Default Nitrous Question

I am thinking of putting a dry kit 100hp shot on my ls6 powered coupe. It dynoed 347rwhp last year at the wheels. I put a magnaflow exhaust on it since then and will put the jug on and was wondering what numbers others have gotten from this set up. Car ran 12.3 at 113mph. I also put BF drag radials 315/30/18. If anyone has similar set up let me know how it worked out for you>

The 5177 rates at the crank, so the 100hp jets give about a 75/80hp rear wheel hp. So the 5 tenths is about the area you'll see. Can up size later if not enough, but things to consider when going bigger with dry. The dry can be upgraded fully later, big single stage, dual stage dry, dual stage dry/wet or many other combos. If you have any questions PM, e-mail or ask on thread as I have lots of info on 5177 and the math. check out my web site pics and in links.

FPSS is a safety item, many do not use one. I do, but they can sometimes be problematic. Yea relay is as you said. I have a schematic to show what number per prong is for what if needed. My PM is working again also.

You might get a better response if you post it in the C5 Forced Induction/Nitrous section. http://forums.corvetteforum.com/forumdisplay.php?f=86

You can run a 100 dry shot all day long with no issues, just throw in some TR6 plugs and spray BEFORE the MAF sensor. The PCM will compensate.
