This thread has some good advise and bad advise... be careful what you listen to.

First of all. Like suggested your tunner will know where your timing is. Even with that if you put a fresh set of plugs in the car you can varify the N/A timing on the strap of the plug. If the strap shows it could take some more timing you may be able to spray alittle with out pulling any additional timing. If doing it this way I would suggest starting small and varifying the timing mark movement on the strap as you move up in power range.

You could always get the lingenfelter controller to pull the timing when the nitrous system is activated. This will let you run Max N/A timing and pull timing onthe nitrous.

Someone in this thread suggested fuel octain was a replacement for the need to yank timing. While some may view it this way I totaly disagree and think that is dangerous advice. The combustion timing is a completely different thing. Pull the timing...

No matter what, you will have to varify airfuel and make sure it is correct. If the system is a wet system you can simply change the fuel jet to adjust the airfuel level.

For the power level you are looking to spray do the BR7EF. Your car should run just fine unless the driveability tune is not that great.

Yes in most cercumstances you can use other brand accessories with a different brand system. A 4 an main feed line will use a 9/16 wrench on the nut and a 6an main feed line will use a 11/16 wrench on the nut. Most efi plate and nozzle systems all use a 4 an main feed line. You usually see a 6an main feed line on a directport or a really big highflowing carb plate set up.

The guys at harris did a good job with the microedge. I wouldnt have a problem at all running one in my own car.

If your looking for just a window switch the Digital msd window switch similar to the one posted is my choice. We have them or you can order them through msd. Trying to give you all the options. Let me know if I can help with anything else.

well ordered the harris controller and their tunnel mount. anybody know if my nos bottle will fit it without drilling? and also, is there anyway that i could spray the car without getting the racetronix kit for a while? or would that be dangerous?

and say i get this bottle heater and mount my bottle in it. is it designed to work with the tunnel mount?

or do i need one of the bottle heaters like this that just wrap around the bottle?

I'll let Harris chime in for a definitive answer, but I'm pretty sure there is no drilling
