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. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>98StangPower</b> <br /><small>Member # 518</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,5,12,1,11,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Originally posted by 88DroptopGT:<br /><strong> No gas-brake dip? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="confused.gif" /> j/p<br /><br />No pedaling makes sense, sounds like a mean backfire if one did it with a big enough shot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="eek.gif" /> </strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">i was using 150 shot, and pulled a rookie mistake!

Maybe on a DOHC cobra which uses a knock sensor, or in a GM application with the same--- otherwise pull roughly 1-2 degrees per 50 HP.<br /><br /><br />haven't seen anyone mention fuel till now. Bigger fuel pump won't hurt. Running lean at max rpms doesn't make for happy piston surfaces and headgasket retention.<br /><br />edit: maybe you're not talking about the 'NX' kit, but rather the 'ZEX' kit, the ZEX does have some sort of timing control built in.<br /> <br /> <small>[ June 15, 2004, 04:34 PM: Message edited by: JoeT ]</small> <br /> </font> </td></tr> </table></td></tr></table> <br /> <br />
