You cant just load another tune from another car and think its going to work when dealing with nitrous especially on a 300 shot. You will need to get the correct heat range plugs, and have it tuned by reading the plugs either on a loaded dyno or at the track on nitrous.

I would get your car custom tuned. When I got hp tuners, i downloaded a tune from a car with the exact, and i do mean exact, mods as mine. I thought I would only have to make minor adjustments. Nope. Wrong. When I was done tuning, the 2 files looked completely different when comparing. Granted, the tune I downloaded was way closer than the factory tune.

Its so much better having a custom tune for your exact mods instead of having a tune flashed from another car.

EDIT: Contact Frost and talk to him about getting a mail order tune. I don't know what he does for nitrous but everyone seems to love his work. Cheaper than $350 IIRC and probably will be better.

TR6 isn't cold enough for a 200 shot.

Hoping isn't good. Acdelco OEM pump might not cut it. Always better to have more pump than hope you have enough.

The airamotive 340 pump I bought from summit don't seem to hook up tho and of I did hook it up it would b so high on the fram of the old pump that I would have to keep my tank full to keep the fuel running threw it.. can't find a video on the pump to see how to install it correctly. . Any help on that would be great

cant get it to hook up like plug in? or what? all the aftermarket pumps, including stock replacement pumps sold at local auto parts stores, usually have a plug that you have to wire in. Its super easy. Unless you mean something else
