Tune for 100 Shot?
Hey all,
I continually find good deals on nitrous systems. I was going to save for a SC, but I always wanted a nitrous setup. I like the power on demand and otherwise normal NA setup all the other times. However, I scrapped that idea since I was under the impression you needed flip chips and all that jazz to reliabely run nitrous. Recently, I caught news that if your just running a 100 shot (VENOM type) you don't really need to switch your tune prior to the run. A WOT switch is still a good idea, but past that a tune is not needed - past what you use for NA driving/racing.
What do you all think?
Take care,
Ceyko

Most people I know use an RPM Window Switch for safety and dont "tune" it... I'm not sure about your stang but us Fbods have to run a colder plug for our cars when we run nitrous, NGK TR-6s is what we use. IMO a SC is better in the long run because that is REAL power on DEMAND, no filling a bottle or anything... and plus, you can't run it all night long, so unless you are planning on running mulitple bottles, and bringin a few extra with you... you can't run your car as much as you want... you've only got enough for the first few sprays... I would go SC...

I don't think he's complaining about having to flip a switch or asking for opinions.
Like him, I don't want to put out all the cash and time to get stuff installed and then not be able to use it safely until you get a tune.
You can run a small 50 shot or 75 shot with colder plugs and a stock tune, but really the best thing you can do is get a tune and use a flip chip.

You'll definatly need a tune for running any amount of nitrous.
Don't listen to your friends buddy or whatnot saying It's A-OK to run a power adder without any type of fuel management done, or timing retard blah blah.
It's best to get it tuned on the dyno and a flip chip installed, the reason that you strayed away from n2o.
