Need nos info

Anyone know about the new tnt dynotmite or aka "power ring" nos kit?

(edited yall happy now? )

Chevy High Performance has an article on this... It was on a GMPP Crate LS1 with 78mm throttle body and Hooker LT headers. They make these rings to fit any throttle body you may have, so just let them know your configuration. From the looks of it it bolts right up, no hassles, it has a bracket for the Nitrous and Fuel pump by the manifold. And the ring has two injectors, both injectors mix the fuel and nitrous together almost completely to decrease the chance of detonation and safety etc. etc. And the jet fittings are so simple to use. They have a card with a chart for 75HP 100HP or 150HP for example, with the fuel and nitrous jet ports you need to use for each one to plug into your nozzle. And the bottle that comes with has a pressure gauge right on it with a NHRA approved blow-down tube to vent the nitrous outside the vehicle. But for the numbers....their baseline was
HP/Torque 399/402@5400/4900 their
75HP was 479/535@5100/4100 their
100HP was 504/608@4500/4300 and their
150HP was 564/633@4700/4600

And as for the cost...799 bucks for LS1/LS6 Part Number F-1003-10 at www.texasnitroustechnology.com

Oh they also tested it with the Fuel Air Spark Technology's computer chip thing www.fuelairspark.com and colder Denso Iridium (IQ31) plugs and 5 gallons of high octane fuel from Rocket Brand Fuels

as for myself, I know nothing about Nitrous so I'm not going to pretend to and have a chance to hurt my engine. But if I got the kit I would probably stick with the 75 shot, maybe the 150 shot for just one run down the track for shits and giggles. But I think you can get bigger shots too, you can get a shot from 25HP up to 250HP so good luck to ya'all that can afford it

see that man has it all covered. i think we did a set up like that on that mecham we have at the shop, i need to check that out.

[drvngstorm05]

wow those tnt setups are priced very good... i may have to look at those instead of the other kits they have out there... when i get the cash i wanna put a 150shot on my lt1... more power

[Matt365]

so is the nos release button or throttle activated?

and is this a wet or dry kit.
(sry in a nos newbie)

[philly rs]

well u can have it set to how u want it as far as it being activated... i myself have a msd window switch that tells the pc when the car is at open throttle and at what rpms to spray and when to stop...fail safe, im telling u this is the best setup i love it

[camaroguy26]

does that just plug into the PCM somewhere? And is it already preset for the best performance? Because I would have no idea when to spray it and for how long. Is it tuneable for custimization also?

[drvngstorm05]

philly explained this to me earlier... from what i understand, with the msd window switch, you arm the system with a switch, and when you hit WOT the window switch will spray the nitrous during a certain rpm range... like say 3500-6200 rpms... and it only sprays if the system is armed and you are WOT... that window switch is better than say a push button system... because with a push button you could spray too long and push the rpms too high (because rpms will go up faster than normal if you're spraying, obviously) and damage the engine... this window switch won't spray past a certain rpm no matter what, which will help you keep from damaging something... plus you probably won't want too early because of traction loss and you could hurt something at low speeds (like busting the rear-end)

[drvngstorm05]

and yes, it is customizable, you set the rpms that you want to spray and it won't spray at any other time

Before even considering nitrous, you may wan't to build your engine up first. There's no way an internally stock 3.4 will last long on nitrous unless it's been built to handle the added power.

[camaroguy26]

my LS1 can handle it though Just as long as I don't overuse it. They've run tests with 150 HP setup and everything has worked great until they "forgot" to let go of the button lol. I still wouldn't do that though, 75 would be my highest for fun, 100 for drags without rebuilding the engine to handle it. I doubt I'll get this stuff anyways.

STOP SAYING NOS!

NOS is new original [supplies?], or nitorus oxide systems... which is a specific company, and TNT, etc. are different. You are askign about nitrous oxide... or nitrous for short... not NOS...

[/rant]

[drvngstorm05]

hahaha... i've got a video of a guy w/ a stock block ls1 that run's a 200 shot day in and day out... no problems at all. your ls1 can handle more than you think

as for me, philly told me the rule of thumb is 20hp for cylinder, which is 160hp, so i'm want to run a 150 shot on my lt1... i can't wait

Good to know, maybe I'll start saving for this power ring, I'd rather have a supercharger but that's 6 grand, I'll use the 5 grand to rebuild my engine and suspension/chassis then the other 1000 to get that kit Maybe i'll just start with the kit hehe

[drvngstorm05]

well if you have AIM or something i could send you that video so you can check it out yourself... the car is sick, you've probably seen it... its the camaro in the video circulating around beating a ford gt
