and now for the soon to be famous..TIP O DA DAY
NITROUS BASICS
there are four variables in tuning nitrous....timing....bottle pressure....fuel pressure...jets
general rules
timing...retard 3 deg for every 100 shot...more tricks here for power
bottle pressure....always use the same pressure...lower bottle pressure will change the tune up...you will not finish the race with the same pressure as you had when you left the line...i always used 1000...we would go to the staging lanes with 1250 cause by the time the wannabe racers broke in front of you and you sit there for an hour you'll lose pressure...if you dont then purge it down...it looks cool...and dont top off bottles...much more on bottles to come i'm sure...there's power there biggrin.gif
fuel pressure...do not ever assume the regulator works...always flow the fuel pressure...with everything else the same it should be your key to tuning...dont grab hunks of fuel pressure at a time...sneek up on it...fp is the key way to adjust a/f ratio
jets...put in the BIGGEST shot you can...nothing looks stupider than a fatass trackrat droppin jets in the heat of the moment...you can always take power away other ways safely...i always used NX and the high pressure tune...always used the jets they spec'd for the power range i wanted
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
