Mail Tuning With N20??

Hey guys, merry christmas too, but i am leaning toward puttin nitrous on my car. I have hooker cat-back, bbk headers,cai, and 3.73's on the way. The car has 127,XXX on body but the top end was just rebuilt due to a head gasket, the bottom end was good so didnt have to mess with it. But too the question, i am gunna eventually send the computer (ecu or pcm) lol whateva u wanna call it, to madz28 or pcmforless, but what they do to the computers after they tune them, can you run nitrous through it or is it a bad idea?I am only wanna run a 50 shot and probably never but 100 if some one is talk lol u know what i mean I want a to run NX express.
thx rob

Re: Mail Tuning With N20??

Just tell the tuner how you plan on spraying the car and they'll take care of the timing and anything else. I've been sparying a 125 shot on a mail order tune for 2 years now with no problems. I see that your from the Fort, I live just north of you in Auburn. There are a few of us from here that meet at hooters when the weather is good, and also run our cars down at muncie.

Re: Mail Tuning With N20??

I think you'd be better off having the car tuned for NA performance, then pulling timing out when you spray.

Re: Mail Tuning With N20??

Yeah I understand that, but i kinda wanna not have to send my pcm back twice. Unless i can find a cheap pcm from someone. How much timing would i have to pull.
thx rob

Re: Mail Tuning With N20??

I see, I was gunna do a cam but then decided against it because of how much work it too. I wanna do nitrous, but right now i am leaning toward 3.73 and some other tiny mods and then buying a 70-73 camaro to restore and due up.
thx rob

Re: Mail Tuning With N20??

Was that with the cam you installed or was that without? I ran a 14.4 stock when i bought mine and since have got exhaust,cai,throttle bypass(little i know lol)headers but not on, and hopen 3.73's soon before summer. I wanna do nitrous but i think i may hold off too see what i can find in the way of older camaro or trans am. Plus i just bought a trip to cancun for spring break!wasnt cheap lol but gunna be fun.
peace rob
