Guys,
I was wondering if i could spray a small shot before i get a tune? My timing is at 28 degrees so i doubt i can spray but i just wanted to double check. I was thinking a 50-75 shot.

What do you think?

 

What are your mods ? I sprayed a 200 shot for 2 years with bolt ons and no tune.

 

how fast did you go and how long did your tranny last?

 

I have bolt ons.

I just want to know if my timing is to high to spray a very small shot.

 

I would say you are fine. But is this a wet or dry shot ?

 

12.0 at 120 on 245/16 street tires. My tranny was already built when i put the juice on.

 

Its a wet shot

 

I say go for it. That small of a shot you should never have a problem.

 

Right now i havent sprayed it because i still dont have a tune. But if i can spray a small shot until i get the money for a tune i would like that. I just want to fill the spray for the first time!

 

Bump....does anyone else have an opinion

 

isn't stock timing like 21 or 24* depending on where the car was built? I don't know but I've heard the reason my car was detonating like a bitch was because it may have had more timing than I thought stock... I'd look into that.

 

It does have more timing than stock. It has 28* because i have a street tune with hp tuners

 

i was spraying a 150 shot for a couple weeks before i could get it in there for the tune. i have lid and longtubes with a dry 150 shot. she worked fine for me.... i dont see why that small of a shot should hurt. do you have all the safety switches??

 

you don't want to advance the timing with nitrous.
if you can switch it back to stock timing, running a 50-75 shot shouldn't be a problem (but keep in mind you'll get knock even with stock timing and no nitrous since we're stuck with 91 octane).

 

his car doesnt knock with 28*... i tuned it haha..

I see you got the itch eh? haha did you get your tr6's in yet? i think your timming is a lil too high for spray

 

i run 28* on 91 octane also without knock, but i did have to take out a few degrees of timing between 2k-4k rpm from the stock tune.

i used hptuners to back the timing off a bit when the nitrous (dry shot) hits.

 

Well If he'll get knock, IMO he shouldn't do it at all. Way too risky, especially with 28 degrees of timing. And being limited to 91 octane out here is a set back.

But what size shot are you running?

And did you take out timing from 2K-4K RPM on the stock tune because you got knock?

 

yea i do want to spray it thats why i made a post. i havent put the plugs in yet but i will soon. it looks like i might have to wait for a tune.

 

any other opinions?

 

On my stock LS1 I sprayed to 100 shot w/ 28° after that I had to pull timing to elimate KR, I pulled 3° from 28 up to a 175 shot.

Now I am at 23-24° for 100 shot with my H/C
