I was curious if anyone had any experience with one of these things? I'm going to go with a 100-150shot sometime this year, and I've been told I would need to make adjustments on the timing, and since I don't have any type of tuning software, I thought this might be a handy thing to have.

The LS1 timing tuner has a nitrous control feature including activation delay, timing retard, and activation controls based on rpm. Basically, it says the system is can be optimized for non-N20 driving and when the trigger wire is energized, the secondary settings are activated.

Seems like a nice thing to have so you can optimize both motor passes and nitrous passes. What do you guys think?

 

I looked into that awhile back when I was debating whether I should get a dry or a wet kit. From what I gathered, the timing tuner would be best for a dry kit, but you could also use it for a wet kit too if you wanted. The reason I wanted to get it for a dry kit is so that when N/A I could have full timing and when I activate the nitrous it would take the timing down a bit so you won't go lean and detonate during the nitrous run.
Do a search in the nitrous section, some guys are running it.

 

From what Ive read they work GREAT when they work. Some guys have had problems with failure however

 

i am running one and i like it. it works great with my wet kit. and it is very easy to hook up to. i havent played with the delay yet but it does shut it off and turn it on. i also have it retarding the timng 3 degrees right now and it is working.

 

I was going to use one when I 1st did the n20 but was told by Nelson that I would be fine with a 100 wet shot and the tune that I had and I was! I was running 30 or 31 degrees timing WOT with a 100 shot and was getting no KR and I know that some others are spraying with more timing with no KR. I didnt end up getting it basiclly because I wanted the MSD digital WS and since the Timing Tuner is also a WS I wouldnt make myself do it! I plan on buying one very soon though for the hell of it(for retarding timing only and maybe the n20 delay). It is a good part though! Alot of the F-body guys use them!

 

I have one for my 8.1 but I still waiting on parts to get it running. I'm planning on running allot more than little measly 150hp shot.

 

Just installed mine saturday, very easy install and very easy to tune was worth it to me to be able to keep my motor timing. Money well spent

 

That is a good idea on a big shot unless you just do the NX Maximizer!

 

Good deal. Have you gotten a nitrous pass down yet? I'm really curious, because I'm looking forward to seeing what it is going to do. You're faster than I am, but I'm keeping an eye on your setup to get an idea of where I can take the truck from here.

 

just go and get the fast intake and TB then do the necessary accesory adjustments. you'll pick some power up. lol.
