Cool, yeah i was talking for the new 392 charger. Might pull the trigger on a $800 kit from nitrous outlet with a 10 lbs bottle. Wonder how many hits i get on a bottle at 75hp and how much a fill is guess i can look into that


Depends on your switch finger, your foot, and your ability to say "thats enough!"

As they say in the ad's YOUR MILEAGE MAY VARY

P.S. Im curious also, what did they find?


Still nothing. I have the car now wiyh a recorder i side to datalog the computer. So whrn it dies again they can read the data. So far it hasnt happened again. Frustrating to me but maybe it was bad gas


Was kind of wondering that myself. Thought when I first read this you were trying to figure out how to go faster from stopped to dead stall the fastest you could.

I had good luck with Nitrous Express kits....always did wet shot. I used 100 to 300 ahot.for a 392 Dodge I would do a 150 shot and maybe take 2 degrees out.

Have to make sure fuel pump will handle it and what tranny are you running?

Get on Mopar frums and see what they arendoing. A 150 shot on a stock car is a ton of fun.....

I really like the NANO system to keep constant preasure...and get a 15lb bottle or bigher....trust me....it's fun. I had 2 cars on the bottle at the same time and had a refill station in my garage

The guys on the forum say 150hp shot max but i want to cap it at 125hp to be safe.

My trans is a hp70 8 speed

Looked at a refill station but $1,100 is more than the nitrous kit but i guess bulk nitrous might save me money down the line. I will look into that.

Be aware that a "refill station" may also require permits and inspections depending on where installed, especially in a housing only area. I would check into that before spending any money on it.

Will any of this void your warranty?

don't put it on until the base problem has been solved. Obviously it can't cause the issue you are already having, but it COULD give them the excuse to end up leaving you hanging.

As to warranty, if you have a problem, remove the obvious kit components from the car before taking it in.
