Do you need to be able to switch around your a/f maps to spray? My concern is I have the base model w/out cruise control so I can't switch on the fly?
Can I still spray?

general rule of thumb is to pull 1 or 2 degrees of timing for every 100 you are spraying

i now have no compression in cyl #4, in the process of building a fully bolted NA and will get a professional tune for a 150 shot

Actually, general rule is 2* per 50 shot. I pulled timing and it didn't help.

^ And that's a rarity. All other Zs have had no issues (for future reference).

Also, +1 on pulling 2º of timing for every 50 shot.

Wow, be careful bro, might want to do it all wet, I'd also move the nozzles a little closer to the throttle body too. But either way, that's cool, bet it feels good

it has worked good so far for me so im not gonna change it yet. i have thought about switching the 2nd stage to a 50 wet but i havnt done it yet. and with this new intake the nozzles are both about 2 inches closer than what they were with my old intake.

but yea i drove it lastnight and it felt real good. i cant wait to get it back to the track. maybe i can make that #1 time harder to get.

eh i always did 1-2 per 100 on my camaros and never had a problem, outside of the stock 305 with a performer rpm air gap running a 300 shot through a jacobs mastermind controller(was a 75 shot at 3000 rpms, 300 shot from 5500-6500.) pulled 6 degrees of timing and ran the coldest copper plugs i could find for it melted a piston after about 26 passes down the quarter. was fine once i had it bored and switched the cast pistons for hyper's

Just curious, why did you chose that set up? Why not a single 125 shot wet?

i read about the main problem with nitrous isnt the hp hurting the engines. its the torque.

so i have a 100 wet on a wot switch right off the line. and then have the 25 dry on a button, that i engage in second gear. just playing it safe. but im still on stock timing. stock tune. just raised the rev limiter to 7200 but i have 1 step colder plugs. i may move it to a 125 wet +25 dry in the future. but its working great for now and i have the fastest nitrous time right now. and i just did a bunch of changes on the car. im hoping to hit 11.5x on a 125 this fall.

wait, when is your 100 engaging? off idle or a certain rpm?

and dry shot is not considered safer, a 125 wet would be safer than a 100 wet and 25 dry

well i launch out at about 6k and soon as i move i go full throttle and it comes on.

i have had it on the dyno and the a/f was around 12.8-13.2 with both shots on.
that was making 360/380 to the wheels on a dynojet, running stock map with rev limiter raised. that was also before longtube headers, ported lower plenum, takeda intake, ported tb.

i will go to the dyno next week one day and redyno it.
