    First timer...

    I've been installing my nitrous system in fits and starts since around Feb. I've even had the bottle filled in mid-april only to sit in the garage until last night. Between moving and our two kids (youngest is 18 months) I just haven't found the time to get it done. Well last night was the first time I actually put the bottle in the car and went for a little ride.

    WOW!!! What a kick in the ass!

    I've got the Zex setup and it's jetted for a 75 shot currently and I love it. I can see why people go this route...I'm definitely a convert.

    interesting you felt that way. I too took a long time to install it so maybe it built up in my head for a while, but I couldnt even feel the 75 shot when I fired it. I went to the 100 real quick, and am definately happy with it

    My install also took longer then anticipated due to a crappy bottle warmer. I then went with the Dynotune and my first run on a 75 shot was a trip. Lebanon Valley and I went from a pre-N2O best of 13.60 to a 12.72. FlyByU then persuaded me to try the 100 shot and we changed them out in the staging lane. I have run my personal best of 12.51. I had a 1.73 60 ft. It was wild. Enjoy.

    OK, I was jetted for the 75 shot and was using the canned 91 octane CAI tune from the predator. What do I need to change (if anything) for the 100 shot? I see that Zex recommends pulling 2 degrees of timing; but I also assume that the 91 octane tune is adding a bit of timing. What are you all running (or would you recommend running) with a 100 shot?

    Thanks,
    TJ

    I absolutley felt the 75 shot. Hence the 1/4 improvement form 13.6 to 12.72. 100 shot brought me to 12.51 w/ 1.73 60 ft.
