ok im thinking about a 100 shot of nitrous and i was wondering if i would need a tune if i would get a 100 shot? does anyone no? and is it pretty safe with the ls1? i heard from lots of ppl its ok well just making sure.

thanks

Yes if it's a 100 shot wet kit go all at it. Just don't put 87 in it and let the bottle pressure go sky high and leaning it out. I have done MANY LS cars with agressive tune for ALL motor and ran a 100 shot with good gas for years.
You get what you pay for.
Buy quality and keep it for years of fun!

Hello,
I am a new guy but I just had all this stuff done and yes it is safe as long as you have a good tune. I had Vector motor sports do mine and use the juice all the time. I have been told as long as it is installed and tuned with plenty of fuel so you don't lean it out it will be fine.

I am thinking of installing nitrous kit myself, i never installed one before but i am mechanically inclined. Can someone w/o experience of installing nitrous kit before install one ? What brand is a good quality ?

Get a tune...and lower your spark plugs a heat range....you'll be fine....

Can u tell me what brand spark plug & where i can buy one? I saw a iridum spark plug on e bay. Would that do?

I would recommend a NX plug and play MAF kit for you. Yes you can install it yourself. They stand behind there product like no other and there R&D is outstanding.

I would stay away from the iridium plugs with the bottle. I would recommend running a race style plug that is made for the extreme cyl. pressure conditions.
Run a AutoLite AR94. You should be able to get them at a Napa or CarQwest for right around $3-3.50 each. Stay away from Summit or Jegs they rape you at 4.99 each.
I would also not run the gap at anymore than .038.

Thanks for the link & spark plug info.

**Sarge** · 09-09-2007, 03:27 PM

AutoLite's are good....I like the NGK TR6's for nitrous GTO's....gapped at .40..
either one will do you well....

I run TR6X's @ .35 with a Magnuson Blower and Nitrous and an MTI tune here in Houston; doing fine!

**jinouk67** · 09-11-2007, 05:17 PM

How much is the tr6x's ? Where can I buy one ?

**ATCharming** · 09-11-2007, 05:19 PM

whats the best octane to run with nitrous? same as u run without nitrous? or would it be better to go up or down in octane

It all depends on your compression ratio and how much bottle.
Sunco makes a fuel called Max Nos that is designed specifically for HIGH pressures that is a 118 octane and it's VERY heavy so it helps cool.

You can buy the TR6X's (they likely will have to order from one of their warehouse locations as the X means Iridium - about $3.99 - $4.99 each) at any Auto Zone or O'Reilly Parts Store, or, you can quite often buy directly from the nitrous dealer (Nitrous Outlet or Nitrous Express on-line as example) as they are a highly recommended plug for nitrous application. Mind you, I have a blower so I have to run colder plugs anyway and the Iridium helps me too with extreme heat and pressure. You do not have to go Iridium however and the standard TR6's should suffice for you.

I have a Nitrous Outlet throttle plate system (the plate was specially machined to fit my Maggie blower intake while not forcing me to change hoods - but, I did ever-so-teensy-weensy rub the fuel inlet fitting with the hood brace on the driver side - which we've since machined away)

To the other question, I always run with 93 octane (available in TX) and on occasion throw in a booster from the parts store.

Advanced Auto Parts carrys the NGK Tr6 I run them all the time they are around $2.each and carry a 2yr warrantee.

buy a wet kit from nitrous outlet & get it tuned. cheaper than buying a new motor

**JAX04** · 05-18-2010, 03:47 PM

i ran a nitrous express 100 shot wet kit with ngk tr7 gapped at .035 with absolutley no problems at all. always used 93 or 94 octane in the tank. 04 auto car, zero problems at all. i never had any gauges in the car at that point so i couldnt tell you what my afr was or what jet it was. but i did runs and shut her down instantly and checked the plugs. never any issues. hope this helps.
