preparing for NOS setup

Put nitrous on it. Most of the kits are pretty safe just don't put to much through it. I never had a problem with mine with a nos set up.

Wet Kit for sure, much more effective and alot safer then running a dry kit....

a nice set of bottle brackets and a bottle heater :D

Then go have some fun :thumbup:

someone doesnt know their nitrous very well if they think a WET shot is safer then a dry shot :nono:

it is. if you know what your doing a wet kit is alot safer than a dry kit. a dry kit is for somebody who dont know what they are doing. that is why you can hit alot with a wet kit and only hit 200 or so with a dry kit.

Wet shot is more stable compared to some half ass dry shot. Let me guess next time your going to say the NOSzle kit is not effective whatsoever

why put nitrous on a car if your not going to use it the whole time? and if you drive it right you will never see less than 3000rpms in the 1/4mile.

you make up your et in the first 60ft. why wouldnt you use it off the line? only reason you shouldnt is if your car dont hook. but if you dont use it then your just picking up mph, last time i checked et wins races not mph.

:hmm:

I think I'm going to give it a try :thumbup:

No wonder my ET is crap :shake:

Safer Is What I was stressing with this post....and with solenoid and feed line upgrades guys have been spraying 400 shots with these kits

Borrowed this from Corral

Probably the safest feature of any dry kit is that you simply do not mess with raw fuel. Instead of running aftermarket fuel lines you let the OEM fuel system handle the vital job of injecting fuel. There is no need to tap into your fuel system for anything other than a place to mount your fuel pressure switch; although a fuel pressure guage you can see from your seat is a great idea. There is no need to worry about a fuel solenoid malfunction causing your nitrous injection to go lean, or worse yet activate without the nitrous causing a fuel puddle in your manifold. As a personal experience, the latter example burnt one of my cars to the ground and is what initially drew me to dry nitrous injection.

Because the nitrous regulator and the main nitrous feed nozzle are both fed from the same bottle, yet another benefit of this kit is realized. As your bottle pressure decreases the amount of fuel injected decreases proportionately to the amount of nitrous injected. Regardless of what Zex nitrous claims, this makes the NOS dry kit the first system to "tune itself" based on bottle pressure. Since its début a few years ago, many people have disasembled the lavender "control unit" to the Zex dry system and find nothing more than a single nitrous solenoid attached to a nitrous distribution block. As the nitrous block is put under pressure, a non-adjustable bleed hole feeds nitrous to your fuel pressure regulator. By using the same basic principals of the NOS-05115 kit Zex has simply placed a much more primitive system in a dressier self contained package. Aside from the inability to tune the fuel pressure with this kit, there are two more major draw backs with this system. Since the Zex system lacks a nitrous regulator like NOS kit uses, the initial fuel pressure spike is very high and can damage your stock fuel system. Initial pressure spikes as high as 125 PSI have been measured with this kit. The worst feature of this kit, and perhaps the most ironic as Zex claims to be "The Worlds Safest Nitrous System" is the lack of a pressure safety switch. Without this switch in place, as soon as the nitrous pressure is sent to your fuel pressure regulator it is simultaneously released through the nozzle into your intake. There is no delay for the fuel pressure to rise, or confirmation that the fuel pressure has risen to safe levels. The nitrous oxide is just injected into your intake tract on blind faith.

Since the introduction of the 5115 kit, it has gone from a simple 75 HP pick me up to a fully adjustable 75-150 HP system. The mustang crowd has been using this system for years with great results. After the principals of this kit were understood, it didn't take long for some guys to throw in larger fuel injectors and start running some really big nitrous shots. The small nitrous solenoids supplied with the kit and the tee that connects them will only support about 175 HP worth of nitrous. Upgrade your fuel injectors, nitrous solenoids and connection tee and you are knocking on 200 HP with proper jetting. The -3 nitrous nozzle line, the nitrous nozzle itself and even the -4 feed lines start standing in the way of power production shortly there after, but with modifications or upgrades, the sky is the limit with this kit. On the west coast a select few were throwing huge injectors on their cars with these hybrid kits and making insane power. Mike Nelson recalls customers using this method to make so much power that they were literally tearing the hides off their tires at 50 MPH in 4th gear on the highway with their daily driven street Mustangs. It is no surprise that this is the method Mike suggested to NMRA Real Street competitor Bruce Hemminger when he called Mike for advice after getting frustrated from nitrous backfires with his wet setup. This setup soon proved to be the method for reliable big nitrous shots through a single nozzle and all other nitrous competitors in this class soon followed suit. Since the late 80's methods of altering the stock mustang computer have came a long way. Instead of using the trusty NOS nitrous regulator to increase fuel pressure, many racers now rely on programming to increase the injector pulse width under nitrous use with these huge kits. This has been so successful that Anderson Ford Motorsport now markets dry kits capable of over 400 HP using this method with their PMS engine management.

It is important to note the drawbacks of this kit , even though they are few and far between. Since the kit increases fuel pressure to to add more fuel, some people have had the rubber line that connects the two fuel rails together rupture under this pressure. This phenomenon seems to be exception rather than the norm. The biggest drawback with a dry system is the fuel and nitrous mixture itself. Since stock fuel injectors with elevated pressure are used to supply the fuel, the ammount of fuel is nearly identical from cylinder to cylinder. EFI intake manifolds, and ford manifolds in particular are notorious for uneven distribution of air. Since the nitrous and fuel dont combine until they are actually entering the cylinder head, this causes an uneven mixture to enter each cylinder causing some cylinders to run rich while others go slightly lean. For street applications you will not notice this and the variations will be so small that they arent worth mentioning, but on bigger shots distribution can be a problem with these kits. Dry kits also do not "hit" as hard as wet kits initially because they start rich and allow the nitrous to lean out the mixture. This can sometimes be an advantage, however, as traction will be severely limited in most instances on nitrous oxide.

The NOS-05115 dry kit has proven its worth for over a decade now. From illegal street racing folklore to nationally sanctioned events it is by far the safest, and most potent way to give your mustang nitrous injection. At home on a daily driven street car or a 650 HP race car, the principals behind this kit have been imitated time and time again. A cult icon, and a legend in the making this little NOS kit is just as popular now as when it was first released. Up to 150 HP the ultra safe kit works perfectly, and this makes it a simple and effective choice for your daily driven mustang.

Hey man just keep doing what felix and the gang on the internet tell you to and you'll be able to build a top fuel car from sticks in your garage.


Are you seriously going to argue about nitrous with a guy whos prob's sprayed a car more times than you pissed this year with some post from a nuckle head on the corral. ? Have you ever even used a wet kit or dry one for that matter to know the difference

That and if Dry kits are so much better why doesn't all the 10.5, DR, heads up, open comp, and any other competative nitrous car use a dry kit instead of a wet fogger/ plate combo?
