Default 100 shot dry

I have just about everything to put a dry nitrous kit on my ws6. Ive ran nitrous on my race car but never messed around with the trans am. The plan is to spray ~100 shot to it, and the car is bone stock for now. I plan on hiding the kit and putting the nozzle in the air box. I have been told a 100 shot is fine with the stock tune, and I have heard other wise. The motor only has 18,000 miles on it so it isnt beat to death. Any opinions? Anybody ran nitrous on a bone stock car?

Many people will claim that running nitrous on a stock tune is fine. Will you be fine? Probably. But I would never run nitrous on a stock tune due to safety reasons. In my opinion everyone should get a tune when running nitrous. I need to know what my car is doing and how its running before spraying. But I guess im ****. Did you get some new spark plugs?

i ran a dry 100shot nitrous on my ss when it was stock (except for a lid and a flowmaster catback). i ran colder plugs and i'm pretty sure i had to pull a little timing as all i had was 91 octane pump gas and was getting audible pinging and knock retard showing up on my logs.
maybe you have 93 octane where your are or your DA will allow for stock timing.

hopefully your nozzle placement works out great and the MAF reads it all like it should. you could end up rotating it every which way to get it dialed in right which can be a pain. give it a shot.

yea it will prolly work but y tempt fait??? you already have the nitrous just get it tuned or invest in a nice two step or timing retarder. i picked up almost 20 rwhp on the tune for the nitrous....+ u get to see your numbers

not to hijack, but I might have an interface for sale soon, will help with pulling a few degrees of timing.

but anyways, good luck with the dry shot. you'll have fun

i would imaine it would be safer to run a 100 wet shot on a stock tune then a dry shot. just because your already adding fuel to the mix on a wet kit and nothin on a dry kit.
