) How do you tune for N2O through the Radix? If you go after the MAF, how does the PCM know whats coming in? Do you have to set it up so that every WOT run is setup as if it was getting N2O even when your bottle is empty or turned off? I know the WOT switch controls if N2O actually gets sprayed, but what tells the computer to adjust timing, etc..? Not ti hijack but I think if I/we understood the concept a little better maybe I would be willing to try it out...

Then the 02's should see the A/F drop. Basically you are relying on the PCM to fuel it.

If I do a wet kit the MAF is out of the pic because I would be spraying after the MAF. Being wet, the fuel will already be there but how does the computer know and adjust timing for the extra fuel and higher octane? Does the PCM have to wait until the O2 sensors pick it all up? That seems like it would take a second to respond. Now... a 50 dry shot before the MAF I understand.

This subject is really over my head. I think with a wet kit at WOT it will follow the Main Spark vs. Airflow vs. RPM table for timing at WOT. Which should be tuned. Problem is if you tune for NOS it would be wrong when you don't run the NOS.

With the Radix the IAT sensor is after the blower. And you can adjust the timing based on the lower IAT readings. Outside air temps will play into the IAT as well. Most of the timing you'll need to pull will be at the top end for 125 shots and less.
Yes, but only for the IAT range that you set the lower timing values for. I've attached a IAT spark table
Arg the files to big I'll do it later unless someone else can post one..

I think blown may have said something about destrying the coating on the lobes with meth, but I don't recall anything about N2o.

You'd have to ask a chemist. N2O is stored in aluminum cylinders sometimes and they dont break down and explode or leak. Blown is the one who told me that N2O was gonna eat up the Radix. Maybe its a different alloy mix. My heads don't look or feel anything like the radix housing, and yes, they are both aluminum.
