Speed density is the way to go. No more worrying about faulty mass airs.

Speed density tuning gets rid of the MAF, not the O2 sensors. Running with no O2 sensors is called "open loop", and running SD with no O2's is called OLSD.

If you remove the O2 sensors, it will have no feedback to maintain 14.7 AFR. The SD tune needs to be spot-the-****-on in order to run open loop with no MAF.

If you plan on running race gas, I would just look into getting a dedicated fuel cell for the nitrous and run C16 in it or something similar. I'm going to go ahead and guess that you have an intank Walbro and the rest of the fuel system is stock (besides injectors)? If that's the case, you would have to do some serious surgery on the fuel system to get it ready to handle 700+rwhp. With a dedicated tank, you'll only be running race gas through the plate, and the O2's won't ever notice. A dedicated fuel cell filled up will last MULTIPLE bottle refils, since you use only a fraction as much fuel as you do nitrous.

I will have a fuel cell mounted next to the fuse boxes, and it has its own fuel pump. Should be pretty fun, and safety of the system is number one. My cam is pretty small for my motor 238 242 on a 115lsa, but we think it will be in the ball park of 540-550rwhp on motor. Until the fuel cell comes in it will only be pilled for a 150 shot, but once the fuel cell is in we are going to work up to a 250 shot. I need to have them post pictures of my intake before and after the port job. We were all shocked as to how much smaller the intake was compared to my heads.

I'll see if I can find out. I believe everything came from Nitro Daves.
