Nitrous Questions

[76miller]

Reality check time,
1000 # of nitrous=100 ten# bottles = $ 45.+- per 10# bottle = $4,500.00
Plus your time to chase it and change the bottles.
Time on the bottle.........10# = about 90 seconds ?
That amount of money would have bought some real parts rather than ....air ....
Cool buzz kill ! Man, you sound like a guy who might-a -got broke off by someone with a smaller motor and some squeeze !

Have you picked out what kit your gonna get yet ? I'm tired of wondering how cool it is..?..I'm going for it ! Good thread though. -76miller
It's not my car it's in. I'm just trying to get some answers for my father.
But I know it's a "Cheater" NOS system. From 125 shot to 250. I still have two systems I intended on using, one was a 100-175 carb spacer shot for my challenger, and the other was one I had made for my 660 Raptor. But he's going to test it, and I'm sure I'll post some results from it, since we're NOS newbies too. Hopefully we'll get some wheel stands

Another point nobody has mentioned is bottle pressure. Ideal pressure is around 1050psi. If your working on your tuneup try to keep your pressure the same every hit. It helps in tuning. I generally keep mine around 900psi unless I need to lean on it a little bit. Generally will go to the staging lanes with around 1075-1125psi. Then purge it a few times to get all the air out of the line and bring bottle pressure down.

There is something wrong with this part. I wish 10#'s lasted 90 seconds; if it did wouldn't he have 90 seconds x 100= 9,000 seconds/60 = 150 hrs. That would work for me.
:idea:
That would be 150 minutes or 2.5 hrs.
I've got no misconceptions about what performance you can get out of nitrous.
Been there and done that.
Didn't want to ruffle feathers here, just make a point about how costs add up.

Thanks for the correction. I was driving down the road and thought to my self 60x60=3600 to get to hours, damn missed. Yeah, when you do the math
you would get 2.5 hrs for $ 4,500. but you only pay for it a little at a time.
Like I said " It's sex in a bottle"

Thanks Mark, we would be lost without you.

Last year I ran a Wilson fogger 250 shot on a 565 big chief, .028/.028 jets at 6.5 psi, product engr. reg with bypass, pulled 10-11 degrees on a digital MSD retard, NGK R5671A9 non projected tip plug, button activated on the wheel or NOS timer for bracket racing.
I think most guys who are running a decent amount of n20 rephase the rotor to your timing setting while on the bottle and general rule of thumb for retard is 2 degree/50 HP.

that's why my new boat has boost instead although it will see a small shot of nitrous too next yr. on top of the blower:devil:

Just a few quick suggestions.
#1, Bottle pressure.... 900-1000psi Excessive bottle pressure increases nitrous flow and makes for a lean condition which is a bad thing....
