Lightbulb Working On It!

C - As far as I know, no one has a GS400 SPECIFIC kit available for our cars. However, there R several members on the Board who have generic kits that seem to have worked well for them. Nitrous Express & Texas Nitrous have kits which are derived from the Ford EFI systems that are working as desired. Go back to page 9 in the GS3/GS4 Forum & there R a few threads posted by myself & others regarding the latest info on squeeze for the GS4. There's even a few pictures of a kit in a GS ( with twin bottles, no less!! ).:eek:

Talking I'm a Coward!!

Kerr - What can I say? I'm a wimp!! Actually, I'm just gonna wait on NOS or Venom to finish their kits designed specifically for our GS. Nothing against what some of the other members have used ( if it's working for ya, why change? ) but in all my years of dragging & squeezing, I never had a problem & I attribute that to a well designed kit ( both from NOS ). Sounds funny coming from a person who, like Percy, has learned how to McGyver stereos from scratch & still ain't above swapping some wires around to experiment but that little voice in the back of my head ( that I DON'T usually listen to:eek: ) keeps telling me to be conservative in the nitrous endeavor, at least for now!

We got some defective fuel nozzles from NOS recently;there was some flashing partially covering the orofice on the metering jet,not good.
Would be worth inspecting before dumping loads of nitrous into your motor without enough gasoline also.
