Default Hit the nitrous for the first time!

Yep, thats right boys and girls, I finally got it hooked up. Tried to spray it with the fuel pressure safety switch but it wouldn't spray for some reason even with it on a low setting. So I bypassed it because its only a 50 shot and I just put in a new fuel pump. So how was it? Okay, considering I was basing it on how it normally runs with me alone in the car (my brother was with me) and I backed of the timing to about 9* just to be safe. I could definitely feel it. Before, I could stomp it in 1st and it wouldn't spin but now it just lights em' up. Second still hooks and feels pretty good.

And yes, I want to put the 75 shot in and see how it feels, but I won't. I know I have to take it slow. I think I will go through this bottle, check the plugs, and get the fpss fixed, and then up the jetting. What do ya'll think?

You don't need to take out 9* of timing... That's way too much. Your car is a slug like that. I believe all you need to take out is 2-4* for every 100 hp... I'll look into it.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant I backed it from 15* to about 9*. I know I'm supposed to only back it off 2* for every 50hp of nitrous, but its only what, 5 horsepower, and I feel safer with that setting. There really was no loss of power from the butt meter in N/A form. I just hate setting the timing, and would rather only do it once for a while.

If you have an MSD box, invest in the timing control knob! It's only about $80-$100 if I remember correctly. When I wanna spray, I simply turn the timing down by a knob on my dash.Now that's convenient!

And don't be a wuss! I spray 125hp on a stock 160,000 mile motor on 93 octane & 8* initial timing. I've heard of stock motors holding 175hp shots with no problem, but I'm not going to try it!

the Malory VI ignition box has a timing retard for nitrous plus a bunch of other stuff(window switch, boost retard, start retard, two rpm limiters etc.) and they're cheap too. Maybe you should look into something like that. I use one they're a nice little unit
