direct port kit is to much for a stock engine because the lowest shot is 100. if you go with the direct port kit it will go down to 25 shot per cylinder. 25x4=100 shot. You be fine with a single fogger kit.

he aint called richie nitrous for nothing. he's running a 75hp shot. but listen to the man. he knows what he's talking about. theres a thread up here about tuning for nitrous. you dont need to get a chipped ECU for it. all you need to do is make sure your motor is up to par. new plugs(step 2 colder plugss. NGK). and i THINK you have to retard the timing. i THINK. but dont listen to me on that one. someone correct me if im wrong.

i plan on running at least a 50hp shot. id rather do that than boost. less money and less stuff needed for tuning. cant wait for tax season. lord it is taking too long.
at what hp shot do you have to start retarding your timing Richie?

1st before you do anything dealing with nitrous, ANYTHING AT ALL, make sure you have your tune up done. new plugs(make sure if your going to get the step 2 colder plugs get them then.), new wires, change your oil, all that other good stuff to make sure you dont mess up nothing.

and this guy says step 2 and retard 3 degrees:Retard your ignition timing by 3 degrees, pick up an ignition, colder plugs, spark plug wires, and look into getting a stronger clutch because your stock one will be slipping very badly. If you find that you are running lean or rich pick up a fuel pressure regulator. If you are running a direct port kit, then you can pick up an Apexi VAFC to control your fuel map.
smoke tires, not drugs.
