Talking Nitrous question

Here in the very near future, I'm planning to bolt on a 75hp shot of nitrous. I haven't made up my mind yet on which brand, but I decided on a dry system. My question is, which spark plugs work best with a nitrous set up. I'm hearing good things about the colder plugs. Also, I have my timing cranked up with my Diablo Tuner... would it be best to retard the spark back down? Any help would be much appriciated. I'm an absolute NITROUS NOVICE.

When it comes to using nitrous, read all you can....make yourself smart.

You should use colder plugs and NEVER spray with your timing advanced. You should retard your timing about 2 degrees with a 75 shot from stock.

You should go 1 step colder for every 50 shot for the plugs. Rule of thumb.

I use NGK TR6 plugs they are part number 4177. They are cheap, copper, and one step colder then stock.

Like he said put the timing back to stock timing tables, do not run advanced timing on the bottle.

Why dry shot if you don't mind me asking?

Oh and a small hi-jack I'll be ordering an NX mainline kit for my birthday on June 4th

Mainline is the shiznit for the $$$....

Go with a wet system. You will regret buying that dry system whatever it is. Just buy a wet system like a cheap NX mainline w/ a genx2 kit and a window switch. Even better you can go with an NOS EFI kit. Edelbrock makes REALLY nice kits also.

Oh and your sig says you have an 85mm throttle body??:shifty:

That's what I've been hearing too. A fellow sixer made 250rwhp and 350rwtq on a 75 shot from his kit

The only thing is that the solenoids arent as nice of quality as the normal NX solenoids but they will work probably just as well. Also they will only flow enough nitrous for a 100shot, But you wont be running more than that im sure....
