DO NOT PEDAL THE GAS!!! Either stay WOT or not!! NO NO PEDALING, speaking from expeirence.

No gas-brake dip? j/p

No pedaling makes sense, sounds like a mean backfire if one did it with a big enough shot.

Matt, If I recall the kit your getting has an RPM switch which engauges the NOS. The biggest thing for you is to make sure you are WOT when the NOS is on or activated. If you activate it and hit the RPM in which the switch is set too but are only partial throttle you can run into issues. This is the main reason why I like throttle switches which only engauge the system when the butterfly is wide open. Another big thing like I mentioned to ya is to check your air fuel on the dyno for the first NOS run to insure your motor will be happy air fuel wise with the nos. This will basically check your jets on the NOS side and fuel side of the wet system to insure you get the required amounts of each.

- Step colder plug
- Couple degrees retard on timing
- Suggest a pressure gauge for N20 pressure
- I too like the RPM & full throttle switch combo...maybe even a fuel pressure safety switch
- Purge valve always helps
- Remember to check the plugs as often as feasable as they will tell you the story of what's going on in the combustion chamber
- As free flowing of an exhaust as possible
- Probably a few more......but can't think of them right now

i appreciate your input...
to retard the timing would you guys suggest a steeda timing adjuster for a 4.6?

Figured that would be a given w/ forced induction especially here in Cali.

Sic98gt: You're very welcome!
