Default Any issue daily driving on nitrous tune?

Are there any issues with DDing on a nitrous tune? Will pulling times for a 100shot effect driveability at all?

I can't notice any difference whatsoever, seat of the pants wise.
Maybe at the track I may show a loss of a couple 10ths na, vs before I had nitrous. But I certainly can't feel any difference driving around town.

You will see slight to little difference. I can slightly feel that my car is more sluggish, and doesn't pick up as well as my tuned motor map. But its not that big of a deal. Still feels like its pulling good at WOT.

if you fouled your plugs... then your tune was wrong...
I could understand if you went WOT all the time and the tune was way rich at WOT because of improper nitrous knowledge...
but normal driving with occasional WOT should NOT hurt a thing




if tuned correct, you should not have any issues driving around on a nitrous tune....
I drive around on a #9 plug and have no issues
I have tuned many cars with nitrous...and they get daily driven with no issues.

I lost 6rwhp pulling timing for 100 shot on my cts-v. If you can feel that, you are pretty good lol.

Change plugs when going back to the track or set it on kill 24/7? I don't want to have to change plugs constantly that's why I dot wanna put nitrous on my Vette, but if I can still cruise it on semi- kill I'd be in

Other then having some timing pulled in the tune it should be where it should be N/A (other then a colder plug).. A/F on spray is in the jetting.. I had a timing tuner in mine so when i flipped the switch if pulled timing.

Default drivablity tune

If you want the best of both worlds i suggest not pulling the timing out across the board. use your regular tune and install an Lingenfelter RPM Limiter Timing Retard Launch Controller GM LS Engines
, that way u would have ur normal tune to drive on then when u arm ur nos the box would pull the timing out, have fun

you dont have to do either...

I daily drive my car(weather permitting of course)
on a #9 plug....
only thing I do is put in fresh ones at the track so I have an accurate reading on the first pass to know everything is right.

the best way is to set your tune up NA as best as you want it to be, and then buy a controller to do nitrous timing retard.
if you do a wet kit, the fueling is all in the jetting
if you do a dry kit, then get a controller that can control the fueling as well.

you really shouldn't run a dry kit without separate fuel control...not saying that people cant...because they do, its just not ideal and they end up with a really rich WOT NA.

shouldnt be any less mpg... part throttle has nothing to do with your nitrous tune...

Sure seems like it to me...perhaps its the plugs (BR7). It gets slightly less than it did.
