Hi guys, I'm thinking of adding a nitrous setup to help me pull better in 2nd and 3rd gears. For you guys running Maggies, what would you recommend and what has worked for you? What are the pros and cons to doing this? I'm thinking maybe a 50 or 75 dry single jet. Thanks for any input.

 

I sprayed a 50 dry shot in my 04 SSS with a 2.8 pulley ...I tapped the rear of the j tube with a fogger nozzle...I was running a Walbro 255 with siemens deka 60lb injectors and tuned for it...I used a window switch from 3000-6000..and had zero motor issues(tranny was a different story..lol). I went from a 7.89 @ 88mph to a 7.76 @ 92 mph fwiw....

 

Interesting. How does a window switch work and how do you set it up?

 

I've thought about this as well. I want to run a small shot but did'nt know if and how much the tune would have to do with it. I see where alot of N/A guys run a pretty good size shot on just the factory tune.

If the tune was setup for nitrous would that mean u would have to run nitrous everytime u went into boost or just spray it when u wanted to?

A nitrous tune would just be a conservitive tune with less timing in it. So you wouldent have to spray everytime u going in to boost.

 

You could also set your tow haul button to be your nitrious tune.

 

I believe tow/haul only controls transmission settings, so you wouldn't be able to adjust A/F.

 

Thanx for clearing that up for! Is it true that a 50 shot on F/I is like a 75 shot N/A. I thought I read a thread a while back where F/I multiplies the shot. Could have been something else I was thinking of though.

What I'm trying to say is F/I can run a smaller shot with greater H/P increase than N/A would get from a bigger shot?

 

Right. You can't change the A/F. Don't know what I was thinking.

 

This is what I've been reading. If NO2 is not your primary power adder then a smaller shot is probably in order. If you're running boost, it acts as a multiplier for the NO2 shot. On the downside, I've read that nitrous can erode the coating of the blower impellers. That being said, it sounds like a pretty awesome combo for the occasional user.

I'd sure like to hear from some guys who are running both... especially whether they think it's worth doing or not.
