Got GM Stage 3, Nitrous or Methanol?
Just ordered my GM stage 3 from Crate Engine Depot (BTW, Thanks for the awsome deal Tom!!
) so now my question is:
Should I go with the recommended dry 50 shot of Nitrous?
OR
Should I go with Methanol?
I already purchased my methanol injection kit from coolingmist.com. Looks real simple to install.
Should I keep it? or sell it and buy a Nitrous kit? I personally wanted to go with methanol... but what do you guys think?

DO NOT USE A METHANOL KIT WITH THE GM STAGE 3 KIT!!
DO NOT USE A WET SHOT WITH THE GM STAGE 3 KIT!!!!!!!!
The kit is designed for a DRY 50 shot ONLY!
Especially for a 50 shot...there is NO reason to use a wet kit. Specially, when the PCM and tune is designed for a dry shot...save yourself 200 bucks or send it to me if you just want to throw it away.
BOTTOM LINE: If you are not going to use the kit the way it was designed, you should just get a tune and spray a wet kit or use your methanol.
This is how guys blow **** up on here and the wonder...What happened? Why?
FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS FTMFW!!!!

I see no point installing something as expensive as S3 without using the nitrous function.

FNFAST, I already found out it doesn't work with the S3. I'm selling the kit right now, I already bought my 50 Dry Shot. Im going all GM except the header and downpipe. After all, they designed and built the car, they know whats best for it.

I hope you know I wasn't ripping into you at all, I was just stating my opinion

FNFAST when are going to post some photos of the setup from your own photos and run that thing at the track?
I have photos...whats your email address?
I slapped a 12.05 @ 115. But I got a lucky 60'. I should be right about 12.15 @ 118.

Update: So far so good!!! I must say, that 50 dhot kicks in nice and HARD!!! I'm going to run with my brothers 350HP SLP Z28 6Speed and see what happens now. He burned me by 3 car lenghts, lets see if that 50 shot can fill in that gap!!
Please, post some pics of the nitrous setup. I will be installing on friday stage 2 with stg3 pulley (2.99") , GMPP exhaust, honed exhaust manifold and dual-pass endplate. After this I will be doing stg3 PCM and nitrous dry shot. Include photos of were you will spray.

Will GM install the 50 shot of nitrous at the same time they put in a Stage 3? I have the Stage 2 right now. Also hate to sound like a nube and I know the PCM controls the spray, but what exactly does that mean?

What Nitrous kit does this work with?
The Stage 3 kit will work with any brand 50-shot Nitrous kit. It was designed around a dry system

You could hook up a 100 shot if you wanted to. Just FYI.
