Default In search of suggestions for Nitrous tuning

I Pm'd Carter01 in hopes of some guidance and I have spoke to Graham of Nitrous Outlet. Carter01 has yet to respond but hope he has time and a williness to help me.

I am going to the track Sat/Sunday this week to do some tuning based on the plugs. I have a wideband and Hp Tuners but want to check everything via plugs and try for a 9s slip later in the FALL. Just trying to take my time and get it right by then.

I had the car tuned @ SPEED INC by Jim on their dyno last week.

My setup is in the siggy.

Plugs were Br9efs
We tuned non nitrous with 25 degrees of timing @ 1.36 g/cyl 100 octane
On the nitrous/nano tune we used a 78/35 pill and had 11.1 AFR with timing of 19 degrees 1.36 g/cyl 100 octane in tank and cell.

I have HP tuners pro suite so I can log and tune.


I know the strip vs dyno tuning are 2 different worlds.

I plan to do the fresh plugs and pull them in the return lane, and then post them for guidance.

Any suggestions on how a seasoned nitrous racer would go about this task?
Graham has given me his suggestions, just looking for other thoughts on the process.

TIA

Boost + N20 = alot of fun and probably a little different tuning method.

My suggestion would be to not start with a 78n jet.(225-250 shot)

Maybe start with 63 (150 shot) and work your way up making 1/8th mile passes.

Good luck, Awesome car.

Curtis, I see you got the Vent ran. Do you still need me to send Vent hose?

No I am good. I spoke to Graham today and also posted in the other thread that I am good and no need to send the hose. I asked him to let you know that I took care of it, so you would not send it needlessly.

I also asked him to thank you for me!

Appreciate everything you guys have done for me.

I got some sound advice from Carter01 and ATVracr today. Start with a lesser shot & tune for fuel, then timing.
I'll post some plug photos this weekend.
