if i buy a plate kit, and run a 75 shot, can i just run colder plugs or am i going to have to back out my tune and run a stock tune again? or can i just change the parameters?

I'd suggest the stock tune.

steve0914

damn i was going to just pm you, so what about the gears and tune... there is is no way to get the best of both worlds?

01GT4.6

ohhh okay. When I said stock tune I mean performance wise (i.e. timing, fuel, global spark, etc) if you just want to make adjustments for like gear ratio and minor stuff then you are fine. Heck you could even bump up the rev limit a tad if you needed to, just don't go crazy on that since you still have the stock motor.

so can i keep the same shift points, firmness, gear and tire ratio? just nothing else

01GT4.6

I would think so. Do you have a handheld tuner? If so you may have to have the guy that tuned your car make a N2O tune for you, which would basically be stock 'type' tune with stock parameters except for those few things if you didn't want to do it yourself. Make sure you still run premium fuel and a 1 step colder copper spark plug like a NGK TR-s (part # 4177) gapped at .035

it was AM, yeah i have the SCT 3, hmmm so do you run your nitrous tune always?

i was told you dont need to retune for nitrous if it was 100 or smaller shot?

01GT4.6

I have 3 tunes (NA,100 & 150) I only run the 100 when I'm NA if I think I might want to play, I'm normally on the NA tune.
you are correct BUT he already has a tune, which more than likely has some advanced timing in it.
