a few nitrous beginner questions

[gtsr515]

For starters if your going to use ANY nitrous kit, upgrade your fuel pump first to at least a 155 lph. I also highly recommend an adjustable fuel pressure regulator, this will aid you in tuning the car while on the spray. Don't want to start any flames here but you DO NOT want to use hotter plugs, the general rule is 1 step colder for every 100 horsepower of nitrous, I have used Motorcraft ASF32C's with a 150 horse dry kit for 11 years now without 1 fouling. That may work for a 400 cubic inch, Yates heads ($$$$$$$) with giant carburator type engines, but NOT the way to go with SEFI. Like I said no flames intended, but this is fact in the SEFI world. Don't ya just love those high RPM carburated motors though, they sound so good going down the track.

Put your timing at 10 degrees with the SPOUT connector out, and leave it there. reconnect the SPOUT connector.

I definetly recommend a nitrous gauge and bottle blanket, that way you can see at a glance if you have enough pressure in the bottle to use it, and the blanket will keep it at a consistant temperature and pressure, this is critical in proper performance while on the spray. this is especially true in colder climates, but I use one here in central florida too.

Your thoughts on starting with the smallest shot is spot on, and unless you have traction devices and sticky tires, you probably won't be able to use much more on the street, at least at a stoplight that is. There are other devices, such as progressive nitrous controllers, and the Jacobs Mastermind, but that is down the road stuff for now.

Good luck and happy motoring!!!!
