Default N2O + Nismo Cams = What tune?

I've done plenty of searching for the past couple of days on any forum that came remotely close to this topic. I even tried Google and other search engines, but no luck.

The closest result I got were a couple of other threads asking similar questions, but they ask about turbo setups with cams. So instead of hi-jacking their thread, does anyone know if there is a tune/program/tunner/member who has tuned their car for Nitrous w/Nismo cams (or any other aftermarket cams)?

I haven't really ran my car at the track after the cam instal and been itching to give it a try but I'm not ready to blow my block yet. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure of the ideal AFR for NO2 (been looking myself out of curiosity)... But if you're NA (even with cams) you'd want your AFR somewhere between mid 12's and 13. Of course, with aftermarket cams, you'd also need a complete new dyno tune to adjust for new timing, AFR's, knock, etc.

Thanks Gothchick. I agree with the info you stated, I was just wondering if there was program that was friendly to this question, i.e. had maps for this situation.

Z4lif3, I look forward to your results and any other info you can provide.

The closest I personally have done was dyno'ing my car with different N2O jets. So instead of running the recommended NOS 125shot jets, we played with the jet sizes while on the dyno.

The problem I keep on having is my car runs pig fat at first then it leans out towards the end. As you can see this not only costs me power but also a concern towards the end of each gear, hence not running at the track.

I was hoping maybe Utec or any other program/flash may have had addressed this issue.

you can definitely control the AFR with the utec on top of the jets, just use the jets to get you close to what you need and the utec to add fuel in with the injectors for the rest of it...

Correct me if I'm wrong. With the Utec I'll be able to have different maps, right? So I'll have a street tune so I can drive me car on the streets, and another tune for nitrous on the tracks?

I just hate knowing that my car is not optimizing its mods!!! The backfire sounds cool at times, but just happens to remind me to get my ish tuned soon!
