yeah I think it would be cool to use on a dyno or drag race just feel it might be a little much in a sled pull.

A very on target analogy.

Pretty awesome analogy!! and right on!

What I dont get is that some of you are mentioning low end spool. I already bought a NOS kit from someone on here a while back and am waiting for it now. Anyhow, my problem with the 62/71/13ss is that when I punch it from a dead stop for example, it has some really long lag times with tons of smoke, at least compared to stock. Well I 've also heard that you dont want to spray until you are decently in the rpm range and at a certain amount of boost...say 20+? How will this help my 0-20psi? Is it safe to spray during that time or not? I dont have any troubles once it lite's, but I do before hand?

Please elaborate and explain?

I have my spray set up with a TPS switch thats starts spraying once I go 100% throttle. It sprays from 0 PSI until 25 PSI. I only do this because I dont have studs yet and I dont want to blow the lid off. I doubt I would but I want to do the studs when I want to, not because I have to.

I have not really heard of problems spraying down low, like 1200RPM or so. With gassers its hard on them because of the huge torque rise and it can scatter parts. Thats only because Cummins doesnt make their engines. I have engaged my N2O several times at 1k or so launching and had no issues yet.

It depends on how big of a hit you are using. If you are running a small get, you will notice you can hit it at idle and it'll make the motor run a little rough, but not kill it. If this is the size you use, you can hit it with no boost and cause no problems.

I should have added that. I forget that you are running a 1/2in hose before the CAC and a 1/4 in hose into the intake. How much do you run? 8-10 Lbs per min?

I sprayed some into the intake once (2 sec burst) without the engine running. It cranked a long time and when it did light there was a lot of white smoke. I thought that was a little weird. The added oxygen should not have put out the fire. What was all that about?

So how do you set it to spray up until 25psi like you mentioned? Is an additional switch required?

I havent been able to find any boost regulating switch on the NOS website? Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks,
Coolingmist has pressure switches that are adjustable (just not sure if they can turn back off at a certain pressure?). Their standard water/meth controller can do any start and stop pressures that you want though.

You can use a progressive controller to do it. The cheap way of doing it with 2 hobbs. You can get hobbs that are normally closed or normally open. (you'll need one of each). On the ground side, use a normally closed hobbs. On the positive side, use a normally open hobbs. This way at low boost it will turn on. When you reach the setting of the normall closed, it will open the circuit and shut off the nitrous.
