NGK TR6's gapped at .035, pull 1* for every 25 HP of spray (you can tune it back in if you have the ability to datalog), I would advise you put a 255 pump in the tank and hotwire it.

You can tune it by changing the fuel jets.

How else were you planning on changing your timing? You asked about it in your original post, so I assumed you had the ability to do it.

I would at least find a buddy with a wideband or a dyno and make sure your afr is in check on the spray and then keep checking plugs to keep things in order.

Totally Agree!!!!!! Stop screwing around and get the tune, or you could make a mistake and need a new motor the choice is your. Tune looks pretty good now huh??

So you're on the stock fuel system, you don't want to get a tune, and you want to do it as cheap as possible?

Make sure you save enough $$$ to have the $$$$ sitting aside for the replacement engine.

yeah you see guys spraying 100 shots on the stock fuel system all the time but they're also tuned for it, pulled timing out. 150 shot can be had on the bottom end with a better fuel pump and hotwire kit.

i thought i was going to get out cheap too, 500 bucks for nitrous!!! 35-150 shot, na man, doesnt work like that, i got the base kit with no tune right now, but was also deployed right after i filled the bottle. now im looking into the safety features and running it properly. also looking into getting hptuners sometime soon, and a wideband.

rule of thumb (or wrist for some fans)
pick 3
fast, reliable, or cheap....

but only 3...

...dont you mean only 2? if its fast and cheap, its not reliable, etc? sheeit, ill juet pick all three then. Anyway, to the OP, I have a set of BR7EFs, i think they are called, a racetronix 255lph pump with hotwire kit, and as soon as i can get my damn HPtuners to work, i plan on pulling 6, then 4, then 6 degrees of timiing. I heard the rule was 2 degrees for every 50hp.

hey reading more into nitrous and all the 'extra' safety equipment that goes along with it. wouldnt a micro-edge be ideal? im thinking about getting one. cause in reality you wouldnt need a window switch (it has one) or a fpss (shuts down when lean/rich detected). they seem like the ultimate nitrous controller.
