Any of you nitrous users start at near a 75 or 80 shot instead of starting at a 50? What were your first impressions?

Thanks,

I started at 100

Just make sure your kit is installed right. 90% of NOS horror stories were cuased by user error IMO

i agree!

by user error do you mean the installation was incorrect? Or do you mean nobody tunes their car w/ nitrous? Or both.


Could you please elaborate?

Depending on your mods, you probably won't really "feel" a 50 shot. It'll rev quicker, but moving up to a 75-90 shot will give you a definite kick in the pants.

But seeing as you have an ITR, I would advise against higher amounts of nitrous til your bottom end is built. You'll need to retard timing and run 93+ octane. Also run one step colder plugs, with a slightly smaller gap. High compression + NOS can produce a good amount of HP...but on the otherhand, tuning needs to be more critical to prevent detonation.

i started with 85 shot on my r. . .. make sure you tune it . . .dp will be better off than i am , i got a dry kit and changin to wet kit this weekend . but make sure you tune it on the dyno. im at a 60 shot dry right now, and its still exciting . but my car is already mid 13's without the bottle , so its very sick with the bottle on

I heard it wasn't neccesary to dyno tune... isn't that just to get some more power out of the setup... dont the factory specs work fine, but there is a little more power to be found through dyno tuning?
