intro to NOS system
Hey guys, I own an 84 Corvette. I purchased this car @ 151k miles, odometer not working.
I have modifid fuel system, and intake to a performance based TPI.
The stock L83 piston compression is 9.0:1.
I also have begun using Mobil 1 synthetic.
the car has power to it.
compression test results were good. 130-145 lbs of pressure 10-15 varaiance between cylinders).
I am planning on adding Nitrous oxide and an Accel mastermind Nitrous contol system in car.
I am new to Nitrous.
some Q's.
1. is 125HP kit too big for my application or should I keep it between 75-100?
2. what safety issues should i be aware of?
3.what proceidures can I implement to keep the system safe?
4.Can NOS explode in summer time due to rising pressure?
5.Where would i go for refills?
6.any critical information I shoudl know of?
7. which brand is recommended? Is NOS good?

2) Not really sure. You should not overload the motor with NOS like above. As long as you keep fuel in it, it should not detonate.
3) Not sure about that.
4) There is refill stations. You could google them for places in your area. Dont let them overfill the bottle though! That is a safety issue
6) Information is, if it is not used correctly, your motor will be blown. Make sure your system is up to par, installed correctly, have some gauges, make sure your bottle is secure, fuel system is in good working order ect.
7) I prefer NOS brand myself...That is just me though.

5. I have my own fillin station! I was gettin em filled @ first by someone & I run a wet shot, I weighed the bottle after!!! it was 5lbs. short! so I bought my own setup which is about 1k. unless you put the pump on your bottles You only get About 2 mins.out of a bottle!! 1300lbs. full, & run to 900lbs. thats on a 10lb. bottle. I run 3 bottles!

Here's something I wrote a couple years ago. I don't agree with some of it anymore, but it should answer most of your questions.
