Hey fellas, I'm seriously considering a 100/125 shot.

I have an 06 LS2 MN6 Z51 bone stock with 18K miles on it. I am also planning on adding the Vararam at the same time.

1) Will my stock clutch hold up? I only plan on spraying 3rd and 4th gear and only a few times a month.

2)I want it rpm activated so when I flip a switch to arm it, it's ready to go without having to hold down a button.

I prefer a kit that does not require tuning and is good to go on the oem ecu tune. Which kit will best suit my needs?

Thanks,

Kevin

 

Kevin,

Your clutch will prob hold up just fine. I just finished installing a 150 wet shot on a C6 Z51 w/40000 miles on it and he sprays every chance he gets.

There are lots of controllers out there that will accomodate a programmable RPM activated signal as well as a WOT only signal taken from the ECU.

As far as squeezing nitrous w/o a tune, I believe a lot of people here will tell you that you're playing with fire. Some people do 100-125 shot on a stock tune and get away with it, while others have to buy new engines. That will be a gamble you will have to take.

 

I suppose I'm concerned that the "nitrous tune" will affect my perfect driveability, since I'm going to be off the bottle 99% of the time.

 

I think as long as your tuner does a good job with the tune on and off the bottle, you will more than likely not notice a change in driveability in any way.

 

If I understand this correctly, with a wet kit, it is tuned just for while on the spray, without affecting my driveabilty while off the spray?

 

Yes all nitrous kits will only spray when you turn thearming switch on.

 

I can honestly say I've never changed the tune on any of my cars for a wet shot of nitrous under or equal to a 175 shot. I tune that with jet sizing.

Your clutch will be fine if you don't get too much traction. Do a search and you'll get a lot of info on this!

 

Kevin,

Your clutch should hold up fairly well. I can honestly tell you though that we all start out with small shots here and there, which quickly escalate to huge shots out of the hole . With a little self control, you'll be able to keep the clutch together for a while.

Since you want it RPM activated, you're going to need a window switch. Take a look at the MicroEDGE we offer. Not only does it have a dual stage window switch, it also has a built in TPS switch, a/f shut down switch (lean w/ stock narrowband and lean/rich w/ wideband), as well as a bunch of delays and gear lock-outs. If you're also looking for more safety accessories, take a look at the all-out package. Quite a bit of savings in there when you buy them as a package.

On the nitrous kits, you won't need to touch anything on the tune, with the exception of the timing. This can be accomplished a few ways. You can have someone flash the ECM with a tune that has less timing in it. Disadvantage is that you'll be running timing that is not optimal for your N/A set up. Another option is that you can use an aftermarket device that can pull timing while using nitrous and leaves your N/A timing alone. Such a device would be our Interface controller. If you have any questions, please let me know. Thanks.

The dry is actually the style that can have truely two tunes in one, where one does not affect the other. The HSW dry kit includes the Interface for fueling and timing. You can dial in your a/f ratio in 5hp increments, which allows for exact a/f ratios; where as, the wet hits end up with a much more general a/f ratio. Also, the Interface allows for timing pull that won't affect the n/a timing. This kit is truly the easiest kit on the market for the average guy to tune, and tune correctly. then if your also running the Microedge, you can see your a/f displayed right on the controller at all times, so tuning is a breeze. you can see this basic kit on my C5/C6 install write up.
