Do you guys think the ctock eco could handle it?? I really dont think there would be aprob but i had a bad experience once with Nitrous on my old GP... i admit it was my fault (put jet behind throttle body and blew out the last 2 cylinders) I had a 100 shot on it, then moved the jet behind the TB and it blew it.
I dont think i'd have a prob with 6psi and a 35 wet shot, what about everyone else?

we think very much alike 35 shot should do nicely and im considering it down the road also

I would love for you to be the guinea pig --- If I had the RSM kit I would do it
Heh last time i was a guinne pig i ended up blowing my engine (about 2 years ago in the ClubGP.com 88-96 Forum, i was the guinne pig for putting a 100 wet shot on my 3100v6, worked fine till i tried moving the jet behind the throttle body and it went boom on the first spray...
Ive done my lab rat testing on my self enough, someone elses turn lol.

I reckon the stock engine can handle it coz I have a RSM SC Stage 1 + NOS kit lined up for an install sometime in July.
Are you running the Stage 1 with any Nitrous at all?
What did RSM say about it?

Love that car!!!!!
NO2 is such a cheap power adder....until something goes wrong.
I would do it to my own car....but be prepared for the consequences.
well it should be fairly safe i mean the kit isnt putting out anywhere close to 200whp more than likely so it would still be under 250whp which is on the border line

Im really considering it, but i will definetly be upgrading my fuel pump first... i think the stock one is started to have trouble keeping up, "lean pops" are becoming more common for me. I wont touch a dry kit so i doubt my fuel pump will be able to hold up to the already added fuel beeing dumped, AND a wet shot.

Only thing, yea i searched but couldnt find anything answering me exactly...
Would i put the jet on the intake side or the charge pipe?? I didnt think it would be a good idea on the charge pipe because of the boost PSI pressing back against the incoming fuel, but then again the nitrous atomizes the fuel so maybe the boost wouldnt affect it??? Then i hear the mixture would be hell on the S/C blades, someone please alaborate on this subject for me.

Hey Ben what about upgrading to the stage Two kit?Save you having to fill all those NO2 tanks.
Thats Him Officer The WICKED One.
That was another option, But i cant afford to have my car down while i send out the head to have it milled
. I dunno.

uhhh thats a big no no on the wet kit there buddy. Wet kits can cause nitrous backfires. If you have just one, you might destroy your nice expensive vortech supercharger. Just use a dry shot.

My understanding is the Vortech SC can handle a wet shot, though the GM SC cannot. I believe the Vortech even has a purpose inlet for the shot. RSM are supplying me with a NOS kit they utilize with their superchargers - must confirm if its wet or dry.

i dont think your getting it, do you know what a nitrous backfire is? Im not talkinga bout gasoline corroding the teflon on the blades. Im talking about gasoline puddling in your intake and igniting. Thus creating a nice explosion inside your intake manifold. This will in turn send a pressure wave back to the supercharger and can possibly destroy it.

backfire on a 35 shot using the correct fuel jet would be unlikely
actually theres a port on the vortech its a small screw near where the charge pipe couple would be which goes to the TB

Gasoline puddling is something to avoid anyway so lets assume this has been considered and is not an issue. Question I have and what I think Ben was getting at: can the stock engine handle the power surge brought on by a 35 shot. A 25 shot is the max GM recommend on a stock engine.

i say go for it! ive been stuck between running a small 25 dry shot or a allky injection kit on my car.
