6.0ss Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 I have noticed that my truck feels so much slower when the temps get above 80 With my radix, not as big of a difference with NA motors and im sick of it! The Audi and VW guys around here run a 5-10 shot of NOS in the summer to cool the intake temps and gain that HP back. Has anyone considered this on our trucks? Is It Possible, and would i need tuning for something this small? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenKey Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 no, no, no, I like his idea. Although, I think 50 is a better number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krambo Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 This would be sprayed through the Radix, is there any cause for alarm there with respect to damage to the blower? Just curious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just curious. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The blower should be able to handle it fine. Your bottom end might be a different story, depending on how much you want to push through. Others have used a 50-shot and Radix at the track with success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
haynss Posted August 31, 2005 Report Share Posted August 31, 2005 no, no, no, I like his idea. Although, I think 50 is a better number. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> or a 75 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My searches come up with no grounds for a firm decision via a pro/con variable test. Of course it seems that the stock internals should handle the above scenario with ease. BenKey, is there a member here with that set up I could question that you know? Or anybody for that matter? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6.0ss Posted September 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 So Im not nuts for thinking this would be a good move.. The Small Shot would reduce intake temps... Add small HP Conserve NOS (small shot not refilling all the time) More consistant track times when the weather is hot. Get points at Shows for having NOS! Zippy. I still have not called Nelson to get his stinking passcode off the CPU. Im going to get on that Tuesday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zippy Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 i'm thinking a 35 shot would be fine. not dry though, we don't need to challenge the injectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j4nash Posted September 2, 2005 Report Share Posted September 2, 2005 Zippy. I still have not called Nelson to get his stinking passcode off the CPU. Just take your truck to the dealer and have then flash your PCM.Nellson is a pain to deal with and to make it worse his tune is a piece 0f.... well you get the point.

I actually tried to reflash it while he was here. the problem is that the calibration number still shows the most current and the GM system won't allow you to reflash an up to date computer (only based on calibration number). up until about 2-3 years ago you could reflash it just out of sheer boredom. i believe i could have hacked the system with tunercat, but that isn't as reliable and time was a limit. allen simply needs to send him a stock radix tune unlocked.
