Both vehicles pump Nitrous Oxide for better performance. Using only the best equipment and techniques for performance, Team Nitrousfitz look s to improve their record with a big win at Red River.

Team Nitrousfitz wants you to learn more about Nitrous Oxide, and how you can use it to get better performance from your vehicle. Here are some great kits and systems that might work well for you. Start learning now, and find out the best way to get more horsepower from your street or race vehicle with the addition of a quality Nitrous Oxide kit or system here:

HOLLEY® NOS® CHEATER™ KIT Adjust power level from 150 to 250 horsepower in seconds! Designed for use on 350 CID or larger carbureted engines. The NOS® Cheater™ uses large nitrous and fuel solenoids and can be adjusted to any desired power level from 150 to 250 horsepower in a matter of seconds. The Cheater™ system is easy to install and utilizes a 1/2" thick injector plate that fits between the carburetor and intake manifold to provide ample hood clearance. Includes a 10 lbs. nitrous bottle, 4 stages of jets, aircraft quality steel braided line and all necessary electrical and mounting hardware for a complete installation. Each single carburetor Cheater™ system includes jet pack #13725 that allows jetting to 4 different horsepower levels: 150, 180, 210 and 250. IMPORTANT NOTE: To supply the proper amount of fuel to the carburetor and Cheater™ system, a fuel pump must be used that is designed to operate between 5 and 10 PSI with a flow rate of 0.1 gallons per hour/horsepower at 6 PSI. Fuel Pumps sold separately (item # ZX274475 and ZX274476). Safety Switch sold separately (Item # ZX274477). NOTE: SKU numbers ending in F are factory shipped and may take a little longer to reach you.

NOS ® POWERFOGGER ™ "WET" SYSTEM Adjustable for a 30-, 50- or 75-HP increase without engine modification! Cutting-edge single-fogger wet system features an exclusive Soft-Plume nozzle to produce the finest, safest fuel/nitrous mixture possible Thoroughly dyno-tested to ensure safe, dependable results on virtually any 4- or 6-cylinder car you want to "squeeze" Performance gains will vary depending on engine's condition and configuration. This system can be used on an engine with stock rods, pistons and crankshaft, but at power levels of 140 and above, it is recommended that heavy-duty forged components be used. Due to the nature of nitrous oxide injection, some cars "like" a certain nitrous tune-up more than others.

Team Nitrousfitz loaded their vehicles Sunday, September 28th. Three members of the team will be attending the race. While running two racers in two two different classes can be a difficult task for the best trained competitors, Team Nitrousfitz has been sending this trio of Nitrousfitz pros out to all the tracks around Texas, and they've brought home some great wins in many of the events. They look to get an early start on the weekend, so that they get the best opportunity to win this year's points race in the Top Sportsman class of drag race.

Bound for Gilliam from Houston, the team will depart Thurday Morning, October 2nd 4:00AM, and expect to arrive by 10:00AM the same morning. Parking and unloading will happen upon arrival and test and tune will begin that afternoon. Getting the best opportunity to win big races means getting a head start on each and every round of racing. Visit with Team Nitrousfitz and show your support of the 3rd Generation NHRA Drag Race family.

VENOM COMPUTERIZED NITROUS SYSTEM Advanced dual-processor management module plus Venom nitrous metering valve (patent pending) make this system this the best you can buy! You can custom program performance gains from 10 to 175 HP! No need for jets, pills...no need to raise fuel pressure Automatically stops nitrous flow if air/fuel mixture becomes too lean, minimizing risk of engine damage Optimizes air/fuel ratio at ANY bottle pressure. The most advanced system available! The secret is in the nitrous management module that YOU can program using the software included. YOU choose the amount of nitrous injected with the click of mouse-see the 3 program modes above. Module ensures optimum air fuel ratio mixture by using existing fuel injectors and oxygen sensor. No damage to engine. No extra pressure to the regulator as with conventional systems. No too-rich mixtures resulting in fouled plugs and oil saturation. Backlit LCD driver information display constantly informs you of critical engine data: RPM, injector pulse width, throttle angle, exhaust status (rich/lean), operating mode and system status. Includes: nitrous management module, LCD display, valve and solenoid assembly with fuse, wiring harness, nitrous bottle, nitrous braided hose, mounting brackets, software, PC download cable, switch and tuning guide, installation manual. Requirements: Windows(r) 95, 98 or NT system. CUSTOM PROGRAM 3 OPERATIONAL MODES! Easy to use! Simply plug the management module into the service port of your PC. Then, using the software included, you can "custom tailor" the nitrous to operate in any one of 3 different ways. 1. Drag mode. Same mode as current nitrous systems. You program the amount of nitrous to be delivered to the engine at wide-open throttle 2. Linear mode. You program at what throttle angle nitrous should be introduced. The management module then adds a proportionate amount of nitrous in relation to the throttle angle. The higher the angle, the greater the nitrous flow (up to a maximum amount programmed by you). It feels like a turbo! 3. Timed mode. You program at what throttle angle nitrous should be introduced and the percentage that should be added. You also program length of time nitrous will be injected. Ideal for turbocharged engines.
