The racing on that show is pretty good though. Some of those cars are insanely fast.

I don't mean to offend you, but if you don't know the answer to this question, you have no business running nitrous. If you don't know what you're doing, it's very easy to pop an engine when running nitrous. There is no tuning support for nitrous on these cars, and trust me when I tell you that you don't want your car to be the test mule for a 991 nitrous tune.

Louisiana you say?

The heart & soul of a 911 & "Winning By Design" ethos- great balance in the corners - low center of gravity - & a machine that will run in all conditions.

Transfer that thought to the street over a Corvette. I owned a C5 Vette & @ 135 MPH you would get a pretty good amount of float & loss of steering. @ Speed in the 911 I haven't found that same tendency to float. Being able to place the car at any spot.

If you wanted something that was really fast I'd look at a PDK 911 Turbo & upgrade the ecu, exhaust, turbos. Not sure how much you can tune the new engines. 996 metzger easily 1000hp.

Born and raised! I agree with you, the NA 911 wasn't build to be a street racing/drag racing car. The 911 turbo is more up that alley.

For the price of even the most basic 911, there are plenty of cars you can have that will launch your buttocks from 0-150+ mph much more effectively. I think *most* people who buy these cars realize that and don't care. I personally bought the car for the decent power/weight ratio coupled with steering feel and handling that is second to no other potential daily driver.

100% concur. Good way to blow a lot of money, modding something like this (and risk to engine). But hey, not my money ....

Nice i"m in Mandeville.

If you do the mod, which I pray you do, I know a outfit in Oakland that add to the charm with an mother mod that is right up your alley. It's a unique one that wa s featured on the news. Just ask for Bubb Rubb or Lil' Sis.

Love Bub Rubb! He's right up there with Sweet Brown.

Absolutely not. The wet kits deliver fuel directly, not through the hokey cool the maf setup on dry kits. No freezing mafs either.

If I wanted to run nitrous it would be a direct port wet kit. Not sure how well that works with dfi motors though

Slantnose!

Well, best I can tell it is.
There's no way to tap into the high pressure fuel line with 1000+ psi and can't imagine anyone wanting to tap + drill the intakes, etc., plus you'd probably have to then get a tune or piggyback controller...
...the dry system offers a moderate increase and safe(ish) way to add nitrous realistically.

Quadcammer

dry kits generally work ok for a 50 shot or so. I ran one back on my mustang and it was finicky.

Running a wet kit on a dfi would be a challenge and may require a separate fuel line and pump.

I just don't like the enrichment method of the dry kits.

Chubby Racer

Wet is ALWAYS safer. With a dry kit you're adding nitrous, and hoping the ECU gives you enough fuel to not lean out. With a Wet kit you're adding nitrous AND adding enough fuel not to lean out.


That being said, OP: 75hp is a actually a lot of nitrous. You're thinking that you'd "just" do a 75 shot is way off base. This isn't a mustang that has forged pistons and rods stock. All the NA 3.8s have lightweight cast items.

OP - go back to "trolling" m3forum.
