Well, I have heard arguments that Nitrous likes Low compression like 9:1 and i have heard that it likes higehr like 12:1. Can some one please settle this debate? I am on the side of high compression.

Thanks, Joe

 

simple fix, nitrous likes compression, big time racecars run anywhere in the range of 15:1 and still spray in the hundreds with nitrous. it makes more use of the power and optimizes the mix, and also makes the combustion take place at a higher point of efficicency

 

you're right with the high side!!! it's important to have your timing retarded enough so you wont have any detonation, and also make sure the fuel is fat enough!
too lean + timing too advanced = exh. valves turn into lil pack men !!!

 

just had a thread on this like 5 pages long. lol

 

^^ he is right....lil different reason for the disscussion though...

 

Yea but that was back and forth on here we have a done deal nitrous likes high compression if retarded correctly

 

for street cars yes you will have to come down on ignition timing, not only because of thehigher compression but also because of the nitrous, i go back 1 degree for every 50HP. to take full advantage of compression and nitrous race gas must be used. it is really the only way to ge the full effect. it would be almost like getting laid and then only getting some head.

race gas lets you run some really aggressive timing not only on the bottle but with compression as well, gains on racecars have been seen of over 100 HP witht he proper timing and race gas on the SAME motor and SAME amount of nitrous being sprayed

 

Nice euphemism man.
Good info thanks man. Also, wow i didnt expect gains of over 100hp thats pretty sweet.
