hey i was just wondering thoughts on nitrous on my application. I have a fresh rebuilt 454 full roller engine was a 454 mag. I just wondered how anyone has done it in the past and how much it helped.

I had nos on my 89 challenger v24. At the time I had nos on it the engine was pretty much a stock 454/365 Mag with a 420 camshaft in it. I used nos for a couple of seasons and it was a grin. Those boats had a pretty slippery hull so the gains were pretty good at an instant 7 to 8 MPH. It was fun however I would never do it again. I drink way to much to use it without the concern of blowing an engine.

OK, I was thinking it was only me. Why is it so easy to pound down a case of beer on the water. Before you say OH that's nothing but I'm talking by 3:00 in the afternoon. I had to switch to light beer due damage control and black outs. LOL... I finally got old enough to only watch rather than participate in all the boat launch fights also. I'm suprized there are not more home videos of such. :coolcowboy:

How much do you want to run, set it up like a car with a dry kit, high pressure fuel pump, msd ignition, great for running big pitch props, I run it with a 525 EFI with just a 125 HP (.0625 Jet) with a 36" Pitch Bravo 1 prop and 1.36 gear runs 125 MPH at 5400 RPM in my 2000 Powerquest 280 Silencer, runs perfect, superchargers over-heat engines and engine compartments, and also push RPM's over the torque band, torque push the prop not horsepower.

Your running 125mph in a powerquest with stock 525's with a a shot of NOS? Sounds like one hell of a boat...tell us more. Do ya got any video of you hitting the juice? Your right at 8% slip that an outstanding #. Last but not least..... Now that you have gone 125 do you feel your " quest for power" is over?

How are you running a 125hp hit with a DRY kit on an engine with NO mass air meter? I've been using nitrous on injected car engines longer than I can remember so I'd love to hear how your doing that.

Cigboat, your easiest way to do it is to run a WET kit with a nozzle similar to Nitrous Express' Shark nozzle. I'd watch your plugs carefully to make sure no cylinders are leaning out. The way your intakes are designed to only flow air and where the nozzle will be located, some cylinders will see more extra fuel/nitrous than the others. Most importantly, run a fuel pressure safety switch to shut down the squeeze incase your fuel pumps have trouble keep up with demand.
