That is the Question :confused:

Man lately I have just gotten so tied up in messing around with this car! LOL once you get started how in the hell do you stop?! :lol:

Now the serous thought of going with NOS is on the table and I need some recommendations on whats a safe kit and what a safe installation might look like?

Please post your replys and if you have some photos from the install please post 'em up as well.

:cheers:

Most of the kits installed that I've heard about are usually a 100 dry shot or 150, 200 wet shots. I know of one guy that was going to use a 100 dry followed by a 150 wet BUT I haven't heard anything more from him! :lol: Who knows???

My recommendation would be to talk to your tuner and go with a kit made for your car and that he might be familiar with. Keep us posted on what you decide...

Maybe I just don't understand the whole NOS thing, why run a 100 shot dry and then a 150 wet? Aren't they the same? NOS is NOS right? Or is there a difference?

I don't really know other then an intial burst of power followed by a more manageable NOS hit. Here's a good read;

WET’ VS. ‘DRY’ NITROUS SYSTEMS

The debate between the so-called ‘Wet’ and ‘Dry’ nitrous systems has been active for almost two decades. At NitrousWorks we prefer the ‘Wet’ principal, which simply means that both fuel and nitrous oxide are injected together at the spray bar or nozzle. A ‘Dry’ system injects nitrous oxide alone without and additional fuel for the engine. We believe that a properly engineered ‘Wet’ system is a safer way to inject nitrous oxide into an engine.

The objective of nitrous oxide is to make more horsepower, which is achieved in two ways. Firstly, nitrous oxide comprises one-part oxygen and two-parts nitrogen. This is a much higher percentage of oxygen than that found in the atmosphere and, because of this, the additional oxygen being forced into the combustion chamber provides more potential power. Nonetheless, the additional power cannot be realized safely without enrichening the amount of fuel in the combustion chamber. The second way nitrous oxide will increase an engine's horsepower is by cooling the air charge from the atmosphere.

One of the most important aspects of keeping an engine healthy when using nitrous oxide is to ensure it operates at the proper air/fuel ratio. Running too lean can cause detonation, resulting in damaged engine parts. Running too rich can also harm performance and destroy engine parts, too. At NitrousWorks we flow-test our systems to calibrate them. Once calibrated, they'll inject the proper amount of fuel with the nitrous system to maintain the correct air/fuel ratio. We also ensure the amount of nitrous that the system is engineered to dispense does not exceed that which the intake system can flow. This prevents fuel ‘puddling’ or distribution problems.

A further advantage of a ‘Wet’ system is that it lends itself to fine-tuning. By adjusting the fuel pressure and fuel orifice, either up or down from the baseline, the system's performance can be further improved. In addition, on a direct-port nitrous system each cylinder can be fine tuned to optimize performance and overcome rich or lean cylinders that the engine may have naturally aspirated.

A ‘Dry’ nitrous system relies on the vehicle's computer system sensing that the engine is, say, running too lean and adding additional fuel. Most stock computer systems were not designed for this purpose,

and may have difficulty in The internal-combustion engine is basically a large air pump and its ability to pump air is one of the factors, which determine how much power it can produce. Air contains oxygen and by drawing more oxygen into the combustion chamber, more power will be produced. In order to achieve efficient combustion, the air needs to be mixed with fuel in the correct ratio. The stoichiometric (chemically correct) ratio is for basic gasoline is 14.7 parts air to 1 part of fuel.

Greater quantities of oxygen can be drawn into the combustion chamber by simply introducing nitrous oxide. By weight, Nitrous contains 36% oxygen while air has only 23%. A charge of nitrous oxide is capable of burning much more fuel than the equivalent amount of air.

Because nitrous is more oxygen-rich than air, the recommended air fuel ratio becomes 9.5 parts of nitrous to 1 part of fuel (9.5:1). That means when oxygen-rich nitrous is introduced additional fuel must also be supplied in order to maintain the optimum ratioWithout the additional fuel the mixture would become dangerously lean - circumstances that will almost always lead to severe and expensive damage.

Tstar - that was one hell of a post you made! Great information


As far as the original question... go for it! NOS the hell out of it! :smack:

Well that just answered any question I had on NOS :cheers:

Not to spray.Even with a good tune stuff goes wrong.Sorry you have to copy and paste..

Hey did Carlton get his site back up?

Yeh there are so many different types, companies that are making these kits. Just researching is a learning experience.

His site should be up and running. Was on it today.

We have many different options for the corvettes.

Here is a link to our customer section there are alot of cars there to look over to get an idea of what the install would look like.

I would suggest our "Total Package" for you as it will come with the base kit, and all the safety and performance enhancing accessories.

We have both 78mm and 90mm kits for the same price.

Please let me know if you have any questions,

Holley wet kit for the lS1. Comes with a throttle body mixing plate. Very nice kit. Get an RPM window switch for safer operation. Isay do it,justdon't over do it:)

Hell, I'm a speed freak I say go for it! :burnout: :party:

More power to impress the lady's! :)
