As far as tuning, are you just re-programming between N/A to nitrous tunes or do you have a flip chip of some sort? That is also a concern of mine. I don't want to re-program every time I want to spray.

Im not running a separate tune so Im good to go at any time, granted I have 104 octane in the tank. The knock sensor sensitivity was turned up and programed to act much like a stand-alone timing retard box, its set to retard so many degrees immediately as any pre-ignition is detected. Its interesting and worked well on those 125 shot dyno runs.

Like I posted earlier, the only thing that was added to the maximized NA tune was the increased sensitivity of the knock sensors. If no knock is sensed while I jet around town without the nitrous and Im using 91 Octane, everything is fine. I could spray the nitrous while using just 91 octane fuel but I'd probably kill the set of spark plugs again. The tune was written to remove so many degrees of timing upon nitrous/pre-ignition and not cause any issues.
Im waiting on the exact words from the tuner on what he did with the "retard box" parameter within the tune. I can understand what he did but I may not be using the best of words to properly describe it. I also have to make sure the tune has all the kinks out of it within the next week; shifts points and rev limits are the most important and so far those two points still need to be addressed.
I have been really driving hard around town the last few days since putting the Drag Radials on, its nice not spinning with my foot into it a bit more. Of course this is useful for my datalogging so I can confirm everything is proper. The last thing I want to do is bounce off a rev limiter with a .057 or .062 nitrous jet still spraying.
