did you advance the timing try 12-14 degrees also bring the TPS up to 1 full volt for better throttle respose,the timing adjust is good for about 5-9 h.p.

12-14* on nitrous? Isn't that dangerous?

Start with like a 75-100 shot. If you like it as much as I did, Go up to 125-150 and get a regulator and a bigger fuel pump.

I prefer to use strictly NOS stuff. Regulator you can get from BBK

If I was going to make any mods on a motor that didnt plan on being around for a while I would do things that would interchange with the new motor. Throttle body, intake, injectors, mass air, fuel pump, headers, etc... I did the same thing and it all worked out good for me. I have replaced everything you can imagine so if you would like an opinion of a swap I proabably have already done it. Dave

I appreciate the idea, the only problem I would run into with that is im not sure how everything is gonna match up yet with what im gonna be running. I plan on running a 306 that will be about 400hp itself with a ATI Pro Charger with about 14 lbs of boost, so thats gonna put me close to 600hp. I plan on going with an Aroemotive Fuel system. But as in the throttle body, mass air, injectors and headers, im not sure whats gonna match up with it.
