Default Multi Stage Retard for LS1?

I'm thinking of doing a two stage N2O system on my Z28, I've been looking for a box or something that will give me a two or three stage timing retard for a LS1. I can't seem to find anything. I was just wondering if any of you know where I could locate an item like this? I do my own tuning with HP Tuners, is this all there is for the LS1?

Thanks alot, Cole

have you checked any of the timing tuners out there specifically for this?

If you run one of your stages as dry through the MAF then you can handle one stage of retard in the main spark table.
Another option is to use a IAT tricker circuit to handle a stage of retard.
That is if you cannot find a decent timing tuner that will do more than one stage.
There's more than one way to skin a cat.

This is true. I'm not a fan of the dry shot method. This is going to be a TNT Power Ring kit with a fogger. 200 with the ring and then 250 or 300 with the fogger, on a built motor of coarse.

The IAT tricker can work with wet or dry.
You don't rely on the actual sensor output, hence the name 'tricker'

I'm assuming that Nitrous outlet sales the IAT Tricker?

The only thing we sell at this time to adjust the timing on the LS1 is the timming tuner.

If you guys go to the links section of my web site there is some info/wiring schematics on setting up timing trickers. you can get everything at RadioSmack.

The idea is to switch on the fly from the actual IAT sensor to a resistor or potenciometer. Once you can tell the PCM the air temp level that you wish, you then go into the IAT vx SA table and put in your desired spark advance or retard using Edit or another tuner.
