safe hit on a ls1 without pulling timing this question has probably been answered before would a 100 shot on a wet kit be safe without pulling any timing . basically stock ls1 with bolt ons
I wouldn't chance it. There is a guy selling a "Timing Tuner" in the classified section for $200.00. That device will allow you to pull a desired amount of timing, and it also acts as a window switch, not to mention a few other functions.
I'm with you on this one lol

I think he'll be fine. Sure many opinions out there but back in 02-04 I ran my bone stock, untuned 02 Z28 on a 150 shot every Wed and Sat and never had a problem. This car had alot of nitrous run through it. Probably 8-10 runs per night plus alot of street runs.
I ran TR6 plugs checked/changed them frequently and changed my oil every 1500 miles using Mobil 1.
A local guy has this car and still driving it today with no issues. Over 200k on this car right now and doesn't even smoke.
BUT, pulling a few degrees doesn't hurt. Don't underestimate the stock knock sensors. They do their job well and in milliseconds.

If it has a frost tune then you definitely want to pull timing...we were referring to spraying a 100 shot on STOCK timing, not 4-5degrees advanced like most tuners would add to a bolt-on or modified engine.

Just for reference, I have sprayed 100-125hp on factory timing with 93 octane in the tank on several occasions, however, I would always prefer to have the car tuned for nitrous. On an aftermarket tune N/A, you will DEFINITELY have to pull out timing, as mentioned above, because timing is advanced past stock.
