This works fine for relatively small shots - anything bigger and you're into upgrading injectors and or fuel pump, not to mention recalibrating the ECU.
You are correct, the fuel system is stock, the car's computer will sense the extra O2 and supply more fuel to compensate. For this reason I wouldnt shoot anything more than my 60 shot unless it was wet. The system I have is wet, but I cannot find a decent way to tap a fuel supply at the moment so I am running it dry. I am going to pull the plugs out soon and see if they look good for nitrous or not. I will probably just pick up a set of colder plugs anyways to be safe. I will be running 93 octane pump gas. Stock ignition timing, stock fuel system.

lol, I knew this would come up. I couldn't find an avatar that said GOT NOS.. anyways the only difference is the brand. People have personal opinions on quality of different brands, but nitrous is nitrous no matter what company name is on the bottle.

hahaha, what he said

you dont want a window switch. with the extra amount of air moving through the system, a lot of the time the engine will take a little while to drop RPMs enough to get off teh bottle if even ever - we had a vette one time at the speed merchant. when teh nitrous kicked in, it wouldnt shut off til the bottle was closed, or the system dearmed. it was kinda scary actually. run a moment switch like you have, or find a throttle based microswitch, you can run that off of your throttle body instead of the throttle pedal itself.

you'll be able to sync the cameras. there will be a point you can base off of Im sure. Just be careful with the outside mounting.

I thinl one of the best outside mounts is on the side of the car. but if you've seen getaway in stockholm. you've yprobably seen their camera get distroyed by dibre from the road. don't think you'd have to worry about that thought.

I do have a microswitch, but I didn't use it because 1. its not easy to hide. 2. the ralliart has throttle-by-wire.. its electronic throttle, which is mounted in the front of the engine bay near the headlight. Too much wire to F with. I think eventually I will go with an electronic version of WOT switch.. some probe to sense the voltage at WOT instead of a manual microswitch.

Actually I meant outside as in someone standing next to the track with a camera.. I wouldnt trust mounting it to the car, I'd kill the camera for sure.

I dont know much about NOS but how do you plan on shifting gears? I mean if you hit the button with your left hand and steer with the right when do you shift with out killing yourself. I like the setup but just curious as to how it works. Never had any experience with NOS.

Just a guess but I think he can hold the "button" with his left and still hold it straight going down the 1/4. It's not like anyone's crazy enough to spray in the middle of a corner anyways guys. At least not more than once!
