Default N/A tune is spot on... Do I need a nitrous tune?

Or is pulling timing with the lingenfelter unit ok?

Wanted to start with a 100 shot, and pulling 4 degrees on top my NA tune.

Pulling timing with a colder plug like a ngk Br7ef gapped at .30-.32 Should be good enough. The lnc-2000 is very easy to install like we mentioned in your other post.

You tune the nitrous system independently of the engine tune. The only thing you do with the engine is pull the timing back to where it needs to be when you're spraying. You make your nitrous adjustments with jet and pressure changes.

Just pull the timing and let it eat. If your tune was spot on, then pulling the timing and getting a good clean hit of nitrous in there will be amplified.

I agree with these guys. I run the LNC 2000 with 3 degrees pulled for a 100 shot.

If you tune up is spot on, I would pull timing and go test it out. 100 shot is still a relatively small amount of nitrous, and as long as you follow the jetting recommendations you will be fine.

Do you know how much timing your running NA? As long as the nitrous is wired correctly and the noids are in good working order pull 4-5 degrees. I would alway pull a extra 1 or 2 on the first test hit an then you can always put it back in. Also make sure you have good bottle pressure. We recently had a car come in that the customer wired and installed his own kit and said the nitrous felt funny. Come to find out he had a crappy filled bottle.
