nitrous question
have 05 ram 5.7 hemi , running nos wet kit, 75 shot , have NGK 4306 plugs gapped at .45, would like to know if a 100 shot would be ok, and what kind of pistons this thing has . thanks .dan also have 55k on motor
What plugs are recommended for your truck? You should go at least 1 step colder than what is recomended. And I wouldn't gap them more than .35. .45 seems a little much. 100 shot should be fine. Nitrous is hard on a motor no matter what, but as long as you do it properly you shouldn't have any problems. Especially with such low miles.
You don't really get any power from the alchohol injection alone. The benefit is it drastically cools the combustion chamber temps, allowing you to advance timing. On a forced induction motor this helps a lot because you normally have to retard a lot of timing to supress detonation and spark knock. Which robs a lot of power. With the alky injection you hardly have to retard any at all, gaining back a lot of that lost power. So your HP /per PSI ratio increases quite a bit.
