Default N2O.....

I'm in the planning stages of my next mod. I'm looking to install a N.O.S. adj. wet kit up to 150hp shot. I'm still fairly new to the do's and don'ts of N2O so is there any tips or anything i should know before i actually buy a system? Thanks for any help!

current status:
'86' L98, A4, 2:59, Lt headers, 2.5" flowmaster exhaust, 160 stat. and K&N. :smash:

Stay with 100 shot
Use a throttle body activation switch and a window RPM switch.
Have fun :seeya

:iagree: with the 100hp shot, any more with the stock engine internals may be risky. Thats my opinion

i would say 150 shot with the right tuning. I would pull timing out and change plugs and go with a good aftermarket ignition!

You should be fine as long as it is tuned right!

What you do is run a quater mile and before letting off the gas kill the car and the NOS coast to a stop and then check the plugs if they are anadized looked like a blue or pinkish then it is lean lean! make sure your fuel pressure is up and i would tune it on a dyno to check air/fuel so you dont run lean and burn up the motor!

i ran a 150shot with 10psi of boost!

but then again i was trying to blow the motor but i did run a 150 shot for awhile here is a vid clip http://www.speedmafia.com/383d1/index.htm
