Juice without a tuner?

ricks01 · June 1st, 2007, 02:24 PM

Can you use a 100hp wet shot without a tuner? My GT has the stock tune right now.
I saw a guy at a car show with an 01 Cobra that had what looked like a wet shot that attached onto the fuel rail pressure port. Is that a common way to connect it?

bad idea - but yes you can do it

TurboLX · June 1st, 2007, 03:25 PM

yes you can do it, and its actually better because you can turn up the fuel to run with the nitrous and do a few other things like advance and retard timing

Thanks guys. I'm just trying to get an idea on how much to budget for a nitrous install. Just wasn't sure how critical it was on a wet shot.

i ran about 12 bottles on my car on a stock tune. that was a 100 wet and a 15lb bottle.

I am currently running a 100 shot on a stock tune. When I drop the 200$ for dyno time and a SCT tune will I notice any difference from what I have now? I have the SCT tuner (without the nitrous tune) and full bolt on’s minus headers and heads. Or will It just be safer to have the nitrous tune?

getting a tune for my setup with the nitrous allowed me to get an extra 40 hp.

and I would recommend getting the tune. last thing you want to do is damage the engine. Plus, what is cheaper?? a $400 tune or a $1500 block?

100 shot on these cars isnt shit. i put 125 to it without a tune just to see if it would do anything. i ran several bottles through it without a problem.

Drgnracin72 · June 6th, 2007, 01:56 AM

itll be much safer. tell that to all the guys whov broke shit on a 100 shot

SWEET2KSTANG · June 6th, 2007, 07:14 AM

there is always a chance for something to go wrong, i never said there wasnt. but yes it will be a lot safer to have.

well im about to be doing it without a tune..whats better going to a dynoshop and getting a tune or getting a handheld tuner??

Bullitt8323 · June 13th, 2007, 02:07 AM

I gained 22hp at the wheels when I went and got my car dyno tuned. The tuner told me the reason is because they can get a more precise tune all the way through the power band than a hand held can.
