Technical Department with any questions you have concerning jetting patterns and their effects on engine performance. Edelbrock recommends an NGK spark plug with a heat range between -9 and -11, depending on the power level being used. When in doubt, always go to the next cooler heat range. -
Page 7: Engine Operation Considerations
When designing your fuel system, plan on your pumps and lines flowing at least 0.10 gallons per hour per horsepower. The testing at Edelbrock was conducted with a fuel pressure of 6.5 psi. Any variations from this fuel pressure will cause your final air/fuel ratio to change. Consult our Technical Department for any questions on fuel pressure and its effects on final air/fuel ratios when using nitrous oxide. -

Page 25: Baseline Tuning Suggestions
4.1 Nitrous Bottle Pressure...Always keep your bottle pressure between 900 and 950 psi. Yes, there are racers that use different pressures, but the testing we did here at Edelbrock to ensure the jetting maps within this manual are correct, was done in this pressure range. Use any higher pressure than 950 psi and you will be lean. Use any pressures below 900 psi and you will be rich. -
Page 26: Ignition Timing And Nitrous
Start conservatively, and put timing back in gradually. On a Nitrous system, even 1 degree change in advance can make a big difference.
