Default Nitrous and Boost

Right now I'm running 15psi on a b18c1 with srp 9:5:1 .20 over, eagles, and a blockguard. Its also tuned with hondata. Would it be safer to turn the boost up 3-4 psi with racegas or run a NX 35 wet kit? I'm kinda leaning toward teh wet kit since it will also be cooling down the intake charge and help with the tq that I'm missing? Which one do you feel is safer or am I pushing it right now with 15psi on 93 octane?

I think I would try lowering the PSI first, then trying the 35 shot (wet only) can't use a dry shot with a turbo anyway. The shot of nitrous will help spool up times with the turbo too. Find a safe level of boost with the combination of the 35 shot, you can never be to careful, don't wanna make something go boom.

Are you running a sleeved block or blockguard? What nitrous kit are you using? Do you have a dyno or track time with and without nitrous.

I was spraying a 120 shot on top of 15 psi and it felt great....and then i had the most terrific backfire i have ever seen. Just throw some C-16 in the tank and go racing

I don't think he will have any spool up problems when at a track. i'd say just use some racing gas and up the boost.

Would upping the boost to say 17-18psi on my stock sleeved block be any easier on my motor than running 14-15psi with a 35shot? Wouldn't the cooling effect from the nitrous help with detination.
