A 6an line should be enough to flow 400 on the nitrous side of things. I think it is when you cross the 400-500 hp line that you have to do multiple stages (solenoids/lines/etc).

Correct me if I am wrong guys, been a long time since I ran nitrous on anything.

No way I would shot 400 to 500 on a one shot.

Just picked up a Vengeance LSX 440 that was purposeful built to handle a 450 shot all at once but I will use progressive set up to dial into track conditions.

I got enough engine just want to make sure my -6 line is big enough so all saying it is????
