MustangWorks.com : Ford Forums - View Single Post - Running my new Nitrous system for the first time this weekend

I just finished up the install of my ZEX kit with the rpm window switch. I will be racing at Norwalk on the 13th using Nitrous for the first time. See my signature for all of my other details. I'm not sure if I will run the 75 shot or maybe the 100 shot. Here are my questions. I am currently running Autolite 3924's and I know that I need to run a colder plug. Should I go with 3923's and what gap? ( I am using 94 octane ) As far as timing goes, I am currently running 16 degrees of initial timing. What should I back the timing down to? 10 degrees? I will have the nitrous come on at 3000 rpms and turn off at 5900 rpm and I'll shift at between 5900 and 6000. I plan on switching the spray on as soon as 2nd gear sticks. Any help that you can offer would be greatly appreciated!

P.S. Any Idea of what kind of times and mph I can expect with the juice???

Thanks!
