I didnt see any nitrous info in there.

If any of my plugs looked like any of those pics I would shoot myself in the face.

Can one of you guru's make a quick write up then with some photos of GOOD looking plugs? I am on the dyno next Friday, and the track next Sunday and would LOVE to get this dialed in even though its only a 150 shot.

I have not noticed mine to be any cleaner with nitrous. The main thing is that people know what to look for and know to shut things down after a run if they are looking for WOT readings.

You probably run your N20 tune richer than it needs or wants to be.

IMO.

I’m retarded because I add nitrous. LOL Get it? Probably not. Anyway, the polite term, in case you’re (note spelling) interested, is “Developmentally Disabled”. Seriously, though, I respect your knowlwdge and experience. You have undoubtedly destroyed many more engines than I have.

No your a retard because your posting like you know something when you are really clueless and your posting to a guy who knows alot more than you about reading plugs/ tuning.

You said go dry or a direct port well I have both .... a dry direct port and I can assure you that our distibution is perfect. Now can you tell me why we have to pull 8* of timing out of #8 cyl. , run a smaller N20 jet and we dont have to do none of that for cylinders #1-4.

As I have said before you cant tune all 8 cyl's with 1 wideband sensor.
Not the right way anyway.

I would never hurt anything running 11's !
And your right I wouldnt know what I know now without hurting a few motors. Thats part of the game if your trying to go fast, not that you would know anything about that either.

None of your big shot comments help the OP. My original post was merely intended to counter the absurd claim that a wideband is “useless” for tuning a nitrous engine. Despite the obvious limitation you harp upon, a wideband can, for example, show that a nitrous engine is lean at 5000 rpm and rich at 7000. This is good information and is much more realistic than your extreme examples. Sorry I rattled your cage.
