What did you Dyno with your kit on the 2.4? Seem as fast as an SS/SC?

by theory it should be just as fast as a sc, if not faster (due to weight issues such as the heavy 18'' wheels the sc has)

Yes I removed my K&N intake to make the MAF sensor happy with HPtuners.

It wont damage the blower, the blower used in the balt doesnt use a teflon coating as originally thought, it uses epoxy instead, so its nitrous safe

I ran it today and of course it runs stronger.

There is a couple people running a dry shot with bigger injectors, I think your limited to about a 50 shot dry before you pressing your luck.

I don't have any misconceptions that Nitrous is worry free and I realize that it is going to put more stress on the engine and it's components, but I don't believe that the blower is going to fail signifigantly faster because of a wet shot.

If it does oh well, I will have learned my lesson the hard way.

Do you have some pictures of a better way or even a description?
well I would suggest mounting the unit right in front of the blower in the grill/headlight area BUT I forgot on the Cobalts the engine space is super tight in the front because of the blower so nevermind. could always mount it on the firewall I guess...

im sure you could run a dry thru it but a very small one...and i wouldnt press my luck. as with most apps on a more or less stock car, a wet shot will be able to run a higher shot (not by much but noticeable) and will no doubt mix better (correct me if im wrong...). but I always say make sure you have a fuel pressure safety switch, and a window switch at LEAST. Good luck woody, if you need any help...you know where i work
