Here you go. For a little more money I chose the lingenfelter unit for the launch capability and timing pull.

I use the MSD timing twister and a FJO controller. My tuning needs are done by Allam Futral @ Futral Motorsports.

^Thanks! Is this good just so you can pull the timing on the go vs a tuner?

I have mine wired to see 12v when I hit the nitrous button. As long as it doesn't see 12v to the trigger wire it doesn't kick in. Thats about the going price for them. You might be able to pick one up used on here or ebay.

Is this the only way to adjust the timing or just the most ideal?

I would have to say the biggest pita with nitrious is just checking your plugs after you spray and i mean right after.To see how the tune is the wideband is not going to tell you too much on the nitrious.But on the street nitrious gets it done it creates its own atomsphere so when the forceinduction cars are saying how shitty there car is running because its hot humid out it dont effect you as much.Plus the first time you spray the car hold on thats all i got to say and have dragradials on the car

Hey man you want to idealy have a fresh set of plugs in the car make a full pass on the nitrious and as soon as you can click the car off pull over and pull a couple spark plugs to see where your tune is.Do a search on this site to get better info as far as how the plugs should look like.Soon as you got it were it looks to be good tuneup wise on the spray you just need to pull evry so often to see whats going on.Its not that bad just the best way to no whats going on in the motor.

You are putting too much info out for this guy. He is not to this point yet with only wanting to shoot a 100 shot. He just needs the basics right now and your info would be golden to him a little later on when he sprays more. As long as he has the correct plugs, good fuel, and pulls timing he will be ok to check his plugs after a day at the track. He is not shooting a 250 shot and would need to pull his plugs pretty much after every pass.

With a 100 shot you can be a little off in your tune and be ok but not as much with the 250.

Yeah im going to start off low like you said. ^ I was thinking of starting off even lower maybe only a 50 shot just in case, then 100, 125 or 150.

I like to go the extra work to make sure the tune is on even on a 100 shot things can get screwy if the tune is off dosnt hurt to check the plugs after that like i said he can check every once and awhile.

One thing I was wondering today is if the skip shift and asr will be a problem. I'm guessing so, I guess the skip shift wont if you have a window but if the wheel spins and asr cuts throttle I'm gunna be hurting huh.. Do I need one of those asr delete modules? I know I can turn it off but I may forget to once. Is this a potential problem?

skip shift activates when your less than 30% in first gear accelerating, it won't affect WOT
