    The "perfomance" mode on your handheld will advance the timing. However pulling 4 degrees out of the tune for a 75 shot would return minimal results.. I would leave the timing stock and just check the plugs after you run it and look for any signs of a lean condition.

    You can wire it to spray anyway you want to. You can grab the instructions for your kit here:

    ive always heard to run a dry shot through the MAF and it should compensate for the extra ''air''

    zex's kit said not to put it at the maf. put it 6 to 8 inches from the tb. the zex box should compensate the fuel since it adjusts the fuel pressure regulator when it hits the n2o

    I have never used Zex, but is sounds way overly complicated for a 75 shot imho.. I am curious how a the fuel pressure is raised via the box. Do you have any information on how that works? From what I have read in this thread so far you need to stay at 75 or below for a while. Sounds like you have a lot to learn about N20. I am not trying to sound negative I just dont want you to end up with burned or cracked exhaust valves or any other failure. Nitrous is a great power adder, however understanding how it works and more importantly how to safely achieve a given power level is a must if you want trouble free performance. Several of us on this forum have used N20 to 200 and even 300 hp gains. The thing is we all started small and most of us blew something up in the learning process. If you dont want to make those mistakes please post up before you try out that next great idea you and your buds come up with!

    When it comes to small shots simpler is always better. Run it through the MAF and on a simple wide open or window switch. Since your truck is DBW put the wide open switch under the pedal
