    Autolite 103's, NGK TR6's, these plugs are colder than stock. You can get a timing tuner to take the timing out only when the nitrous is activated. This is so it does not interfere with the n/a tune.

    How much do you plan on spraying......? Also what fuel pump and are you running a adj. regulator or is it all stock...?
    If it's a wet kit you can get away with a 100 all day with "stock" timing....... If you have the Diablo tune it already advanced your timing so be carefull there!!!
    Don't be afraid of the bottle!!! Be afraid of your tune!!!

    NOS Tuning

    I am running a stock fuel pump. I have changed the timing back at WOT by what it says 2%. Running jets 34 fuel and 54 N2O for a 125 shot.

    I agree with the timing tuner, I love mine, very easy to install and works like a charm.

    2% is alot for only 125 shot......Let's say it had 38* total that means your pulling 7.6* out which is way more than you need to!!! 1% would be fine. You don't know what your fuel pressures at....?

    maybe my math is off, but 2% is only .76*. 20% is 7.6*

    Your right....... I was thinking 20% in my head all the early Predators I used were 10%,15%,& 20% ect. for timing adjustments.
    But it has been years since I used one on a pcm that old they are good with coming up with updates to download from there site.

    Harris Speed Works sells them, on their site go to Nitrous controllers, and pick window switches and timing tuners, they are $250. Many places sell them, but HSW has top notch customer service.

    So if I am reading this right my stock timeing is 38* and I need to get 2* @WOT reterted. So what % do I need to back off my timing my math really sucks. I have steped up to a high flow fuel pump w/pressure guage in a piller pod.

    38* x 5% (.05) = 1.9* so, in your handheld select -5%.
