11.5 is fine. Shoot for the same afr using nitrous as you would without.
I would go with a wet shot. Most solenoids will support 150 shot if you want to turn it up more. And, you will.
Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
even if you are running E85?

I don't have my wideband changed to e85 because regular gas is easier for me to understand but it all comes out the same

Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
Hey question why does it seems everyone else run like 12-12.5 afr boosted or n/a but everything I have read is mid 11s afr unless your turbo and then low 12s afr?

Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
I don't know where you found that. But most cars na will run mid to upper 12's. Boosted will be somewhere in the 11's.
You can lean it out more, but you need to spend a few grand on sensors so you know what's going on.

Hmm ok. Thanks for clearing that up for me.

Who's "everyone" else? What type of boost, what compression ratio are they running? Too vague...
GTPpower said it all!
Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
I usually target 11.5 on my grand prix
Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
Hey does anyone know if you can run a wet kit as a dry kit? I found a really good deal locally for a wet kit. I figure you could just not hook up the fuel solenoid right?

Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
I would go for it. I bet the ethanol and gasoline running through the blower would work even better as an intercooler than just nitrous running through it.

and a larger fuel pump. the pump you might have now for e85 wont be enough.

Ive heard that gas is bad for the rotors.

I have a 320lph aem pump with a caspers rewire so I think ill be ok.

Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
its been done before and works fine.
Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
I've heard that it's just fine. and even if it is, who cares? it's a gen 3 blower, will last plenty long enough and when the rotor coating is gone, another blower is cheap.

maybe not. guy in NC was running it and would run lean, iirc he had to get a 500 something, said when it turned on you felt it though the whole car, he was also on e85.
he was also running like 22º wot gen 5, 2.6 and no kr. he was blowing the doors of ls cars with bolt on mods daily lol

I also worry about the fuel solenoids failing and being screwed. It honestly just seems a lot safer to have a dry system that you can just swap pcms/tune. Either way maybe ill try it if this guy ever messages me back now.

Well I definitely plan on starting with the smallest jet first and work my way up so ill keep an eye on the wideband. But that guy was also probably making at least 50 more hp then I am and was probably doing bigger then a 50-75 shot.

Re: What's the verdict on nitrous?
he started at 50 stopped at 150 lol went back to a 75, still needed the larger pump no matter that jet he used.
