their tune will have ur timing set up, if you set itback down to at least -2 you should be able to use it, Im not 100 percent sure though

He said it had a n2o tune, just talk to them and make sure that the timing is retarded.

Doesn't matter.....i've seen enough nitrous cars tuned to know that you need a custom tune if you plan on them running well and living long. [8D]

Def. get a dyno tune. Canned tunes arent worth the hassle.

(unless its from modular powerhouse of course)

Always get a dyno tune when adding any kind of power adder just for safety. If nothing else have it on a dyno to have a wideband check.

Throw it on the dyno and do a couple of pulls with a/f check.. If it seems to check out fine, then you'll be ok..

You don't even have to get a dyno to check a/f. Go to a local garage you know and they probably have a Snap-On Live Diagnostic tool they can hook up for you. It reads all that stuff. They might be able to set your timing back, not too sure though. They only charge a 1 hour minimun and it should take 20min. topps. So for $75 you can sleep at night
