MSD Window Switch w/ Two Boxes of Pills
Blow Down Tube
Purge Kit
Fuel and N20 Solenoids
Switch Bezel for Ash Tray
Full Trottle Position Switch

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (MC TORCH RED)
any comments if I will need everything in this setup, plus anything extra, and if the motor will be fine pushing 500RWHP stock?

Just some cash and a quick spot to fill the bottle. 
I've only had mine installed a little over a week. If it wasn't for work, I'd be up to a $50 a day habit.
I've got the same goodies as you. It's a blast (pun intended).

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (TexCorvette)
Hey TexCorvette,
The list of parts looks very complete! You should have no problem with this at all. The stock C5 pump shoud have no problem handling this either.
If you need a quick tune, we can throw you on the dyno and wide band tune you pretty quick.
Let me know if you are interested.
Thanks,

Thanks, but Houston if really far from El Paso. Can you tell me now much? Or maybe what the install would run also to make it worthwhile to have the call all the way down there.

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (TexCorvette)
With a wide band sensor adjusting timing and fuel on the dyno, you are looking at $175-200 assuming your car has already been tuned and it will just need tweaking for the nitrous. If you just want to knock a few degrees out, it will be $50.00.
Definitly a long drive though.

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (Chris@SpeedDemon)
Its already had an overall tune for all th mods and such, needs one just for notrious. How much to do a clean install on the whole kit? You don't recommend a shipping service, do you?

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (TexCorvette)
I'd askthe pros first. Call 21MC. They did your H/C, right? They should know. My 2 cents: You probably will hit the rev limiter in first if your nitrous is armed. Maybe in other gears too. El Paso tracks are unpredictable as you know. Little sand, water, oil and ka boom 
. I think a window switch is good insurance. With your higher compression with LPE H/C you may need to retard your timing some, possibly increase your fuel pressure or even enlarge your injectors. If all you had was a stock C5 and NX you'd probably be OK but you have complicated things with the upgrades. TTT

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (TexCorvette)
You realy dont have to worrie about the motor handling 500 hp , its the tranny .
Tighten up the tranny with an edit if you havnt already ,, for sure !
If you let the computer shift all the time , you dont need a window switch as long as the tranny is tight .
Set your rev limiter 500 rpms above your redline .
100 shot on your setup is fine , knock a little timing out and change your plugs to NGK TR6's .
Double check the solenoids before installing the kit ! ! !
I would personaly never buy a used n20 kit unless i knew the person that bought it , when he bought it and how much hes used it .
My friend just bought a used kit and 3 pulls after the install the n20 solenoid stuck wide open (one year old kit) .
It may have been a user install error but you never know .
My car is holding 500+lbs of torque so far on a stock motor and stock tranny and im pushing 80k miles .

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (zoomz)
Got my kit today. The nozzle controls the amount of the shot, correct? I only have one, the blue one? I have two tinny fittings, numbered NX 52 and NX31 but these are the only ones I have?
Also, where can I get instructions online? Last, how do I test the solenoids before hand? What is a counter measure in case it gets stuck? How much are new solenoids?
I have an automatic, shift points are already increased when I did the tune with the H/C install. I was thinking 3400RPM, and 6200 RPM. Would this help with traction, and abuse on the tranny?
Should I change anything on my valve train, its stock except stronger springs with the cam install?

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (TexCorvette)
One nozzle mean you have a single stage kit , 2 nozzles is a 2 stage kit .
The jets you have are 100 shot jets , the 52 is the nitrous and the 31 is the fuel jet .
http://www.nitrousexpress.com/Pages/Home.htm has a lot of info on setup and jetting , you probley have an GM EFI wet kit .
On the solenoids , hook one wire to ground and the other to a hot wire and you will hear the solenoid click , thats the solenoid opening , when you take the power off it will click again .
You might want to back the redline on the window switch down to 5800 b/c with the torque converter you have , you might flash up to the rev limiter if its set to 6200 , take your rev limiter up to at least 6500 .
Make sure your shift timing is as low as it can be and you might want to add like 5% to your shift firmness .
With only a 100 -150 shot , you realy dont need to worrie about the cam and spring setup , any more than 150 you might want a split duration cam .

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (zoomz)
I'm going to do 100, and maybe 150 if I'm ever so close to the next second bracket
My tranny shifts around 6500 now, and is firmer, though I will have all that checked again, and run it for the first time on the dyno to tune the car (retard the timing a little maybe) Several people have mentioned I might not need the window switch, but I think it can help my launched, and tranny, am I mistaken?
The kit is about 1.5 years old with not much use on it, anything with a major improvement sense then that I might want to upgrade?

Re: 100Wet on my setup? (TexCorvette)
I have the same gear and t/c you have and my rpm's will flash to 6600 and hit the rev limiter if the car shifts at 6k with my 150 shot , running a 100 shot might not be a problem .
Your going to be putting down like 500/500 with the 100 shot so its going to strain the tranny a little but should handle it as long as your not sprayin off the line .
You can hit a 150 shot safely as long as your at 3k when sprayin .
I was sprayin 150 out the hole on a stock converter and 315 gears and putting down 421whp/498wtq and netted a 11.4@120 , 1.6/60" and never had a problem with it .
Im personaly going to buy new solenoids every 1.5 years to be on the safe side .
