Now that my 372 is in,,,the blower is ready to go on just gotta get my tq converter installed 1st...I have a complete nitrous outlet kit with tb plate and I was wondering if I could use both juice and boost.....Im guessing a small shot would be cool....but just fishing right now I guess.

Thanks.

Remember, youre "small shot" will double with your supercharger. I think it will be a kick @$$ combo. Cant wait to see the results.

i'd start w the smallest jets you can get and work your way up. you have a centrifugal, right, if it were a twin screw, i'd say you should definitely go direct-port and keep the blower dry.

Im hoping I can find a sweet spot in a tune that allows me to hit boost with no problems and if I want to spray it will still stay tuned in.:mrgreen:
if you have a tune that works great without nitrous. imo there is no sweet spot that will let you run optimal with and without nitrous. you might want to think about a timing retard from msd, you can use the nitrous system to activate it. this one is made for the gen 3 hemi.

re: mol srt-8...
are you running dry or are you doing fuel jets??? running dry would make me more nervous if it was dialed in for boost only.

The nitrous can serve as a "chemical aftercooler" in a boosted application. It comes into the charge air stream way below zero in temp (I've heard minus 128F, but I don't know that for a fact). It also adds extra oxygen to allow you to burn more fuel. You could run it dry if you have the fuel injector and fuel system capacity for it. But you would definitely have to tune for it.

For the record, I was nitrous only until early November and after February I will be supercharger only. But I understand my nitrous setup lives to ride another day on another hot rod.

How much boost are u going to be running 12lbs or 15lbs maybe more?
The supercharger should be able to do all the work you want to do why would u need to spray it too?
id maybe look into a meth kit.

Just a idea I was thinking about.....I might just spray my FMIC with the kit and sell the nitrous plate......Who knows.

But I think im going to see what she does on 8PSI 1st.
