Nitrous as 105k miles? Posted By: Formula93_350 On: 05-07-2008 @ 12:54:03 Reply | Edit I'm thinking about nitrous for my 93 Firebird Formula. Engine is in great shape, runs like a champ. Keeps dead even with my buddies rebuilt lt1. I'm a little worried though, I saw that NOS offers an LT1 specific kit that pushes 150 HP and couldn't help but think "Wow, I don't think that's safe" hahaha. I looked on summit racing and found many different kits, the onee i'd feel safest with is the Edelbrock 80 shot dry kit. I know I'm definately doing a dry shot. I just don't know how much to do. The motor is very strong as is the trans. What would you guys think? 80 too low? Should I go with 150? I'm really worried about motor damage. -- 93 Firebird Formula LT1, K&N FIPK, Accel Fuel Injectors, Flow Master Exhaust, Stage 1 JetChip, M/T Street Drag Radials, Faze A/F Gauge Posted By: 1993LT1 On: 05-07-2008 @ 13:45:20 Reply | Top | Edit I would personally recomend a wet kit. With the wet set up you don't have to worry as much about detonation because you are jetting extra fuel. I think a dry 80 would be fine so long as your injectors are a little higher than stock and you don't have any problems with your fuel pump. A 150 dry set up is scary to me, but I am kind of a pussy, lol.

Edit: BTW take the jet chip out if you plan on spraying. --  [ Edited on 05/07/2008 @ 17:37:12 ] Posted By: Formula93_350 On: 05-07-2008 @ 19:21:36 Reply | Top | Edit yea ill pull the chip for sure. how do you advance timing? is there a way to make it so that it only advances when im spraying? also, i read that you have to crank the fuel pressure up, does that mean ill constantly be running rich or is there a way to adjust it for when im spraying only? -- 93 Firebird Formula LT1, K&N FIPK, Accel Fuel Injectors, Flow Master Exhaust, Stage 1 JetChip, M/T Street Drag Radials, Faze A/F Gauge Posted By: Fury_786 On: 05-07-2008 @ 20:05:03 Reply | Top | Edit DO NOT spray dry take the Jet and throw it in the garbage. you can spray 150 wet very safely --
