Default Dry Nitrous and tuning>>

I am currently running a dry kit and am running on the lean side on the dyno. In order to remedy this I need to add fuel obviously, but that will hurt my N/A tune. Is there any way around this??

depending upon how big a shot you're running,your fuel pump(if stock)might not be able to supply enough fuel and keep the required fuel pressure at the fuel rails and/or your injectors have reached their limits in their ability to supply the proper amount of fuel per cycle.

Look for the thread dry tuning tip. it has info on using fuel adder vs IAT, a way to add fuel only on the spray. Search for threads started by Robert56. If that won't won't work for ya there are other options.

One simple option may be to simply move your nozzle a little closer to the MAF.

Another option is to richen up the load sections of your VE table... the one you will hit while on the bottle only.

A third option is to use a CTS tricker to add coolant enrichment while the nitrous is activated.

There are other ways still.

what kind of dry kit?

Can you raise the pressure on the regulator by changing the jet maybe?
Or even get an adjustable fuel regulator.

Check to see if your fuel injectors are maxed out as well.

You can also use a resistor/pointometer to trick IAT, relay activated upon wot spraying.

Spiking fuel pressure, kinda like boost referenced, to trick injectors into being bigger is also an option. Like the dry LT1 kits.
