Re: here goes nothing
Is this going on a manual or automatic crossfire? I would practice my nitrous tuning on a cheaper engine, say something like a honda or what ever econo box is available cheap.
Be careful with your 6 speed, Don't activate or have the system activated when you hit the stock rev
limiter. The stock rev limiter is a fuel cutoff. If you cut fuel while you're injecting nitrous,
you're instantly very lean. This momentary lean condition has the potential of causing
engine damage.
Quite often, a factory type wide-gap projected nose
plug will produce a detonation condition after a
few seconds of nitrous use. The detonation is not
due to the heat range, it occurs because the
ground strap of the spark plug becomes a glow
plug instead of a spark plug. The ground strap is
too long to dissipate the extra heat produced by a
nitrous accelerated burn. The correct solution is to replace the plugs with units that have
shorter ground straps. By doing this, you will shorten the heat path from the ground strap
to the plug base. ZEX™ Hyperformance™ spark plugs are recommended for many
applications.
