new 2 NOS
I just put A Cold Fusion wet kit on my 95 Vette, with auto trans. I am running A 125 hp shot. It is pinning badly. Will the Crane Fireball box work on the stock ignition system? Is it hard to hook up ? Remember the 95 is A transition year for some of the engine controls.. I have been told this by people who could not get there scanners to work on my car. If anyone knows the answers for sure ,please help. Or am I better off calling Crane directly ??

I can not comment on the crane box but pinging is not good.
Check your engine timing because it may need retarding.
Are you running better grade gas when you are hitting the nitrous?
What engine temparature are you running when you engage the nitrous?
These are some quick things that come to mind and if you are good on all 3 of these let us know and we will try to help you further.

Hi 95,
The Crane will work for you. I use the HI-6R because it is fully encapsulated and unaffected by water. Each year LT1 the ignition wiring varied. I make and sell complete Plug-N-Play wiring harnesses for each year LT1. You can choose to locate the Crane in either headlamp cavity. You can see photos and pricing on my website, "blowerworks.net". I prefer the Crane over the MSD for several reasons. Best regards, Greg

I cant comment on the lt1 ingition system
but what about plugs and gaps?
did you swap out to different plugs and close the gaps?
how is the ignition system anyhow? do you think you may have a coil issue?
just stating the obvious, dont hit the nitrous again till you do some stuff to fix this. detonation (pinging) with a power adder usually = new engine.

Since I spray only once in a while, wouldnt I lose power when I run normally? I will try colder plugs. Also I havent sprayed since I added L/T headers and smaller plug gaps.

I would advise to run ngk tr6 plugs with a .35 gap.
What gas are you running? 91, 92?
setting your timming with a tuner would drop your timming all around.
if you can get one of those boxes that tie into the ignition system that allow you to manually drop timming, it would be your best bet for the street light racer.
going to the track I suppose a tuner would work great.
another thing to consider, your pinging and the stock ignition is not pulling timing out to stop it.
maybe you need to fatten up the fuel jet a step or 2 to richen it up.

running 93 Oct. gas. I think the MSD , or Crane ignition box is a better answer than Tuner Cat since they automaticly back off the timing to what ever works best [once figured out] by wiring it to the nitrous solinoid, so timing is only affected when spraying. I am running sugested jets,I think 52-nitrous , 31-fuel ... Thanks for the help--95 blue pig

You need to fill out your sig.I did not bring my crystle ball tonight.
You never mix one company's nitrous jets with the other.Nos ,NX,Cold Fusion.
If it pings I would check to see if the fuel is at the noid and with the nitrous off when you hit it the car should fall on it's face.If it does the fuel is working.
When it pings eather the computer is not pulling timing or you are running lean.
Check all your vaccum lines(ie) the one under the cover (plastic) on the passenger side.
Right now without more info make sure all your plugs are tight.
The best plug to use with your motor is the NGK B8EFS gaped to .35.
Make sure your throttle body bolts are tight.
Their is a distinct differance between a ping and a blaha sound that the engine will make when something is wrong with the nitrous.
Make sure all the intake bolts are tight.Pinging is an air leak somewear.
