Nitrous- Preferred kits and companies?

[aculous]

If you don't know what you are talking about don't give bad advice. I've personally used hsw and dynotune kits with good results, my z will be getting a nitrous outlet plate kit. To be safe you need a fuel pressure safety switch, window switch, non projected tip colder plugs, I personally use ngk br7ef plugs, wide band 02 sensor and a good tune. You won't need new pistons if you keep the shot small, and if you go with a wet kit you won't need injectors either, I don't know what the stock fuel system on your car can handle so I don't know if your stock fuel pump can keep up.

thanks bighoss,

FPSS was something I couldn't tell if they had in their kits I will have to ask about that. I was going to go with a aeromotive inline fuel pump, probably talk to them about a FPSS too since I believe they have one for this application. (not sure how much it can support, probably max 400hp but don't know what the translates in glh or whatever metric they use. I'll look it up)

So do you run a nitrous controller as well as a window switch or just a window switch?

And the more I read the more it looks like a wet kit is where I want to be. I am looking at under 120hp shot. A couple other hemi guys with the 5.7L seem to be running 125 shots with no issues. (supporting mods and the right spark plugs of course) [apparently running 30-38 passes on the car with n2o]

Wet kit from Nitrous Outlet or Nitrous Express. If you don't know what your doing or have a shitty tuner the engine will let go. Stock engines can handle nitrous just fine with a good tuner. My black TBSS has had around 25 nitrous passes with a cammed setup. Now has 104k miles and keeps on ticking on the stock block. My white TBSS had 40+ passes before I started building a HCI 408 LQ9 setup.

In my old camaro I just ran a msd window switch with no controller and would dead hook spraying from 2000 to 200 rpm before the shift point on some 275/40/17 nitto 555r's

I am looking at nitrous outlet now, and I had a feeling really on stock parts nitrous was actually a decent option.

nice, yea I was watching some hotrod garage and was surprised at some of the simple controllers for these things. Only thing holding me back at this point other then obviously funds...which well give me 2 weeks. Is the spark plug thing....since its a daily driver I don't want to switch out plugs at the track. I mean its not impossible but kinda a pain. we'll see though, I definitely go the bug and a couple friends are starting to bracket race and have been getting me out to test and tune nights...

You will be fine, I daily drove on the be7ef's

i have a Holley NOS kit on my Lex (100 shot) Works great! I don't have any experience with the other brands so i can't say if they are good or bad.

i've ran NOS, NX, and Zex. Zex being the most recent. I loved the install that the Zex kit offered, they were extremely conservative on the power ability. I spent roughly $800 on dyne time and a program to get the power I wanted out of the Zex kit. the money on dyno time and a flasher with a program is about the norm but it can easily go up to $1200-1500. The NOS was my first kit, it was a fogger kit. it was my first kit and my brother installed for me. it was a blast, it was like the first hit of drugs. I got a different car than moved to the NX wet kit. I did cheap out and got the $500 kit from NX so it was bare bones. although I did love it I got rid of it to go with a turbo kit. the turbo kit funds got put on hold so I got the Zex Kit. my Zex kit was $700 with bottle heater and an assortment of jets.

You were actually the reason I started looking into it, I figured if you were running it in essentially your daily driver theres gotta be a way to do it safely. (this is before I started learning anything about NOS)

I gotta look at holley too, I didn't know they made NOS kits.

The Lex keeps giving me ideas, I was going to do kickpods like yours too but fitment is a little rough in my car. Switching up positioning of the ebrake really got me thinking about fitment which I usually overlook until I install it and then crack a beer and realize I just screwed myself.
