After browsing over the 50 pages of the Nitrous section one question pops up on just about every page.

Can I run Nitrous on my stage #/#-trim/GT####
The answer isYES.

A Nitrous wet kit is a stand alone addition, not just another mod. Nitrous is totally independent; it has its own fuel supply and oxygen supply. Therefore, it does not care what other mods, tricks and do-dads it shares the engine bay with. Nitrous does not care if you are running 2 PSI or 20 PSI; Stage 0 or stage 10. As long as you provide compression and ignition, Nitrous will do what it was intended to do, add HP. Do not try to use Nitrous to tune your car. Use Nitrous to add to what you already have

When you activate your Nitrous kit, your air/fuel ratio should stay the same.
That meaning, if you have your car tuned to a flat 11.8:1 across the board on motor and it runs well and you are comfortable with your tune and the way your car performs on that tune, you should strive for the same A/F ratio on Nitrous. Some people subscribe to the train of thought that you should run slightly richer, (11.5 instead of 11.8 for instance) that's fine and a very common practice, but you're not fully releasing the potential of your nitrous kit by running it intentionally rich. It's a fine line between performance and safety margin and you'll have to make that decision when it's your call and you're in the hot seat.

If you activate your Nitrous kit and your air/fuel ratio drops rich, adjust the size of the fuel jet in the Nitrous kit to compensate, not the cars fuel tune, not the injectors, not the fuel pressure, not the boost, ect. Remember, your tuning a stand alone Nitrous system at this point, not your cars air/fuel ratio. You should already have the car running the way you want it before you add Nitrous, weather that be with a big turbo, or stage whatever, or bone stock.

Bump for good info. While I have said time and time agian you do not need anything to tune your system for nitrous, if you want your system to run good all the time you will have to tune it for the "rest of the time."

You gotta pay to play. Either in cold hard cash or in time invested and sweat.

Read all the stickies and then, if your unsure of anything, post a new thread with your question. Don't clutter up the stickies with useless questions. they are there for refferance, not your personal soap box. Who wants to read 20 pages of "yea buts" when all you need is two posts of good hard data.

If it were up to me, the stickies would be read only and the only ones that could add to, or change them would be the mods.
