actually in the shop doing it now...
the guy told me Eldebrock kit is the ONLY way to do it...
can buy a plate to match your carb.
He also said he would not do it to a stock motor, needs to have a cam and springs

HELL NO, I wouldn't use NOS for anything outside of drag racing applications (and I can't afford to build a motor that can handle nitrous without causing damage every time I use it)

There are alot of misconceptions about nitrous.
On the timing, you want to retard it a little if anything..
As far as it " burning way more fuel ", if you go with a wet kit that has a fuel jet and N2o jet in the fogger, it adds the required amount of fuel along with the nitrous to keep the mixture from leaning out when its applied.A "dry" kit as alot of folks call them will be only an N2o manifold that sprays nitrous into your intake manifold.Alot of those kits will run a line from the nitrous manifold to the carb's vent to atmosphere.Since the carb no longer has that vent, you have to move way up on your main jet to acheive a proper a/f mixture.When you apply the nitrous the manifold sends pressure created by the pressure from the bottle to pressurize the float bowl forcing extra fuel into the engine to provide the mixture from leaning out.Make any sense:lol: .
With the fairly low compression on these motors (stock), thats another +..
If you do decide on using nitrous once you get a kit installed before you spray it I'd suggest using an LM1 wideband, or dyno time to get the mixture perfect.Once you have it properly tuned its not really "bad" for anything if used wisely.Common failures are usually headgaskets, holes burnt in pistons,ect..But that is from improper or no tuning usually.Never know till you try it:up:
Sorry for the long post and also I've never run nitrous on an S&S and have no idea what it will tolerate, but have run it on alot of kawasaki v-twin atv's.

Bring It!
I was thinking about getting a nos kit. I saw that NOS has a nice dual chrome bottle kit part number 0312-oz-pnos. Edelbrocks kit isn't that nice looking of what I seen, and i heard that how they want you took hook it up and use it you have to hold down your horn button to have it armed. Seemed wierd to me. If thats true there are always ways around that.

Actually Edlebrock makes a kit that bolts on behind the carb and comes with a module that you can program...so no button to push..
on at 4300rpm off at 6000rpm or however you set it..
seems pretty cool..

The Edelbrock kits are ok IF...... You use fogger nozzles.Edelbrock uses spray bars which kill air flow,and sends the majority of the charge to the rear cylinder.
If you're going to use NOS,you need to also use a 2 lb.bottle.Anything less,and you're pissing in the wind.
