Default Nitrous oxide?

Screwwed around and got a wet kit on a whim from a friend who bought it and the day it was delivered he got into a wreck and had to put his mustang in the shop so I got it for cheap, on a stock engine, stock manifold would fuel pooling be an issue in the kegger? I only plan on running a 75 shot tops (I just don't feel that a 50 shot would be noticeable) should I just wire the 75 shot as a dry kit? Or do the full wet kit?

Also side question, I replaced my pcv valve today (along with my alternator) and the pcv valve rattled like the spring was shot or missing lol and it was gummed up. Y'all think that could have been where my smoke had come from that one time because I haven't seen it sense and there's no oil puddles in the plenum

PCV should rattle. If it doesn't rattle, that's when you replace it. Cheap enough to replace though.

I wonder how nitrous oxide will effect the pcm/fuel delivery?

New one dosent rattle but it opened when you blow through it. The old one was opening too easy and allowing it to suck oil through I'm guessing

Sarcasm?

I was wondering about the fuel delivery too, not sure how fast the intake air temp sensor could pick up the change and how fast the pcm would change the fuel tables

Almost immediately. Nitrous will cool the incoming air charge a bit, but, given the heat the manifold retains...... probably not going to be a huge difference. The biggest thing is keeping the mixture ratio right. (nitrous introduces a LOT more oxygen.) Get it wrong, and you can blow holes in your pistons in a hot second.....

I am really not a fan of nitrous......

I normally run it to spool a big turbo but even a smaller shot would help the truck in the passing lane. I have some stuff left over from some builds so if it comes down to it I can run a 25 dry and a 50 wet, allow it to run the wet and if I need more run the dry or trigger one before the other (25 dry then 50 wet) so there isn't that much of a shock to the engine

Ah, nitrous, and turbos, go very nicely together. (but, I still don't like nitrous. )

A wideband O2 sensor might be a good plan here.....

I actually have a couple wideband o2s sitting in the shop. I want to get a cold air intake put on the truck first because I'm gonna put the fogger in the tube. But then again I want to build my own intake to run a custom throttle body hat, to run a huge intake tube to a huge filter too but I'll see what's already made out there
