35 shot without a tune. is it safe?
as much as i hate to do it i would love to have a little extra from my cobalt and am thinking of getting a sniper 35 wet kit. im new to nitrous and am a little scared of hurting my car. is tuning realy required for such a small 35 shot. im getting tuned in a few days so i wont have time to get the kit and put it in by then and i already have been waiting over 3 weeks for my appointment to get into db performance so changing the appointment is out.
heres my mods. 2.6 pully, 60 injector, K&N CAI, vibrant 4-2-1 header with 3'' catless downpipe, magnaflow catback with no resonator, duel pass, zzp stage 3 front mount heat exchanger, GMPP upgraded clutch, mild blower porting, zzp trans mounts.

from what I recall reading a dry kit is the way to go with the LSJ. Usually, in an N/A car you wouldn't need a tune, especially with a wet kit. I ran a 75 wet shot regularly on maxima with no "tune" for it. no issues.

i thinka dry shot i would have to tune, because you would have to tune the car to give it more fuel when when you spray it. where a wet shot sprays fuel and nitrous. witch would be less likely to have a tune right? correct me if im wrong ive never ran nitrous.

However, why not run the GM S3 ECU w/ has a map for nitrous? IIRC, Trifecta and maybe someone else has unlocked that ECU allowing you to also have A/C (which GM had turned off to deter street use). It supports a 50shot. Basically if the conditions are "safe" it will spray, if it detects knock, it will cut the spray.
I would do this right if you plan on running nitrous. Even a small shot is nothing to take lightly. This is your motor we are talking about. Do your research, get the necessary supporting mods and do it right. JMO of course...

usually with such a small shot, the car can compensate for it. That was my experience w/ the VQ-series motor anyways.

thanks for a real reply. i just wont run it. its funny how some people get so offended over nothing. im just looking for some insight and im not a moron im an ase and g.m. certified tech but never messed with nitrous. saying a dry shot is safer then a wet shot and telling me i need to spend tons of money on an overpriced ecu i dont need tells me some other people dont know much about this stuff either.

im guessing these where wet shots? how much did you have to richen the car and how much timing did you have to take out for the 60 shot?

YOU'RE not getting it. you only need the GM stage 3 file, not ecu. I already stated you would probably be fine with such a small shot anyways. But in the end, you will want to run a higher shot...all of us who've run nitrous before have.

this car is my gas milage vehicle that i drive daily. i have a 80 mile drive to work every day. its realy not worth it to me to hurt the thing. if i could drop a degree of timing and my afr is ok, i would be ok im guessing. but i realy dont need to chance it. but boy it would be fun and inexpensive.
