LT1 Nitrous Kit on TBI
I have recently come across a fogger style lt1 wet nitrous kit for a very good price. From what I have gathered from searching:
1. the fogger nozzle will not work even if screwed into the air cleaner above the tbi unit because of poor nitrous and fuel distribution.
2. since the tbi runs on lower fuel pressure than modern efi, i will need either a different fuel solenoid or a different fuel system
first, is all of this correct? second, could I simply buy a nos tbi plate to solve the injection problem? third, would it work better to change the fuel solenoid to one made for tbi fuel pressures or simply install a separate fuel system with an lt1 pump? and finally, are there any other problems I will face that I have not yet taken into account?
for the record I have a 5.7l LO5 TBI with the stock fuel system and i am looking for around a 125 shot of nitrous.
