Am getting ready to do a setup and had a few questions. I am wanting to run between a 100-150 shot. My car is 100% stock, down to the paper filters.
At this level, will stock timing be ok, or is that pushing it? If it seems too much, i was considering a seperate fuel system that ran xyelene or something similar. I have autotap, but haven't spent much time with it, does this have a readout to tell me if the knock sensors are picking anything up?
Also, where do you guys have your nozzle? Where did you tap in for fuel. DerekFSU, you say you run a "modified 60 shot" i think, how is it modified?
Thanks for the help,
-Mike

Only input I have is that Kleemann told me the stock ECU runs super rich so I think you are actually in better shape with stock ECU than modded which leans it out....
DWTBOSS scared the crap outta me this weekend as he is now having trouble with his baby on the bottle.....could be a million other things though..ESP etc.
Best of luck....keep us updated.

I realize that i'm not talking about a small shot, since it'll actually be much more on the supercharged motor, and that there aren't alot of other people doing it, and mistakes are VERY expensive. With that said, i'm still ready to try it.
On my old camaro i realized i was a little nitrous happy when i was spraying on the way to work. For this car its going to be for the track, occasional highway race, and for wow factor.
I thought that it might be a little much for stock timing, that's why i was considering the 117 octane. We'll see what everyone else has to say.

I am wondering where folks are installing the nozzles.

Yes, an '05. That was one of my questions, i also wondered where people were tapping in the ignition for the window switch.

If i were going to put it in the tank i'd use xylene (home depot paint thinner). Its 117 octane and lead free. I may use the same if i go with a stand alone fuel system.

You'd think so, but it's been my experience that this isn't the case. The limited volume of leaded fuel adding additional enrichment for the nitrous hasn't ever caused a problem on the numerous vehicles I've installed nitrous with stand-alone fuel systems on.

I saw an article somewhere where the writers tested a pair of O2 sensors that were "allegedly" lead-safe. I forget their exact process, but i think it included driving the car on leaded fuels with before and after dynos, comparing power and readings of the car's O2s to a wideband on the dyno . . .
Point being, the sensors stood up very well to leaded fuel . . . now if I can just dig up the article I can find out what sensors they tested.
