Default getting back into the nitrous game

been since I first bought the car and I put this kit on the car


my problem was that the ****** pinged and detonated HARD on a 150 shot, 125... was fine on a 100 shot but had this **** in the car



109 I believe it was. I was told it was in the tune, but may have been related to the plugs.

So I guess I'm gonna take a chance and run it on 75 and jet up, and see if I can't get a base tune and just run it with some timing out all the time.

Got a great deal on a nitro dave's kit so I can't wait to get some numbers. Gonna try to make this ****** pretty sneaky

I never had the car tuned. on the dyno it was only for a/f and numbers. the tune was rich and it made killer numbers. the plugs were tr6's but were all weird gaps. now they are fresh TR6's gapped at .032

man i need to take more pictures and buy more tools haha. wasn't able to do **** with the stuff I had on hand except assemble the solenoids, mount the relay and pull the rear passenger side seat. Luckily most everything is pre-drilled/tapped from the last kit but I can't remember where I put **** or how it was wired. Oh well I'll hit up vato-zone and deal with it tomorrow.

so after 170 bucks at walmart the kit is about 90% installed. I forgot I don't have a drill or anything to make a hole in my smooth bellows, so I need to borrow one of those and get the bottle filled
