Who's running nitrous?

I'm guessing 2-3 trips to the dyno. So is a 75 shot safe for a stock bottom end? Safe as in how long will it last if I go about retarding the ignition. What else should I look at upgrading?

Was 157hp on the bottle? if so then your fine, if not then reffer to the below lines.

I spoke to my automatic nitrous friend who is a nitrous genious. He said start with a 50 shot and see how the tranny likes it. Have it on a button and spray after 3000 rpms and dont wory about lifting between gears. If the tranny starts to slip in third gear back off the shot to the lower shot. If all feels good up it.

The car shifts fine with a 50 shot. I just had my tranny fluid changed and I'm adding a tranny cooler. Actually, the worst thing was hitting it from a stoplight cause I couldn't hook up for shit. For a 75 shot would I retard 2 degrees or 3? I already upgrade injector, fuel rail, and regulator-plus my cars running rich still. With a 75 shot should I invest in a new fuel pump and ignition?

you dont have to upgrade your fuel pump and ignition but it never hurts and it really is the right way to do it. The very first thing I changed in preparing to spray my car was the fuel pump. Ill gat back to you on the timing. Im lucky cause my Hondata pulls the timing out whenever I press the button.

Thanks. This is just the civil cerimony-our real wedding date is next month. What sucks is I haven't had any time to work on my car at all. I still have half a bottle left-no time to use it.

It was just a small civil ceremony. The big wedding isn't for another month. If I had my choice, it would be over already.

So for my next big investment... a cold fusion direct port nitrous kit, yup you know your jealolus...ha ha ha

I cant wait. I just got my new intake mani to bolt it all up to so im just waiting for a buddy of mine to pay up on a head I sold him and im ordering it. Once I have it ill be runing two stages of nitrous equalling a 150 shot. Can you say fast. I love nitrous sooooo freakin much.

Im also ordering a two step from MSD to make launching alot easier.
