1.1 General
information
The Edelbrock Performer RPM Nitrous Systems are intended for use on domestic style V-6 and V-8
engines using single square-flange 4 bbl. carburetors (Part Number 70050), spread-bore 4 bbl.
carburetors (Part number 70051), and Dominator-flange carburetors (Part Number 70053). Horsepower
and torque increases can vary with engine displacement and 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 carburetor and the
carburetor 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 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, carburetor configurations and the microswitch bracket will allow for several
different positions.
This system includes the bottle, 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 in the
brackets. When installing your nitrous bottle, pay close attention to the installation instruction for the
location of your bottle. Ensuring the installation of your bottle does not compromise systems that may lie
under the potential location where you plan to drill mounting holes.
Call your local automotive store, motorcycle shop and race track for refilling of your bottle. Trust a
professional to properly fill your bottle and reference this manual when re-installing your new 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.
