Default Need controller advice!!

I'm planning a dry kit setup on my otherwise stock ride. I been doing some research and know I need a rpm switch for the M6. I also think I need a timing controller to retard timing when spraying??? Also, is a fuel pressure switch manditory? Does one device exist that does it all?? I want a safe set up but am looking to buy as few of devices as possible.

Our two controllers, the interface and the MicroEdge can take care of all your needs and then some. It will also enable you run your dry shot as a post-MAF.
here are links to both of them.

You wont have to worry about nozzle position in respect to the MAF. Rather then dialing in your A/F by adjusting of the nozzle position you simply change the dip switches on the interface. Location for nozzle placement will be up to you.

Was looking as the HSW web site and saw the LS1 Timming Tuner and N02 Control. Does this device do both timming and RPM switch or am I reading it wrong?

You dont need an A/F guage, but yes dialing in your A/F is very important. On the spray you want to be around 11.7 to 12.2. The A/F shutdown switch is a very important saftey feature. Even if you had a guage it might be too late.

The timing tuner functions as a timing puller and single stage window switch.

Yes, the only thing is you won't be able to see the timing being pulled. If you combine the Interface and MicroEDGE you're only a little bit more price wise, but you'll gain quite a few benefits over the timing tuner. Please let Mike or I know if you have any questions. Thanks!

What about the SD guys that dont have the MAF to pug into. What would our options be to pull timing?

Technically you could still use the Interface to pull your timing if speed density. You would however be required to cut the maf harness to power the unit. Your other options are obviously tune, or timing tuner. Thanks.

you dont need a window switch. i ran my NOS 5177 kit(100 dry), with the included manual WOT switch, and FPSS for 4 years with no problems, droped 1 second off my ET. worked awesome and nothing to buy or fool with.

Do I have to run colder plugs for a 100 shot? Was planning on getting the HSW Interface to retard timing.

yeah probly i ran NGK TR6s with mine. (one step colder than stock)
again with the 5177 kit the interface is not needed. and even better the kit comes with a 15lb bottle instead of the industry standard 10lb
http://www.nitrousoutlet.com/catalog...product_id=706

for some reason the nitrous outlet site above is reading a 10 lb bottle, but it actually comes with a 15 (as pictured)

I have a little experiance with the dry hits, and i would reccomend the Interface for what ever dry kit you use. none of the other kits on the market offer any way to adjust the a/f ratio. i ran 4 NOS 5177 dry kits personal and helped set up to many to count and it's a crap shoot whether or not youwill have a good a/f ratio, most have a tendancy to run lean and the a/f will be up and down and unstable through out the run Now a 5177 modded a tad bit and running the Interface would work great. myself being a die hard dry fan truly believe the best over all dry kit on the market is the Sudden Imact plate kit as it comes with everything you need to tune it properly, no other kit offers the safety of this kit. I run the Interface and MicroEdge on my triple stage dry set-up and have tried every type of fueling and timing pull out there except the EFI Cos 5, though the Interface due to it's ability to progress a dry shot has an edge over it, IMO. the perfect kit for the LSx, a dry kit, the correct controlers and NANO it just doesn't get any better. Good luck, and if you run into any dry tuning problems give me a holla. You state a FPSS, not needed with the MicrEdge and the lean shut down feature, though you certainly could still run one if you like.
