitrous is probably more notorious for this since the power is instantaneous. There is no curve when it hits, it looks like this "/" I'll try to post a dynograph early next week.
However LSX engines are great at handling this, as long as you are safe on the fuel side the engine can last 100k miles.
