General Information
The Edelbrock Performer RPM II Nitrous Systems are intended for use on domestic style V-8 engines using
single Dominator-flange carburetors (Part #70081, #70083, #70086) and square-flange 4 bbl. carburetors
(Part #70080, #70082, #70085).
Horsepower and torque increases can vary with engine displacement, equipment
upgrades and modifications. Approximate power increase estimates can be made based on the mass flow of nitrous oxide
into the engine.
These types of systems utilize an adjustable plate that sandwiches in between the throttle body and the throttle body
mounting pad on the intake manifold. The adjustability comes from the ability of the plate to accept different orifice-sized
jets. The plate has jet fittings at opposite ends of the plate that control the amount of nitrous oxide and fuel flow into the
engine.
This system has been designed with some flexibility as to where certain components can be located within the engine
compartment. The electrical components have properly-sized and ample lengths of wire for some flexibility on where
voltage signals are intercepted on the electrical system.
The solenoid and microswitch brackets have a universal shape to allow for adjustability in placement and location of these
components. The solenoids have ample feed line lengths for many different manifold, air cleaner, throttle body
configurations and the microswitch bracket will allow for several different positions.
This system includes the bottle (shipped empty), bottle feed line and universal footprint steel bottle brackets. The
mounting brackets also include rubber insulators to protect the surface of your nitrous bottle while mounted in the
brackets. When installing your nitrous bottle, pay close attention to the installation instructions for the location of your
bottle. Make sure that the installation of your bottle does not interfere with any systems that may lie under the location
where you plan to drill holes for mounting the brackets.
Call your local automotive store, motorcycle shop or race track for refilling of your bottle. Trust a professional to properly
fill your bottle and reference your installation manual when re-installing your filled bottle back into your vehicle.
Always take care when handling a full bottle of nitrous oxide. Please reference this manual for further safety measures
to take during the handling of a nitrous oxide bottle.
Please follow all safety methods during the installation of your Edelbrock Nitrous System, and follow all vehicle regulations
and road laws when using your nitrous system.
