the spray..

is this potentially the easy route to 400rwhp without injectors and/or big oil?
I read an article on the zex kit in the new diesel power...the chip the used gave them like 40 hp.....with jody tuning I would expect much better results.....what doyou guys think?

I personally would not run nitrous unless i had injectors and needed to clean up the smoke. Too much nitrous and not enough fuel = cracked cylinders.

I think you are better off with propane. Propane is cheaper and easier to come by. If you add anything like propane or NOX you will have to get new tunes from jody or you will blow your engine.

I can't imagine that could happen if you are only using it for quick shots like you would be with a NOX system.

I would go with the pane also, for some reason to me nitrous is risky business.

No one is going to mention Water/meth injection, extra boost and lower EGT's.

From what I read in the article is if you put too much nos it will quench the combustion, which makes sense all nos is is liquid oxygen. Also someone posted about having plenty of fuel/smoke that's what the nos is ther to help combustion so that more fuel gets used and less goes out the tailpipe in the form of a black cloud.

You need more air, not nos... You want to use the power all the time or just 15 sec at the track... Get a turbo, maybe some water-meth. Nos is great for the track but thats its ONLY use...

Did you build your own water injection kit? $400 for a pump, a tank, and a nozzle, seems REDICULOUS

There is more too them then just a pump and a tank, you have a lot of damage that can be done if not sprayed right! I spent $600 for my kit... Best $600 I have spent. I could tow on my 125 setting up to and above 12,000#'s with no EGT issues... And cost me squat to fill every time...
