WARNING: stupid newb question :WARNING I'd like to run N2O on my 02 T/A, but the best gas we get is 91 octane, so does that have a big effect on how big a shot I can run (looking for a 100 dry)
Any recomendations on what to do to keep it from detonating (timing retard, octane boost, cooler stat, less of a shot)
Sorry for the dumb question
but I really don't want to f**k this up

Well it seems you know what to do. The ruel of thumb is 2 degrees of timing for ever 50 hp of n2o. There are a lot of guys running 91 octane and spraying as long as to take timing out you will be ok if you have scanning softwear to log for kr i would do that.

I think, and a lot of others probably do too. You should be fine with 91 octane and colder plugs on a 100 shot. Anyone disagree? or agree? JMO I run a 150 wet shot on a stock motor, besides the plugs of course. Have not had any problems yet. Good luck, happy spraying.

Verdad Gallardo Turo...I dont disagree at all. I've always used 92, not like a big difference from 91, but I always err'd on the side of caution. Other than burning up a few sets of plugs when I forgot to update the tuning (was running NA tune on the edge 35* 13.3:1afr kind of stuff sometimes) I have never had any mechanical issues. So, I always played it safer than sorry, and recommend it those who dont get into tuning, or are inexperienced.
Speaking of, maybe I should make that a disclaimer in my sig: "The answers I give, are my opinion of how you might want to appoach the problem, and are representative of a safe approach, good luck."
