from the reading i've done on this forum...higher timing and NOS don't go well together. your engine will be at a higher risk for detonation. Not safe at all.

NOS works better with lower timing.

TravWS6, Nitrous is much safer when using colder range plugs and less timing. Go to "Colonel's N2O Files" for some very good nitrous information.

I have the same question, i have a Hpp3 and a granatelli maf... and im putting a 5177 kit on my car soon. I will be running N/A 98% of the time.. My question is.. Would it be ok to unprogram the HPP3 when using N20, and Put it back when im not using it... And is it ok to keep the GMAF on, without the HPP3, and running a 85 shot of N20.. Also.. i just put in TR55's.. i know TR6's are ideal.. but will my car work out ok with the TR55's and small shot (85 jets)?????

Get the TR6's, you will not suffer to much NA. It will be a good safety measure when you do spray. The power tuning of the HPP3 does not mix with NOS, TNT, NX or any other "Nitrous" kits...

Ill get some TR6's soon... And when i use the nitrous, ill deprogram the HPP3 but continue to use the Granatelli MAF... I know its safer to use TR6's, but would it be ok for a few passes on the TR55's? Im anxious.. hehe.. Like i said, im running a small shot.. only 85.. That should make a difference.. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Confused]" src="images/icons/confused.gif" />

Just a little warning...
