Page 5: General Information
Introduction to your Edelbrock 2-Stage Performer RPM Nitrous System Within the pages of this manual is information, safety tips and operation instructions for your new Edelbrock Nitrous System. Watch for these symbols to know where to go for information. ….There is safety related information here. -
Page 6: Jet Map Information
The dyno tests were conducted at Edelbrock using a mildly-modified 350 cubic inch engine. Both dual plane and open plenum intake manifolds were tested to ensure validity of jet maps for each horsepower setting. Modifications included Edelbrock intake manifolds, Edelbrock aluminums heads, dyno headers, and improved ignition. -
Page 7: Engine Operation Considerations
When designing your fuel system, plan on your pumps and lines flowing at least 0.1 gallons per hour per horsepower at rated pressure. The testing at Edelbrock was conducted with a fuel pressure of 6.5 to 7 psi. Any variation 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. -

Device (PRD) Bottle Safety Information 1. Do not attempt to remove the bottle valve. Please return your bottle to Edelbrock if service is required to the siphon tube inside the bottle or the bottle valve itself. 2. Never heat the outside of your nitrous bottle with an open flame like that of a torch. -
Page 10: Bottle Orientation
An Edelbrock nitrous bottle cannot be mounted upside-down. Edelbrock does not offer a non-siphon tube bottle for automotive use. If the bottle must be mounted parallel to the axles of the vehicle (sideways), the label must be angled at approximately 45 degrees toward the front of the vehicle. -

Every precaution has been taken to ensure the cleanliness of our components during the assembly of your Edelbrock Nitrous System. However, because of the importance of the jets and the calibration, extra care should be taken before you install your jets. Wash them thoroughly with brake cleaner or another non oil based cleaner, before installing them into the plate. -
Page 16: Electrical System Installation
Important: The wiring hardware and instructions included with this kit are intended for 12-volt electrical systems only. Before attempting to wire your Edelbrock Performer nitrous oxide system, examine and follow the wiring diagram on the following page. Please call the Edelbrock Technical department with any questions concerning electrical wiring. -
Page 18: Nitrous Electrical System Installation Procedures
The wire harness attached to the relay and fuse holder includes 8 feet of color-coded wires to make the electrical system installation for your Edelbrock Nitrous System as easy as possible. We recommend not cutting any lengths of wires from the wire harness or complete the wiring of the nitrous system until all of the mechanical components are securely mounted in their permanent locations. -

Page 22: Baseline Tuning Suggestions
5.1 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. -
