Default stock tune, nitrous tune need help

ok, i have few questions, . do i need to go get tuned for nitrous or will colder plugs, timing retard, and possibly 110 octane suffice BTW i plan on running 150 shot. also i have no idea where to take the timing out in hp tuners like which tables and so forth. so if anyone has a tune with timing already takin out correctly or just a nitrous tune they can send me that is close to my cars mods that would be great. All one other thing, I have a frost tune does he advance timing any i need to know for nitrous purposes, Thanks in advance for all responses


mods - LT headers,exhaust,Volant intake,ls6 mani, 4;11 GEARS

It really depends on whether it's a dry or wet shot.

A wet tune is usually just timing unless you're running a dry shot in which case a tune also richens the AFR.

Since wet system you are adding fuel so all you need to do is what you listed colder plugs and pulling timing which I believe is 1 to 1.5 degree every 50 shot...Are you using msd 6ls?

I think that 110 my mess you up unless you tune the PCM for the higher octane, wouldn't be gaining if no accommodating tuning for that high a grade of race fuel..

Why are you wanting to run 110. That fuel is leaded.

Stick with pump gas for that setup. You'll be fine. You would pull timing from your high octane main spark table or you could use a timing tuner or iat tricker to do it. And if you were only going to pull 4 plugs I would do the back 4 instead of the front. Those are the cylinders that get more air (leaner) so better to tune off of those.

I would do like 3000 and up rpms, from about .64 to the bottom of the high octane table. Log spark and do a pull to make sure it's within that region. I'd pull at least 6 degrees for starters. IDK whether frost adds spark to all of his tunes or not. Something you'd have to ask him yourself.

Or you could compare the stock table to yours and confirm what you have.
