Yes... don't go off of other people's ignorance.. you educate YOURSELF.... and read the applicable " rules " and you'll be fine.. I have been pushing a dry 85 shot for alomost a year now... over 100K on the motor .. no issues... just don't be a fool and you'll be good to go. Enjoy it !! and Welcome to the darkside!!

I got the same lines and warnings. After I ran last season they all quit talking. Just check your plugs and keep an eye on your fuel pressure and nitrous pressure. Compression tests don't hurt either.

i have 2 gauges as of now, nitrous pressure and exhaust temp.. these are very usefull correct ?

axion68 · 04-04-2003, 11:06 AM

Yes, you want your bottle pressure to be around 1000 psi. I'm not sure what your exhaust temp should be (I have an a/f guage), but I bet someone could give you a safe temp you should be running at.

what kind and brand kit are you running. There are several of us that are running Wet 75 shots from NX, which is probably almost 90 hp to the flywheel or more, with no problems. I have been doing that with stock igntion and timing on 2 step colder plugs.

CTPRELUDE · 04-04-2003, 11:38 AM

jnkoh, you are runnin stock timing and ignition with no problems on a 75 wet shot?

laughin2.2 · 04-04-2003, 02:28 PM

He's running some cold ass plugs though.

1flossedlude · 04-04-2003, 06:46 PM

hrm.. i got the NOS kit.

jnkoh · 04-04-2003, 08:30 PM

Yeah, I'm using the Zex plugs, 2 steps colder.
Well, if it's a NOS wet kit you should be fine.

1flossedlude · 04-05-2003, 09:56 AM

i got the dry kit.

red98lude · 04-05-2003, 10:24 AM

still not a problem, just check you plugs often.

ZMonkey11 · 04-05-2003, 11:36 AM

have ran a 50 shot on stock plugs and timing, then went 1 step colder plugs for my 75 shot. Everything is running fine. I have ran 4 times at the track, and a few tiems on the street with the 75 shot, no problems yet. I have seen white spots on my plugs though, so I will be getting colder plugs soon.

that or flip the arm switch at WOT in 2nd. You can spray in first, however traction is bad especially down low.

spraying in first is fine, the only reason people tend to do it late or not at all in first is traction issues.
