I heard the recommended shot of Nitrous for the KLDE should be a 75shot. But what do you guys think, is it even worth getting nitrous? I know the effects of nitrous but I am just wondering, why does it seem like nobody on here even spraying with nitrous?
How about on a turboed KLDE?
NOS on a KLDE worth it?

Well I can't help you out on this one, but if you're really interested you should talk to Rick Johnson. He just put nos on his K8. Sounds like it worked out for him.

I'm running a 65 dry shot and it's starting to get lean on the K8, I think a 75 dry on the DE should be ok.
I have 5 extra injectors I was going to put in and run a 200 shot, but my stock clutch can't put the power to the ground - it slips really badly on the gear shifts with the lil' 65 shot
I have a new clutch but I'll just put that in with the ZE.

OK, as far as the K8 engine i don't have a clue to what it can hold.
But as far as Nitrous on a KLDE i got plenty of experince...i have been running nitrous through my KLDE for about 2-3 yrs and my compression has stayed ~190 psi through all 6 cylinders. If you do it right it will not F"ck anything up.
I started out with a 50...and after getting all the kinks worked out upgraded the fuel pump and bumped it to a 75 shot and ran that for a while. Then i went to the 100 shot and have been running this for some time now will nothing but praises. Now i switched it up to a 125 shot and everything is still all good. the only thing is a Clutch..majke sure your can hold the power. (i went through a Clutchmaster Stage 3, and a SPEC stage 3)
And yes that is a fully internally stock KLDE with approz 150,000 miles. Oh yeah the nitrous kit i am running is a ZEX Wet kit
