  5. Sold My Sss

    in Off-Topic/General

    Posted · Edited by smoke03 (see edit history)

    Sold my SSS this morning. Guy showed up from Lubbock, Texas with cash in hand and drove away with it. Man, it was beautiful after the detailing that it got last night. Anyway, It didnt take long to find another garage ornament. I went to my parent house and picked up the truck I got when I was 16. It never EVER gets driven and needs a little work. Anyway here are some pics. It needs a cleaning.

     

    1985 Silverado K20. 350 cid, 4 speed trans.

  7. When To Press The Button

    in Forced Induction and Nitrous

    It sounds like it would be better with the kit that doesnt blast when shifting but how much does it cost? Also if you can figure out what rpm your going to shift, and set a nitrous mechanism. Why couldnt you just let off the button? Does it just spray to the end once you hit it or can uyou let off the button and stop the spray?

     

     

    All you have to do is buy the wiondow switch(Mine was $60-$70) and wire it in. Its really simple. Theres a how to on here somewhere.You could just use the button its just less hassle if you have a switch that does it automatically. If you use a window switch then you dont have to have the button. The switch acts like your button. You jus set it to start at a certain rpm and stop at a certain rpm. As long as the rpms are in that range it will spray.

    Some spray through shifts, some dont. I wouldnt reccomend it. That is the wonderful thing about a window switch. You can set it to start spraying at one rpm and stop spraying at another. (shift point) Then once the rpms fall back within range it will start spraying again. No need for a manual press button. A bottle heater is a MUST HAVE item. It is what keeps the bottle pressure up. You want your bottle pressure to be high (900-1000 psi) before you spray. The lower the pressure the less horsepower you will gain. Example: If you spray at 600 psi then you wont get the same boost as you do when spraying at 950 psi. Like I said. Ideal bottle pressure is approxximatley 900-1000 psi.

  12. Nitros Question

    Here is your excuse for pillar gauges. N20 gauge, Fuel pressure gauge, and a AFR Wideband (not just a regular afr) Basically it gives you a VERY accurate reading of your Air/fuel Ratio. Instead of just a little light flickering on a regular (non wideband) gauge you will actually get a numerical reading. It will actually come with a sensor (Identical to an o2 sensor) that goes into your exhaust. A local muffler shop can put the 02 bung in for you. I just used the o2 bung from where my rear o2 sensors USED to be before I deleted them. This will tell you if you are to lean or to rich while spraying. This is important and will help keep you from blowing the engine. Im not doubting zippy at all because he is far more knowledgeable on tuning than I will ever be. However I wouldnt feel safe spraying without some timing pulled from the truck. As far as the colder plugs, I cant give you an explanation. All I know is you are suppost to run a colder plug with any forced induction (I.E. Turbo/Supercharger) or nitrous application.

  13. A Few Questions From A New Ss Owner.

    in General SS

    Volat makes a CAI with an optional attachment like your talking about that runs down into the brake ducts on the bumper. Few have seen much gain from this product though. As far as a tune, depending on your location you can have a mail order tune like mentioned above or find a tuner local that can dyno tune your truck. And MANY people have had the gauge cluster problem. Like also stated above if Your truck has under 70,000 miles then the dealer will fix it for free.

  22. Nitros Question

    Harris Speedworks makes a very nice complete plate kit for 500-600 bucks. All youll need then is your gauges and a bottle heater INVEST IN A WIDEBAND AFR GAUGE. Very important. NX and NOS are very good brands as well. I would go with a plate setup If I did it again. Then nozzle is good but the TB plate is better. You'll need a Fuel pressure and a nitrous gauge as well. The tune is VERY important as well. I wouldnt go over a 125-150 shot. DO NOT SPRAY ON A STOCK TUNE, PERIOD!!!! No you will not need seperate tunes. Sure the Nitrous tune will pull a little HP from the truck under normal driving circumstances but Ill bet my next paycheck on the fact that you wont be able to tell a difference. I couldnt. NGK TR6 Spark plugs are what you would want to run as well. Hope this helps.
