Depending on how your nitrous is tuned, that may cause enough of a lean condition to cause damage. Say if bottle pressure went from 900 to 1200 psi due to a hot day in the sun. Well that would be about 33% more nitrous injected. So that 75 shot that you thought you were running now has turned into a 100 shot. Bad day if you’re only injecting enough fuel for 75 hp worth of nitrous.

All NX systems make within 2% of their claimed horsepower, if you jet the system for 50 horsepower then you can expect no less than 49 horsepower, but usually a few more than the rated amount.

My car makes around 370rwhp or so right now. And yes it has already been tuned. I think I will talk to my tuner to see what they think about a 100 shot

i didnt know what it was pushing out but you should be almost 465+ horsepower with that shot... if its a wet shot ya it wull supply its own fuel but that has nothing to do with the horsepower rating and you still dont get your 100% cause you aint no tuner sorry to bust you bubble.........

This is about as close to a spot on guess as I've seen in this post. The problem being that SC/NO2 cars are much more dependent on fuel than a NA car is. If there's a car out there that's running 30's and it's 460-470+, you're on the ragged edge. Of course, there are many more factors out there such as cam profile, compression ratio, cylinder head volume, etc..

Edit: To those of you stating that an injector of a certain size is too much...that's what a tune is for. You adjust certain parameters and it will compensate for this. Go Google it. [Wink]

I personally went 12.20 at 114 in my very own 3423 pound car with 19 pound injectors and a WET nitrous kit.

Did that for years and even drove it to Alabama, raced it, then drove back.

Do the math or google it.

Thats approx 380 at the flywheel, with 19lbers.

Wet kit is just that WET. It supplies its own fuel.

If the motor is tuned and running correct A/F, naturally aspirated then it is a no brainer that you dont need anymore injector with a wet kit.

Now a dry kit, that is argueable because you get fuel pressure spikes and duty cycle etc etc becomes an issue.

never said he doesnt and i know who he is as well as he know me........ but he's not the tuner at nextgen he just works there so if he was a tuner then that would be a diffrent story every car is diffrent and some make more power and some less but if you are trying to tune those 30's with that horsepower on a 100 shot and expect it to be safe if you even lean out for a half second that thing is gonna dynamite [Eek!] there goes that money you just put in it just for not spending and extra couple 100 .......................HOW I SEE IT IN HIGH PERFORMANCE I'D RATHER BE SAFE THAN SORRY UNLESS I WAS A BIG BALLER AND DIDNT CARE IF I WAS GONNA BLOW IT UP........

so to sum all this up.... we are telling this guy that already has a tune to switch injectors and retune just because he is going to run a 100 shot. also to tune his car a little "RICH" just in case the car leans out on nitrous.

my opinion is tune his NITROUS JET a little rich if he is concerned about going lean on N20. this way his car would not run rich all the time because he will not be using nitrous all the time. i find it funny how simple this solution is yet people try to make something like this difficult.

Ask your tuner how much more power YOUR setup could go before needing bigger injectors. He must have been watching your injector duty cycle when he tuned it. How much more can you go? This only goes for more NA power.

As stated above, tune it right for NA and then get the fuel jet with the wet nitrous kit set up right.

I had well over 400rwhp with 30lb injectors on my blown 347. The MAF was railed but the tune had the dutycycle pegged at only 80%. It started to lean out a little up top. It would have been really lean if I didn't have my 8:1 FMU on it bumping the fuel pressure up over 80psi. LOL!!

I got the Tweecer and was able to flatten the AFR up top by allowing the injectors to go to 90% dutycycle, but 10 minutes later I pulled the MAF and sent it in to get caled for 60's so it wouldn't peg and I installed my 60lb injectors. Now it has a flat AFR under 12:1 with even more boost and No FMU. It just made 532rwhp on the dyno and the injector dutycycle was only 72%. It idles great and just passed SMOG beautifully. Well, it did have a different H pipe on the dyno than it did during the SMOG check.

72% is pretty reasonable i had a car at our shop that had a 255 intank(FI) aero fuel rails 42's and a BA4200 on a blown 347 with 10lbs of boost on a 100 octane he made 557 and 578 and had to shoot up to 60's cause the fuel went lean at high reves(5100) and this car even had a BAP on it....... the tuner even tried to widen the pulse width but nothing worked so he went larger now he safe and can add more boost [Big Grin]

Every car is different. Try the 30's, if you can't get enough fuel because the pulse width is maxed out, switch to 42's. There will always be someone looking to step up to your old 30's if you really need the 42's.

You can run rich a lot of times, but you only can run lean once.


Arguing on the internet is like winning the Special Olympics. Even if you win you are still retarded.
