smokin1100 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Hello all. Thinking of putting the bottle on my 03 & I am looking for any opinions on the kits that are out there today. Which are good & which are not. My 03 is stock right now other then a cold air intake with ram air hood. I am planning on doing headers & exhaust with a program in the sping. I would like to run 150-200 shot. Any suggestions would be great. Thx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smoke03 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 nice name...welcome to the site As for a "program" you'll need to go with a custom PCM tune. PM Zippy or Wheatley (screennames on this forum).They can hook you up. As for nitrous, NX and NOS seem to be the kits i hear about alot. I would stay away from the zex kit. Ive not heard good things about those kits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brobradh77 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I would not spray over 150 shot on a stock motor. IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thomp62301 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 As for kits, I think the NX is one of the best out there. As for the amount of nitrous you want to use, stick to a 150 shot max at less you use a progressive nitrous controller then i would say you could run a 200 shot but thats still pushing it on a stock bottom end. Be sure to get a custom tune or timing retard box to back the timing down also. And talk to zippy for trans mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moog5050 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 Dave's Nitrous Outlet sells a great complete package with a plate kit for the stock truck throttle bodies. It includes everything you will need. I plan on buying it shortly. They are also very helpful and informative. I have been speaking with Ray and he has been very helpful.

mean05 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 I would not spray over 150 shot on a stock motor. IMO Puss why not....i hit a 250 shot on over 30+ bottles on my bone stock motor Okay i love nitrous and used properly it can be greta and fun, but if you are a first time user don't go over a 150 shot, even with AWD a 200 was to much of a hit at one time my 250 shot is on 2 stages and i have a stand alone fuel system for the nitrous also....another reason why i can hit the big shot.....as for kits the best one i have found and i absolutely love is nitrous outlet they are based in Waco Texas and sell a beautiful plate kit which is the way i would advise going....also invest in a bottle heater....and a pressure gauge.....tell the tuner whoever it may be that you want to run about 20° of timing for the shot....yes it's a lil more then needed removed but better safe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mean05 Posted February 7, 2008 Report Share Posted February 7, 2008 LOl oh Virgil when i typed my respoonse i was thinking about you reading it..lol I know you have sprayed alot more and your truck is a beast but what all have you broke on the truck as a result? 150 shot from what I have seen seems to be the most yu want to spray and keep some dependability at the track. i have broke the trans and rear end...but those were destin to happen...trans will only hold so much power and the rear end blew cause i leave on the 150 shot.....truck was consitant...went 7.75 5 times in a row at 3 different track over 2 months cutting a 1.67-1.72 60 and hitting 86mph each time and each of those times i pulled a trailer to the track..... But i agree without a lot of knowledge on knowing how to use nitrous and having someone else tune for the nitrous i would keep it at a 150 shot....i just have a lot of balls and no fear of blowing the motor cause i will just a better one for it for a reference though when the truck had a cold air intake a nitrous tune and a 150 shot off the fuel rail with Nitrous Daves kit i went 12.80 with a 1.77 60' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
