Yep, definitely going with colder spark plugs and putting on a new fuel filter. I am in the Tulsa area so I know all about the crappy 91 gas. I used to have another car with nitrous and would always dump some octane booster in before a night at the track.
The real track or memorial? lol, damn ricey teenagers on memorial... fun to watch them get pulled over though!
Hehe, I avoid Memorial like the plague on Friday and Saturday nights. I've run Hallet a few times and used to go to the Friday night drags in my younger years. Haven't been out to the drags in years. Maybe I should take my wife's C350 out some time. :twisted:
Re: Nitrous on the E-tec 1.6
35-40 shot of WET is really safe. I'd have at least basic mods before bothering with it though. I'd feel bad for any engine getting nitrous while it's still choked up.
You could go with a dry setup and a piggy back unit. I personally like that idea better but I don't really know all that much about nitrous. Then again with basic mods a piggy back only gets 1-2whp on the 2.0 Dtech motors cause our ECU is very adaptive so I'm not sure it would be worth it....not really sure what your guys ECUs are like.

Re: Nitrous on the E-tec 1.6
oh, you have one too? lol
Re: Nitrous on the E-tec 1.6
Oh and make sure you have at least a catback exhaust. Don't want your valves glowing in the dark because the gas couldnt get out fast enough
Re: Nitrous on the E-tec 1.6
just run a wet shot thats all you need to worry about...a small wet shot wont be an issue cuz you wont need to worry about too much hp or needing fuel mods.
