I'm thinking on starting out at a 100 shot and i'm looking into buying the timing tuner. what i'm looking to find out is, is the timing tuner worth buying if i'm only going for a 100 shot? if i just retard the timing for the N2O how much would it affect my n/a tune?

 

The key word was "STARTING" with a 100 shot. Very few guys can "stay" at any safe level, because N2O is addicting. I installed a TT and keep 125 jets in mine, but if I need, I can change jets and amount of retard in about 3-5 min.
I also use mine for setting min and max rpm spray, just to make sure I don't spray too low and damage the engine or slap the rev limiter. (Not a good thing with N2O)

 

I highly reccommend the Timing Tuner. I really like it as it is a Programmable window switch, a N2O Delay that helps you get traction and plant the tires to the ground before the N2O hits making it a little nicer to the 10-bolt, and the fact that you can run advanced timing while on motor and safe timing while spraying. It really is a cool device and I can't imagine using N2O without it. Also whatever you end up doing be sure to monitor the A/F with a wideband or on a Dyno the first couple of times! Make sure it's right before you start spraying...... Have fun.......

 

i've got one for sale if ya want it. PM me

 

I was just about to ask the same question, glad I looked around first. I have a shop willing to dynotune and install a timing tuner for 450. just not sure I need it with a 100 shot. how much will we actually lose on motor with just the normal dynotune?

 

IMHO you will lose alot. You will lose the window switch and the "as I have found to be very important" Delay function. Maybe it's just me but $250 is not that bad for everything this unit has. To answer your direct question, I don't think you will lose much HP from the retarded timing, Maybe around 10 RWHP. I think what you should be more concerned with is the safety and adjustability that you will lose by not running it.

 

thanks guys.. you officially talked me into getting one lol
