nitrous kit
Hi
I am thinking of adding a nitrous kit to my 5.0. Do you need a special tune for it? Thanks Jack |
If you need to ask that question, I wouldn't recommend purchasing a nitrous kit for your car.

i was looking at this kit NITROUS OUTLET PLATE HARDLINE SYSTEM - S197 - 5.0 https://lmr.com/item/NO-001014510/20...te-Nitrous-Kit |
i have done some research and it looks like you need a tune that pulls 3 or 4 degrees of timing. so my new question is how much will that effect the car when i am not on the bottle?

it also depends on how big of a shot of nitrous you running. Example if you were to run a 50 shot you could run stock plugs and tune because these car automatically pull 2 degrees of timing now with a 100 shot and up you will need a tune and plugs for sure. |
i would like to run 150 shot

you have to get with some of the well known tuners they will be able to set you up

So, let me get this straight...you are thinking about adding 150 horse to your car and asking if you need to tune for that? Ummm...yeah, definitely.

Recommend you focus your attention on choosing a tuner you can trust and buy the kit the tuner recommends. Tuning for nitrous is dead easy, no part throttle tables to mess with, it's pretty much a straight WOT tune. That said, tuning any car with variable cam timing that runs in closed loop all the time needs to be done by someone knowledgeable on these motors and nitrous specifically. Nitrous can suck you in with a relatively low entry cost but, it can get expensive fast.
That said, nothing touches nitrous for adding power, until you get to stratospheric levels of HP, like 1000+. Why? because it's pretty much a 100% conversion of the power adders input into extra power, no pumping losses or hp used to drive a system, like a supercharger. The blast of torque from N2O is spectacular. It can be fiddly and filling bottles does get old fast, it's pretty much useless on the street. |
