Sneaky pete.. best 200 bucks i ever spent, Get
a bigger bottle though and a new jet (38 size)
that way you can run 42 hp. ive been doing it
for 2 weeks now and the A/F meter says
everything is fine and the plugs look great so
its definetly safe. I bought headers last
summer, was it worth it, yeah but you cant do
the cool "flip a switch and push a button". man
i think im goin for a run right now. Go for it!

Uhhhh....yes you can do the "flip a switch/push a button".

Instead of the throttle switch, mount a momentary ON switch on your steering wheel (NOS sells these) or a smaller one on your shifter (if a manual). I had the NOS switch on my shifter handle for about a year. Switched to the Hurst handle with integrated switch which works as well (decided not to use it but still in the truck).

the dude at my speedshop laughed at me when i said i wanted a sneaky pete kit, larger jet, and bigger bottle. the sneaky pete kit is universal right? and is it WOT activated if you dont buy a switch?

Bernd i meant with the headers :-) I have mine
wired to do the "flip and push".. i was saying
that with the headers you cant do that cool little
trick...so the sneaky pete kit gets the
"coolness" points

Justin: you can use the sneaky pete kit on
anything from go-karts(Bernd did that i think)
to water craft. On EFI engines the computer
makes up for the increased O2. I personally
fun the 38 jet just fine(thats roughly 42 hp), but
yes for the most part it is universal.

I jsut ordered another bottle so now i have
dual 2lb bottles (would have gotten the 5 lb but
two 2lb bottles are easier to hide) I also made
myself a "black box" and ut all the arming and
activation switches as well as the IAT adjuster
in the center console, looks pretty damn cool
and no one knows i have nitrous! :-)

you will prob notice the nitrous more than headers, you realy don't need headers untill you have a good bit of other mods.

Just put headers on last weekend. It was a killer job. One stud was broke off under the master cylinder. Took an extra 2 to 3 hours to try to drill him out. Y pipe had to be spread to fit. Had I to do it over again, I don't know that I would do it. The stud still had to be fixed, so I probably would. Butt dyno says a little better throttle response, and I may have picked up 1 mpg, just one tank through it so far.
