If the stringers are solid you should be fine. I would be more concerned with running a boat with 1/4 stringers in big water, let alone with soggy 1/4 stringers in big water.

 

I have a very mild 460, I was wondering if a 75 or 100 shot wet system would be ok. Brand new motor.

 

Ditto to what Dan wrote. A 100-125 shot should be pretty easy on the engine. My first Nos system was a 125-150 shot it never hurt anything.

Just my opinion but a 75hp or even 100hp doesn't even feel like much. What do others think?

 

When I ran a 100 hp shot it was good for 6 mph. That's a pretty good gain in jetboat land. Also very safe. Almost impossible to blow anything up. No fancy timing controls required etc.

Only running a 150 now. Still no timing controls, and pretty darned safe. The 150 is good for 7-8 mph consistently.

7-8 mph gain for approximately $400 is a pretty good investment/upgrade in my book. Not too many other things that would net you the same gain for that amount of money.

The only down side is laying down $60+ every time you need to fill a bottle.

 

Thanks Squirtcha,

 

I had a family member give me a complete pro shot fogger system that I will be putting on the boat this summer, As this kit was going to go into a car I recived the bottel blanket and heater. I'm sure the heater is not needed how about the blanket? Does it help with temp, or just throw a wet towel on there if needed. If not needed I will be selling these, let me know if someone wants them. Thanks for the info.

I'm was wondering that also, I would mount the bottle under the bow on a river boat, outa the sun.

 

I'm throwin a 250 shot on my mildly built 468. Gonna see if what happens.

 

Thanks, my stringers are solid and I was thinking 150 or 200 shot might be be fun to play with.

 

Keep in mind that 200 is where she starts getting a little dicey. Make a misake there and you could be scattering some parts. Timing controls will be a necessity raising the ante for buy in. Also should be running better fuels (not pump gas anymore).

All reasons why I stick with the 150 shot.

 

Yea, I'm setting up a dedicated fuel system to run some 110 or so for the nitrous. I'm working on getting some sort if timing retard/ignition as well.

 

Thanks for the info Squirtcha, I think all I need to do to my motor is some forged pistions.

 

Are you guys running WOT switch on the carb? or steering wheel button.

 

I'm gonna run both, in series to the solenoids. That way even if I hit the steering wheel button, it won't activate unless the WOT switch is triggered, and if I let off the throttle and still have the button pushed, it'll shut off the n20 when the WOT switch isn't triggered anymore.

 

Very nice.....

 

Wet.

When it was a 100 hp system a single plate.

Now with the 150 system it's dual plates on a tunnelram.

I don't know anybody that's running a dry system on a boat. It kinda needs to be fuel injected to be running a dry system.

Dry
In a dry nitrous system, extra fuel required is introduced through the fuel injectors, keeping the manifold dry of fuel. This property is what gives the dry system its name. Fuel flow can be increased either by increasing the pressure in the fuel injection system, or by modifying the vehicle's computer to increase the time the fuel injectors remain open during the engine cycle. This is typically done by spraying nitrous past the mass airflow sensor (MAF), which then sends a signal to the vehicle's computer telling it that it sees colder denser air, and that more fuel is needed. This is typically not an exact method of adding fuel. Once additional fuel has been introduced, it can burn with the extra oxygen provided by the nitrous, providing additional power.
