You do need to buy rpm pills for the MSD window switch, which is why I went with the Mallory.
Call me dumb :hat , but what are you talking about? (pills)

What is the difference in the TNT over the other wet kits? Is it just the way the power is rated as was posted or are their other differences?

no cure, Yes there is a convert 3000GT they only made them in 95 :cheers:

Ron Price, TNT under rates their kits so you think wow I got 120rwhp from a 100 shot that must mean it is better when they are only adding more N2O. So a TNT "150" shot is probably more like 170rwhp. So you might be able to do a NX 150 shot without any problems and then put a TNT "150" shot on and need a bigger fuel pump :cheers:

for a TNT 150 shot you NEED a new fuel pump in addition to a feul pressure reg, if you keep running the 150 shot you WILL break something.

Pills are the modules that plug into the MSD window switch. You need to plug in two pills/modules, one to activate the device at certain rpm (in this case 3000rpm) and the other is when to deactivate (5800rpm). They usually sell these in a set of 5 pills for each 1000rpm range (3200rpm, 3400rpm......3800rpm). So you will end up buying two set of pills (3000rpm and 5000rpm).

Where as on the Mallory window switch you do not need these modules because it has a built control rpm range.

Thanks Tuan. It looks like the Mallory gives you a little more adjustability. I'll probably go that way. Eric

:yesnod: :yesnod: :yesnod: Yup, that's all you have to do. You got ripped by MSD, big time. Shame on them.

-Tuan
GRRR.... lame lame lame..... especially cause after it got back, it still didn't work cause they never clipped the wires in the first place. Works great now.... 100 plus dollars later. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the advice on the 150 shot.. I guess the new fuel pump in my next purchase! :lol: :lol:

By the way, the car looked like this thing... only black.

I really questions whether the issue is with fuel pressure or with the size of the injectors and the air/fuel ratio.

In my experience I would say the injector size is the biggest limiting factor to not running a 150hp shot. In the earlier C5's, 97-98, the injectors where larger, as was the case with the F-bodies. On my 98 WS6 I ran a 150hp shot only because I felt safer with the larger injectors. I monitored my fuel pressure always, and utilized a Fuel Pressure Safety Switch.

I believe if you want to run a 150hp TNT kit, you should consider changing your injectors and use a MAFT to tune this set up properly. Getting a MAFT will allow you to trick the computer and allow more fuel into the system when running nitrous. The bigger injectors just allow you to maximize the amount you inject. The nice thing about a MAFT is it will let you recalibrate this system at the times in which you are not running nitrous so that you do not experience a rich condition at these times.

The high flow fuel pump is nice, but it is not going to do much for you unless your injectors meet the amount of added fuel being pumped to them. And the regulators are only available for the earlier model C5's anyway.

My last suggestion would be to pick up AutoTap or go get your air/fuel monitored by a local dyno shop so that you cantune the MAFt accordingly. The little autometer air/fuel gauge like I run is cool looking, but I don't trust it for it's accuracy.

On a wet kit (in regard to this post), it doesn't matter on the injector size because the nitrous system will add its' own fuel through a second solenoid. And the injectors will be injecting the same amount of fuel regardless of how big of a shot you are running.

So if there is anything that needed to be upgraded first, it would be the fuel pump before the injectors.

[QUOTE]What a ride!

yelling over taunting us, and saying something about how american sh** sucks. I think he was probably talking about eating S**T that is probably one of his sick fetishes that and getting spanked in a street race. That would explain the reason someone would own a 3000 gt if they liked to get slapped around by just about everyone. :jester

I have SVO 30 lb injectors and when I decide to go with a 150 shot with an auxillury fuel pump, will the injectors make that much of a difference over the stock injectors? Eric

Sounds good, just don't get too greedy...do periodic maintenance(checking solenoids, plugs to make sure everything is up to snuff) and monitor bottle pressure.

Have fun "SHOOTING IT" :chevy

Going to bigger injectors will also affect the timing curve. Take a look at an excellent article written by kewlbrz @ http://www.vetteguru.com/mods/howto/#injectors for more details.
