Default Dry shot pre MAF

In theory if you run a dry shot pre MAF the computer should compensate as long as the fuel system is there correct? So you wouldn't have to run around on a nitrous tune?

a "Nitrous tune" is for pulling timing. Not adjusting fueling.

well for a dry shot it probably wouldnt be a bad idea to adjust fueling to make sure its safe. Ya know if everything is done right and reading the plugs... Atleast i think i would? Dunno if thats common though.

Which Maf? Which Car? Compensate for how much? How would you tune it if its not? How are you pulling timing? How much Nitrous?

Nitrous needs tuning in one form or another. Either jets, nozzle placement, timing pulled, fuel added via the pcm. Its the easiest way to add power, but you still have to do things right.

if it's a rental car, spray away. if it's your car or you give a **** about the car, make sure you get your ducks in a row before you spray so you don't end up regretting your decision to use nitrous.
