![Question](https://ls1tech.com/forums/images/icons/icon5.gif)
Im pulling off the blower in my car as I only run it hard maybe 3-4 times a month and the nitrous seems like a better power adder for me, car has 50k on it well maintained with a 52mm TB, 1.6 RR's, full exhaust, in-line fuel pump (from the blower kit) and will be getting a cam soon. I have been looking at the Mallory 685, is that a good way to pull timing? also what plugs will I need and what do I gap them to for a 100-150 shot? is that a safe shot on a stock motor? Will i need a dynotune right away? what injectors should I use? sorry for all the questions but I will be making a purchase this week and want to make sure I have all bases covered.

Yes ie needs to be tuned right away, the mallory will work, but tunign the car for the hit would be better. a tr6 or tr7 will work, I'd start with a #7, gap them at about 35. 150 will be o.k. with a stock motor, I wouldn't go too much more then that.
Injectors, if you are going dry I would put a 36 or 42 lb in, give you some room to grow later.
There is a sticky at the top of the forum that covers most of these questions... I'm going to leave this open in case there's something major that's missed in the sticky... it's still being updated with more info as I come across it.

Will it only pull timing when the nitrous is on or how does that work? im sorry im a little confused I thought all the installed kits I saw had the mallory 685. also will I be safe with the TR7 plugs on a 100-150 shot? Do I need a window switch or does the tune take care of that too?

If you get it dyno tuned for the nitrous it will be pulling timing ALL the time, which will hurt your N/A numbers. The mallory box can be wired up to only pull timing when the nitrous is activated.
Get some Br7ef plugs, which is a non-projected tip #7 plug. They will be fine for that size shot. Also, I'd recommend a HSW microedge controller. It has a window switch and tons of other options built into it.

So I really dont need a dynotune right away as long as I pull timing with the mallory box when im spraying? all hes going to do is tune it for NA right? I might as well wait for a dynotune for when I get my cam installed later this year. with the microedge controller and mallory box it is SAFE to spray it right?
