NOS? lol

I'd go for a wet kit, you should expect however much you jet it for. NOS rates at the flywheel though.

Agreed.. I would go with either the Zex wet kit or something bigger like a NX direct port kit..

 

and how much HP would be safe to add?? 35 shot? 50?

 

a wet kit with a 50 Shot should be ok, as long as your aF is tuned

 

With that lower end you are swinging, i'd feel comfortable with a 125hp tune without a problem. Its amazing how much power you can make with a properly installed system and a good tune.

For the money, invest in a nice direct port system. It really isn't that much more than a single nozzle or dry system and its money well spent on a safe, well designed system that gives you some room to grow.

 

Go for a 70-100 shot, just tune it right. Also, there are some nice progressive controllers on the market that really make the big shots streetable and take the initial jolt out of them.

my .02

 

or just keep the initial jolt and add more up top. . .

that motor can deff. take a beating, you just need to up the size of those injectors...by ALOT . . .

 

370cc injectors arent enough for adding 50hp??

Since when do you need injectors for a wet kit? He can change jetting to get the right A/F ratio and if he wants use somethng like Hondata or Neptune to trim fuel and pull timing. With the built bottom end you can pretty much spray to your heart's content. I'd definately go dual stage direct port 50 + 100 shot. Progressive controllers are expensive as ****. If you spray a 50 shot, you'rea *****.

 

LOL, amen. a 50 shot isn't even impressive as a purge. Aside from the cost....Progerssive controllers have a number of inherent problems associated with them, primarily in the fact that nitrous solenoids are on/off devices, not metering devices. Its kinda like trying to "pulse" your garden hose by turning the valve on and off really fast... it just doesn't work right.

"pulse width modulation"

but aren't fuel injectors kinda the same?

EDIT: nm, wasn't thinking..

 

Don't inhale your purge. ;-)

A truly progressive nitrous system is going to be the next big breakthrough in the nitrous world IMO but its a long ways off. For the time being, i'll stick with multiple stages. Besides, its kinda fun feeling a kick in the *** every time the next stage hits...
