Do i need a retune to run nitrous or just a timing retarder?
Do i need a retune to run nitrous or just a timing retarder? Ok so I just have a question about running a small shot of nitrous on my car. I want to run a 75-100 shot on my car. Motor is around 76k-80k miles, has a small cam and heads package with a fast 102 intake. . I have an upgraded fuel pump, going to run a fpss, wot switch and window switch. I think the car is running at 23* timming but need I to look at my data logs to make sure.
With that being said, can I just run a wet kit nitrous with out pulling timing or just getting a timing retarder like the LNS2000? Or do I need to bring the car back to my tuner to let him work his magic?
Have had a couple people tell me that I can just run a 75 shot with out having to change anything but then I have herd my tuner say that I need a retune. I'm trying to do everything I can myself to learn as much as possible so I don't have to relie on anyone.

LOL. Timing retarder.
Just get a timing box and pull back 2 degrees for every 50 shot. Have it activate with the nitrous arming switch and go. That's how I have mine set up.

Being that you have a tuned HCI combo, i'm guessing the timing is probably not stock, but who knows. I was in the same situation as you recently, and my plan was to pull the timing myself via the LNC-2000, and then have it throw on the dyno to measure a/f just to be safe

I would recommend the LNC-2000 to remove timing from your existing tune. From the sound of it you have a good baseline tune on motor. Now just swap plugs, pull timing, confirm correct A/F and you're good to go.
