Default What do i need for a nitrous set up

I have a 99 c5 m6 with 106k on the clock. I have full exhaust with no cats and a black wing with tune. Currently puts down 355rwhp 360rwtq. I want to do a 50-75 shot. I really dont want to retune my car and just install a kit. I have zero experience with NOS and want to be as safe as possible since its my DD.

looking at these 2 kits

I would be glad to help you out with your nitrous needs. We never recommend spraying over 150shot on a stock bottom end. Now the key to nitrous is consistency and having a correct tune. Consistency is done with the supporting accessories of the Nitrous system. The tune is done by your tuner but we also sell and Ignition controller that removes timing when using nitrous. This helps your tuner and this also lets you keep your all motor tune on the street and when you activate the nitrous it removes timing. When you are done with the system you turn off the arming switch and the all motor tune is back to normal.


Our system is capable from 35hp all the way to a 200hp shot .I would recommend going with our x-series system for your needs. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/x-serie...le-system.html


I would recommend using an aftermarket pump and using a hot wire kit to make sure the pump can supply the amount of fuel to the fuel solenoid that the system demands for proper nitrous to fuel ratios which ultimately effect your air fuel ratio of the motor.

I would recommend a few supporting accessories to help you out. The first being a window switch to activate the system based upon TPS and RPM. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/electro...-switches.html we will have these window switches back in stock first week of april.

I would recommend using a ignition timing controller to help control timing when spraying nitrous. Ignition timing must be removed when it comes using nitrous due to the increased cylinder pressures. You will also want to switch to a non projected tip spark plug as the factory spark plugs are not the correct heat range plug. You will want to go with a two step colder spark plug when spraying up to a 150 shot http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/lingenf...ontroller.html

I would recommend a purge system to ensure that the main feed line is free of air and completely fills the line of nitrous from the bottle to the inlet fitting of the solenoid. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/x-serie...purge-kit.html

A bottle pressure gauge is used to monitor bottle pressure after the bottle has been heated properly through any one of our warmers. I would suggest using a wrap around heater. They have more surface area to warm and heat the bottle and do a very good job. We never recommend using a torch to heat a bottle as that will cause severe bodily damage of death. We have seen this before first hand. Torches are a serious no. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/x-serie...cessories.html

We do offer a switch panel choices for you . This will keep your installation of your switches super clean and neat. http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/gm-97-0...tch-panel.html


If you have any questions let me know, you can message me back or call me directly 254-848-4300 EXT 109 and I would be glad to answer them. If you would like a quote on everything please provide me your full name, address and phone number and I would be glad to email you a quote.
