need some nitrous and tuning advise

im up at wyotech in blairsville right now and come this weekend my project car will be here. first with the car. it is a 95 formula m6 with fuel pump, exhuast, clutch, blaster coil, 1.6 rockers and custom ground nitrous cam. i have quite a bit of mods planned but first is the gas. i have a nitrous works wet system for it. now it has ran on juice before but was usually ran dry. im still not 100 percent sure about specs on the fuel pump yet. i want some opinions on things like running it wet or dry. i cant decide. from what i was told the directions had fuel and nitrous jet specs but the car ran like **** when the recomended jets were ran. also the cam just went in so never been ran on nitrous in this car. i am thinking of running 100 shot. should i go bigger? now i only have full throttle switch and adjustable fuel press. reg. no safety switch or window switch. note these will be coming but i want to run this as safely as possible. what should i do with timing and such things like this. also i already have some tr6 plugs. come march i will have a chance for dyno runs and tunning when i get into chassis fab and engine building, but i want to get an early start. feel free to throw out some advise.

Re: need some nitrous and tuning advise

Since you already have a wet kit it might make the most sense to stay with that. The whole wet vs dry is a hard one, both work. I personally think it comes down to what direction you want to go with the vehicle. If you decide to stay with the wet kit you can get the jetting dialed in on the dyno, as long as you are also looking at your A/F. As far as puling timing, has your PCM been tuned? If so, what all was done? If timing was added then you might want to pull a few degrees when you spray it. Find out what was done to the fuel system, if anything. If it's stock I'd suggest upgrading it, to a Racetronix kit for instance. Defiantly use a window switch along with a FPSS, and if you stay with a wet kit pick up a bottle heater too. Good luck with it!

Does the pump have a "hotwire" on it?

Since you are putting acam in you will need tunning. I would plan ahead and get a Ignition box so that you can pull timming on the nitrous and run the best N/A tune possible also.
