Who is in charge of tuning the setup?

well, Nos aftermark recommends to retard 2° per each 50HP starting with 40° because we're 1540 meter sea level, then at finishing it is at 26 degrees. we're considering to use an air/fuel ratio meter.
what do you think?

Pick up the pieces. Get the motor back together. Dial it in Razor sharp on motor. Then we can talk nitrous tuning.
At the shot sizes your referring to, yes, you need a wideband. But is just another tuning tool. Plug reading saves motors.
Short answer, bad information and moving too fast on the tuneup.

Start completely over with tuning. The traditional rules are guidelines for small shots and much less aggressive motors. Trying to tune a 350hp hit on 14.0 compression off of those will end up with hurt parts every time.

i dont think going with the, "general" if you'd even call it that, rules. With a shot that size your engine def needs some special attention in the form of tuning
