The only thing he wasn't able to answer was, if our trucks had a fuel sensative fuel pressure regulator.
What is a fuel pressure regulator going to be sensitive too? Salad dressing?
Did your "research" into the usage of nitrous happen to include a trip to a local ricer shop or something?

Maybe he meant "boost" sensitive or "vaccum" sensitive fuel pressure regulator?
'Course, I'm an NOS idiot - so just my $.02. In the case of forced induction, I can see where having a boost sensative fuel pressure regulator would be important, but I'm missing something since NOS isn't forced, just cold.

And don't forget this: advertised SAE net HP ratings mean nothing! Read in one the trucking mags that the "345 hp 6.0 liter LS1" actually puts down like 280 to the wheels... and they expect the '03 (or is it an early '04?) SS to run low 15's in the quarter--whereas the lower rated 340 hp '02 HD puts down 315-335 rwhp... and runs mid-high 14's bone stock.

Put 10K more into a L and you have a SRT10 killer already. Also, dodge has said if they do produce the SRT10 it will be very very low production, not high enough to see one on the roads very often. Their bigger competitor to the L will end up being the Hemi ram when it comes out, but even that doesn't have the power to compete with a L. The chevy SS pickup was supposed to be a L killer, now its just turned out to be a heavy exteded cab with 20's and the escy engine. srt 10 may turn out the same way. do a search on the L forum about the srt 10, there are TONS of posts on it. No use in getting worked up for if a L can compete against a vehicle that doesn't even exist yet
I'm sure when the time comes, ford will up the power on the L, but not until they get redesigned. This is the last year for this body style, and the 05 L is supposed to get a twin screw s/c, so it'll have more power...as to how much more, nobody knows yet 
And when that time gets here, the HD series will be over, so nothing to gain power wise after that with the HD models.
It'll all work out with time

So I would say that the SRT-10 will be the L killer and is suppose to be out Spring 2003.
I've been looking into Nitrous on the 5.4L HD engine. I've decided if I do go with it I will not be going over 100 shot. Nitrous is not something to play with and can be very costly.
There is a 2000 HD in town here and he has a 100 shot. I've personally never seen it run our even look at his setup but I've been told it ran 14.54 1/4 at 3500 Ft. Like I said before I did not witness this though so It could be wrong.

SubZer0, i see you are a new member and haven't been on here very long, so i am assuming you got all your info from magazines and such. yes, thats what they were innitially saying, but think about it, how is dodge going to sell basically a pickup truck version of the viper, for about 1/2 the price of the viper. Just won't happen. I'm so tired about reading about it all on the L board about the srt10, and tired of posting about it cuz its pointless. Do a search on the L forum about the SRT-10, there are lots of insiders on this site, and things have changed alot since then.
enough with the vapor wars already. the truck doesn't even exist yet... if and when the real thing does come out, then we'll know if it'll be priced near the L, a L killer or not, but until then, its pointless
welcome to the site btw

(The moral of the story is no the new Dodge will not be close in pricing.)

Spraying a 100 or 150 shot dry nitrous kit on a boosted engine with no other way to compensate and add additional fuel besides relying on the IAT sensor to richen up the solution and or retarding the timing while on spray is going to be a very expensive undertaking for you
