No, The Interface won't know if the engine is knocking or anything. If you set it to pull 3 degrees out it'll pull 3 degrees when the N2O is activated. The timing will still follow the same curve as what you have programmed in the timing table, just minus the amount retarded.

Sorry, Matt. I know I didn't explain myself very well. I may be thinking too far out there.
What I really wanted to know is that do you set the retard to say -4 degrees and it pulls that much timing all the time or does it actually vary the amount of timing pulled as necessary? I suspect that it doesn't as it'd need to interface with knock sensors and such to determine if more timing needed to be pulled.

Man I take a break from the LS1 world for about a year and when I come back theres all these goodies. The thing that interests me on this is how you claim it would help a dry kit user w/ bad nozzle placement. My nozzle placement is probably not the best but I'm wondering how exactly this thing helps me in that respect. When you dial in the size of the shot you're running what does your toy do? Does it adj the amount of fuel thats thrown into the mix? What if I'm running too rich due to nozzle placement, does it adj for that? My biggest worry is obviously running lean but I've never seen anyone w/ nozzle placement so I dont know what to expect. I guess what I'm asking is will this product help even things out in both rich and lean scenarios due to nozzle location (pre maf).

I'm thinking about running dual nitrous noids (for safety reasons) and spray after the MAF with the interface.

That is exactly right. It's pretty hard to be running excessively rich on a dry kit, The Interface was designed more for bad nozzle placement (running lean) and for giving you the option of running the nozzle post MAF (hidden set ups/ Dry Direct Ports).

If your running rich because of nozzle placement then you need to turn your nozzle a little away from the maf. If your running lean then you can ad fuel by adjusting the interface. I think it's set up by HP. For example if your adding a 100 dry and running 12.8 A/f fuel. I think you could set the interface to a 25-50shot and richen it up. I could be wrong but thats what it seems like to me.

I'm confused...
U put the dry plate on AFTER the MAF and lets say u wanna run a 100HP pill...
Now what does the interface do to correct fueling to make sure u dont go lean..
I understand I can pull lets say 2 degree's of timing as soon as the nitrous is activated (3200RPM) but how does the interface tell the injectors to static up or ramp up fueling?
Okay so I'm running the proper injector and or intake pump for the given total hp (LETS SAY 450RW NA AND ANOTHER 100 RW FROM N20 = ROUGHLY 600RW) then its back to the interface to make the proper adjustment to keep the A/F safe?
HOW DOES IT DO THIS AFTER THE MAF?
I had DFI GEN VI controlling my dry N20 and it worked flawlessly so thats why I wanna know how this little box is doing it?

Yes you can put a dry plate After the MAF and use the interface to add additional fuel rather than relying on the MAF. The interface is plugged in line with the MAF and adjusts fuel to what you want it to be. It works through the MAF to control the injector pulse. If you want to run a 100 shot then you set the interface to a 100 shot. The interface goes in increments of 5hp. So if you find yourself running a little lean, then you simply adjust it another increment to bring the A/F back down. I think it’s a lot easier to adjust the interface then pull fuel jets to move your A/F one way or the other.

Yes, it can be used in all those applications. even in this case it isnt necessary, the interface goes up to 315 hp, but can be custom ordered to go beyond that. so there really is no situation where you couldnt use it after the MAF.

Correct. It can also be used with wet kits, for instance if you had a lean spike you could add a little fuel to counter it, or if you didn't want to swap 8 fuel jets on your DP you could add a little more fuel via the Interface. So it does have a ton of uses, it just shines in the dry area.

Matt, would it be possible to elongate the wiring harness so you could stick the controller box in the glove box? I have my FJO controller in the glove box and would love to be able to stick this in there with it. It'd clean up the engine bay nicely to not have another controller box mounted in there, as my Timing Tuner (which the Interface is going to replace) is located.
