Question Nitrous Questions

What fuel upgrades do I need or should I have for a 150/200HP wet shot of nitrous? Fuel regulator, fuel rails, high volume pumps, etc?

Everything you have listed. You may also need to upgrade your supply lines.


It also depends on how much boost you will be running.

Okay, maybe I should ask how much can I spray w/o going to new fuel lines, pumps, rails, regulator, injectors?

Tommy, what do you have as far as fuel system upgrades?

I want to be the first to run a 200hp shot on a stock block with a 6lb lower.

It's a Ford. Of course It will take it. Probably a 250hp shot and 6lber before a rod or wrist pin breaks.

Well at this point I have nothing done to my fuel system. I will be doing the fuel pumps ASAP. My current setup is an 8# pulley (aprox 16lbs of boost) and a 75 shot (Wet). I am running some Xyline mix (aprox 101 oct). At this time my program is a bit on the extreme side. I have a Diablo Delta (2 program) with a street/race nitrous and a race no nitrous. The timing on the street side is supposed to be 15 deg and is showing 19.5. The race side (took out a few plugs even with race fuel and no nitrous) Is suposed to run about 19 deg but a data logging showed timing of 27 deg and not even at the top of the gear. So I need to get some new programs before running my L again.

I also have an appointment to get my steering box looked at (leaking, should still be under warranty)

I have not climbed under yet but it seemed to be coming from the equipment the steering rod is connected to (not sure what it is called) But I may be wrong.
