WTB old ZR-1 NOS kit...

[Paul in VA]

Hi All:

This appears to be a wonderful ZR-1 solution; keep the ZR-1 with minor mods and turn on the juice when the extra kick is needed.

Apparently NOS offered a ZR-1 specific Dry Nitrous Oxide kit that would key the Nitrous injection to our secondarys. If anyone may have a kit sitting around, please let me know.

JEG's may have the kit in stock Paul.

That was a most excellent thought... unfortunately...

I wanted one of these kits in 2006 and couldn't find one. I called NOS and they told me the kit was discontinued years earlier because it had never been a good seller. A company that made one of the pieces in the kit was out of business and NOS had no interest in trying to put together one kit for me. They recommended a custom system with hard lines to foggers for each cylinder, which was way beyond what I was looking to do. A good used system looks like the only way to go, if you can find one.

Paul,

Might be worth sending an email to Kurt White. He might have a used system....

To each his own, but I have never understood the attraction to NOS. These cars are not ricers. Save your money go to a good driving school and then go have some fun driving the car after you have learned how to do it correctly. Or headers, exhaust, heads and cams. Using NOS seems like false performance to me. Its like putting a bandaid on a gash. It only works for a short time. Just my opinion, hope you find what you want Paul. I would much rather put the NOS money towards real performance improvements that last all the while you are driving the car.

It sounds like you have never owned a NOS car before.
I don't understand the whole ricer comment, N20 has been around way longer then imports. The thought of having a simple way to up the output over a 100hp at a flick of the switch,perfect. A stock LT5 purring like a kitten, then hit the button and giving my C6 Z06 a bitch slap. Ain't nothing better then N20 for that. Yes, you can spend over $25k for a basic stroker and have power all the time, but you only need it for 5-10 second blast and it's over. The LT5 goes back to stock gentleman's Corvette the best of both worlds.

I know this thread is a couple months old now, but I would like to add that I too am looking for a little extra kick in the pants for a minimal $$. I have installed a couple Nitrous Express EFI kits in trucks, they are super easy to install. They are adjustable from 50 to 150 and the only modification needed is a hole drilled in the air cleaner duct. If you put a window switch to control the rpm's that the juice comes on and a WOT switch and keep it under 100 horses I see no need for concern. These engines can handle that easily...best of all you have only spent 600 bucks...it would take 10x that to get 100 horses through headers, exhaust, camshafts...For someone who is going to take 6 months to go through a bottle then this is ideal, if you are drag racing every weekend...might want to think about the other modifications. You can put one of these in your car in an afternoon. Engines are all about air...the more they can get in, the more power they can make. Nitrous has its own oxygen, so it's like a blow torch...instant power...just be careful with it.
