Not an answer to your question but, with the hypertech, nitrous isn't going to help much. I doubt it is fueling hard enough for nitrous to do anything. You gotta have fuel to burn to see much improvement. Take that money and spend it on a good EFI Live tune, then you will probably have more power all the time.

Not to mention the truck will run better and you can add a turbo brake. Nitrous is for racing not DD. Get yourself a set of tunes form a reputable tuner and you will be much happier with the end result...

Thank you to all who posted in this thread. Just read all 9 pages and I will be buying some nitrous stuff so for the single cab. I want to limit myself at the solenoid, so I will be using a .063 NX noid. I want to start small (.030 range) and see where it gets me and go from there.:thumb:

Quick update,

got my wiring issues figured out on the Zex nitrous kit(WOT TPS/Master Arm)

Running the truck around on 2000Us on 100% injectors, and a 150shot. Cleans up the smoke nicely. :thumb: Started small with a .026 jet and worked my way up.

Based on smoke output, I will be increasing the fuel and the jet size to compensate.

Track next weekend

Ended up gaining 8mph on a .076 jet. Cleaned up most of the smoke, still need a bigger jet. I also need a lock up box asap. I flip the spray when the converter locks, top of 3rd, so im not gaining as much ET as I want, but gaining MPH. Lots learned today. Got booted for no cage again, so wont be out till after the new year with a cage in the truck.

Instead of starting a new thread I figured I would just ask my questions in this one, there is a lot of good info in here already.

Im looking into running a small shot on my stock motor.

http://www.jegs.com/i/ZEX-Nitrous/243/82028/10002/-1

They have another NOS brand kit that looks similar but ive heard good reviews on ZEX

that is the kit I am looking at right now, Am I in the ball park of what is needed? Id just run a momentary switch so I can hit it exactly when I want.

I talked to my tuner and he said no need to pull timing back on diesels which ive heard mixed opinions on.
