Hey guys, im very new the N2O thing i used to be completely against it i was one of the guys who thought if you cant do it on motor you dont need to do it but i keep hearin guys talk about it and i now work with a guy who claims to be very knowledgeable in that area and so far i have no reason to doubt it but i was talkin to him today about runnin a shot on my balt...first off i am runnin a stock pulley, airbox mod, deleted cat, ported blower, and i am tuned, so i am curious if it is indeed safe for me to run a 75 shot as long as i use a window switch and such or if its just a dumb idea as i may not have enough supporting mods to make it work or take full advantage of it?

Please remember i am a noob when it comes to N2O so try to keep the flaming to a minimum

Thanks
Mike

 

theres people who run 75 shot with out messing up the car actually and this is people with minor mods nothing major.

 

so i should be safe running this shot on mine as long as i spend the money and set it up right?

 

If you are on the stock tune you should be fine. Stage tune is too aggressive in the timing department for a bigger shot than 50.

Should get custom tuned anyway for a 75 shot.

 

I am tuned, i cant remember what we set the timing at but we didnt adjust it more than 2* and my AFR's are at like 11.3-11.5 so i guess what im really lookin for is what shot would be a safe bet for me i dont really wanna do anything detrimental to my engine so i am trying to get as much info/as many opinions from people who know what they are talkin about or have experience in this department...thus i turned to the boys on I appreciate the knowledge you guys provide me

 

bump

 

if you're looking for "safe", a 50 shot would be more than fine.

i'm assuming you're going to do more mods so i would probably add more boost and back off a lil on the spray.

 

Hey mike, hook me up with NOS too. ive really been thinking about it lately too and ive been tellin rach i'd love to get it just to see peoples faces haha

 

i run a 45wet shot. airbox mod, 2.8, gm stage 2 tune, cx h/e. 1step colder plugs. got over 300whp on the dyno and ran 12.4 at the track. it is fun and you should like it

 

make sure its a wet shot.

im a 2.2 and i run a 75 shot with only intake and exhaust and a ported header.

 

Oh absolutely, i had all intentions on runnin a wet shot, i will be going with the Nitrous Express kit, bottle warmer, window switch..either 50 or 75 shot

I appreciate all of you guys help and advise and anymore advise or examples of some setups are more than welcome pics would be helpful.

Thank you my cobalt brothers

 

A header is always recomanded on a nitrous car.

 

outta pure ignorance on my side, why is that?

 

a header? its the tubes at the back of your engine that collect the exhaust and dispell it through one central tube - the downpipe.

 

lol i know what a header is man. y is it vital to run w/ nitrous lol

 

o, my mistake...reading destroyed me there.

and a header is recommended to help with the excess flow and heat taht are by-products of using the juice...

especially since the stock header/downpipe is so flimsy with its flex-pipe

i had my crack there too (at the flexpipe) and start to leak when i first started using the sauce.

 

It becomes a huge choke point when pushing that much more air through your car. A header and intake are going to let you run stronger and more reliably with the nitrous.

 

very good information guys and i thank you
Still lookin for some more info and maybe some pics before i solidify my spot in the N2O brotherhood
