Nitrous for a 2004 V6

What units are easier to install, a wet or dry?

What units are recommended?

Thanks, Nick

Dry for sure, but that is beside the point. If you go beyond a certain point of amount of nitrous injected, then you have to run a wet kit or run the risk of running lean. I somewhat doubt that you would want to run so much nitrous on a stock V6 block that you need a wet kit, it could be, shall we say, devastating.

My understanding is that for returnless fuel system like in the OP car, that a wet kit would be better? Less chance of run lean?

I think the key, regardless of which way you go is to get the car on the dyno and double check the A/F... and to start with a smaller shot... learn to walk before your run! LOL!

BTW.. the new V6 loves the juice! LOL! We just moved up to the 125HP shot... Only got only 2 passes at the track with it this weekend... track was rather slippery... but the motor ran strong! LOL! With the

125 shot the number are 286RWHP/446RWTQ....

Sounds really great John. What brand/Unit is it? Thanks, Nick

I'm running the Zex kit... it's labeled as for the GT but works perfectly in the V6...

The problem *I* always had with the average wet kit is the injection of fuel into the upper intake plenum where it does not belong.

Yep, I undestand that... I've seen all the videos of guy experiencing the dreaded Nitrous Backfire Syndrome.... I watch them very closely... Typical thing I notice is:

1) They are manual trannys. I have an automatic which in general I believe is safer. On a manual you run the risk of bogging the motor (good reason to put in a window switch!) You can't bog an automatic. 2) Perhaps not WOT. The 05+ are of course fly by wire. My Zex kit has an electronic TPS switch that hooks to the cars TPS... So I know I only spray at WOT... (which BTW is at 82% of the pedal travel... ??? LOL)

So while my stomach turns watching those backfires.... I do feel pretty confident in my setup... So far so good! Knock on wood!

Wrong. Try a big motor with lotsa torque and a low RPM stall. Those bog horribly unless you have the idle turned WAY up. I know 'cuz I have that problem currently. 400 CID stroker Windsor with a stock 1000 rpm stall and

3.70's in the rear. This thing SUCKS when it's cold out or if I haven't worked out my right leg lately to try and hold down the break pedal at stoplights. I need at LEAST a 2000 rpm stall.

Bone stock FMX. It's right around 1000 rpm stall. My next move is to put in a 2-2.5k stall with a shift kit and all new seals.
