I\'m curious to know what NOS is like in the Viper

This may be a silly question, but I never been in a Viper with NOS. I was watching the "Fast and the Furious" and I think they over did the scene, but can anyone describe what it feels like when it's on?

How hard is it to install?

How long did that scene last, 45 seconds? I have personally witnessed ricers doing the 1/4 in much less.

I have one on my Corvette. It is 100HP wet. It comes with bottle warmer, bottle oppener, window switch (3K-6K RPM) and WOT switch (that means it goes on only when you have the pedal to the floor) I like it, it is good to keep stock Vipers behind

but if you add this to the Viper the car must by crazy fast!!!

What is the difference between the window switch and the WOT switch? Do you use both or only one or the other?

Try this ab, start in 1st gear from a roll at 15 MPH go 1/2 throttle, then at 30 MPH stab the throttle to the floor. Feel the increase in power? Well that's what it feels like when your in 2nd gear and activate the nitrous at 60 MPH.

Mike L,

Our systems use a more modern switch that we call a WOT(Wide Open Throttle) switch. It actually reads TPS voltage from your car and engages and disengages nitrous based upon foot pedal applied voltage.

TPS is a good way to go on a Viper but it does not work well on the Vette because we have traction control.

Mike L,

A window switch is used to operate a Nitrous(or other electroniclly activated system) throughout a preset rpm band. Window switches have been around for years for NHRA drag racers and are useful as safeguards against missed shifts, excessive wheelspin, etc. Typically they come with a range of plug in chips that activate and deactivate a system based upon user selected RPM.

A WOT switch actually engages a nitrous(or other electronically activated system)system. There are different types of activation switches.

The most simple and common is a microswitch under the gas pedal or attached to the bellcrank of a throttle body, that engages the system when it is tripped.

Our systems use a more modern switch that we call a WOT(Wide Open Throttle) switch. It actually reads TPS voltage from your car and engages and disengages nitrous based upon foot pedal applied voltage.

In any case you can't use a window switch by itself. A WOT switch of some fashion is still required for system activation.

Please call or email me with any questions concerning any facet of nitrous oxide injection for your Viper or other exoctic car.

Thanks for the info Tom and Sheyster. Sounds like a great bang for the buck even if you are conservative on the shot size. My first project will be to get rid of that silent exhaust system that the factory installs! Then maby the 3.55 gear or nitrous system. I know that the quarter mile times may suffer with the 3.55 but it sounds like the car would be more "drivable". Geeze, the way it's geared now, I find myself going triple digits with just a spirited run through a few gears!

Sheyster,
Thanks again. I'll continue to do research before I make any decisions. Right now the exhaust tone is my #1 priority.
