Tony Mamo, Pat G, Brian Tooley, Martin Smallwood. All are good choices!

69gto96z pretty much summed it up. Will this car see mostly nitrous and very little n/a?

I'd hit up Brian Tooley or Ed Curtis. Any of the above mentioned guys would be great too.

With the new set up I'll probably hit the track a couple times just on motor to see what it does but 90% of the time it will be on nitrous.

I was thinking about have a n/a tune and nitrous tune but that's still up in the air right now. My tuner comes to the track with me most of the time anyway

Run a timing retard box like the Lingenfelter one.

I'm sure they work good, but I don't know how much I trust one of those timing boxes

I run the LNC-2000 timing retard box. Works like a charm. Never had a single issue

I was just looking into it. Has anyone tried using the 2 step or launch control? I was planning on running a 2 step but I see this isn't a true 2 step

Those timing boxes are very reliable....I wouldn't be too concerned with that.

If you need some help with a cam let me know. Having designed the heads your running certainly makes the task a bit easier not to mention I have played with alot of cams on the dyno over the years with those heads and others very similar.

Most cam specs are driven by cylinder head, RPM, and application requirements....if you email (or PM) me information on your vehicle and the type of driving you do....how you plan to use the car....how much you want it optimized for spray at the expense of N/A power etc., I can get a cam spec'ed and ground for you that will work very well



Regards,
Tony
