I am going to tune my car with LS1 Edit and try to get the most power I can on motor. For when I spray I am going to activate my RamChargers Timing Tuner to pull timing but want to know how much I should. I dont want to pull too much cause then it will hurt my N/A performance. Does anyone know how much hp you lose for each timing pulled?
I do not pull any timing out with my 150 NX wet system. Acording to NX you should not have to until you get over 150, but you should be using good fuel, at least 91-93 octane depending on your elevation. But I also run my engine at 170' degrees instead of the factory 210.

Really
I didnt know that if you dont have your car tuned or mess with the timing at all you will be ok with the stock timing and a 150 shot.
What thermostat you running? I will need to advance some timing to make the most power N/A. Whenever I spray I usually put 3-4 gallons of race gas.

The only problem I have been having with my car is the fuel pressure drops off a little after I get into top gear. I have the fuel pressure safety switch, so I feel the nitrous kicking on and off and on and off. Also, at first I thought it was making my tranny slip when shifting from 1-2 and 2-3, but finaly figured out it was the tires blowing loose while shifting gears. I need better tires. I get all of my Nitrous info from Dave at Nitrous Express. You can get on their web sight and contact them. The number on the sight is to their Witchita Texas office, they can then give you his number. He is out of Tennesse. He is their Computer car guy. He really knows his sh@#t. Good luck and have a blast!
