    Thanks, I saw this on AZ website, but it doesn't have the timing spec, or the offset that is specified... I think it is -20degs offset prior to startup, but i don't know what I am shooting for w/ the final timing spec. It is a 7.3L w C6 trans. Dylan

    nitrous is like a HOT chick with an STD, you want to hit it hard but youre afraid to.

    I'm not looking for "balls out", just a conservative "nudge". Even if I had a turbo(which I would love but ain't got the $$$) I wouldn't be getting crazy with the boost. I dont have the $$$ for a turbo so consequently I dont have the $$$ to unscatter the pieces. I already had to replace the...

My thought wasn't to chill the intake charge as much as it was to get the O2 into a higher concentration...

It is brass with a kidney shaped 3 pin plug and says 1000W on it. I could use a cord for it as this truck is eventually going to live in the snow...
