1.1 General Information
The Edelbrock Performer RPM Nitrous System (Part number 70070) is intended for use on
domestic V-8 engines using the Pro-Flo manifold, throttle body and injection. 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.
