I know there are plenty of threads on nitrous but none of them seem to address The venom electronic nitrous injection. I am looking to buy a kit in a week or so and was leaning towards the venom system. Wondering what you guys know about it...other choice is nx...stock 6spd by the way

 

the venom looks like a good setup. if I'm correct they reference bottle pressure to adjust nitrous flow which is a great idea. not too many people have used them yet. they seem to be more popular with the import crowd. the NX is a quality system IMHO. Chris R. is doing an article on the ZEX (venom right??) system install on a ZR1. sounds nice!!!

 

Well, we sell the NX kits as well as the TNT kits! The TNT kits have really impressed me lately! The fit and finish of this kit is great!
You can check them out at http://www.nitrous-power.com . We should have them listed on our page very soon, so check back there also.
We have a few of the kits in stock and we have them at an AWESOME price!!!!
Give me a ring or drop me an email and I would be happy to help.
Thanks,

 

Out of curiousity, what will a bone stock LT-1 vette with traction run in the 1/4 with say a 125 shot?

 

Depends on traction but mid 12's is conservative, faster w/ good traction and a hard launch.

With nothing more a a NOS dry 125 shot I ran 7.49 in the 1/8th mile with my ZR-1. That will put me in the mid 11's in the 1/4 mile

NOS is the nitrous manufacturer that has CARB approval for many of it's kits.

 

How difficult is it to launch that zr-1 when using nitrous...i havent taken my 6spd to the track yet....my 92 was cake to launch and i am pretty new to manual transmissions...just wondering

 

Our local track has good traction so I launch at 3-3500rpm. I don't dump the clutch too quickly. I also don't go WOT until I've rolled out 20' or so. It takes quite a bit of practice to get it right.

In case you know nothing about the venom system here is a brief overview.
It uses a control box to sense throttle angle, rpm, and user inputted data to determine activation point. The control box measures air fuel ratio and modulates the injector pulse width in order to keep the mix from going bad. you select how much nitrous you want injected by hooking the box to your computer. it does some other things too. If it works i cant think of any system that would be much safer for a street car. The web address is http://www.venom-performance.com. it is the vcn-2000. Any input. It is advertised mostly for imports but they sell corvette specific kits.

I've heard about it and it sounds promising. When it comes to nitrous I would not want to be a guinne pig. That's why I use NOS brand products because they have been doing it longer than anyone else.

 

Venom? TNT? NX? Who are these people? How many national event win plaques do they have on their walls? IMHO there is NO other company to look to for nitrous but NOS. You already own a top of the line car, put in top of the line parts.

 

Always look forward... never straight ahead. :D

 

I know lot of cars that run the national events run systems from NOS but the thing is all the systems have something good about them, most cars that run the national event have wet systems and NOS is strong there, we run in a class were we have to leave the line really soft so we went with Nitrous Works because there system does not hit as hard.
I have not used the Venom system but it looks really good and in a way they have a litte more then others.
I like the Timed Mode that they have I think it would be a good system for the Corvette at the dragstrip because you have it hit 50% on the line and then have it go to 100% after you get rollen.
NOS has a progressive controler but it is for the wet system and it does not look at the O2 so see if you are running lean and it does not cut it off if you are running lean.
If I was going to run a NOS system on my Street car then I would not use the fuel pressure safty switch I would use a switch from this company http://www.speedshop.org/detail.asp?...T_ID=NEDT-0011
Because it looks at the O2 and turns it off if it goes to lean but if it was a race car then I would.
Fuel safty switch is a good thing to have it is just so hard to just and you never know if your gauge is showing right one time we had 3 gauges and all of the showed a different number.
Like I say I have not used the Venom system but I would use it because it looks good on payper.

Well this is just my 2 cents

Good points. I sometimes get scared to stray away from brands that I know work! Good to hear there's other stuff out there that works as well.
