Default )/tuning question

have A4 - 3600 tq convertor/heads/cam(218/224)/headers - will present tune work if a double shot (75 and 75) of nitrous is added? heads are cnc'd243's w/ double gold springs. will a/f ration be affected and will computer simply compensate for the presence of the nitrous? will it take some of the timing away?

So you're trying to do a dry shot through the MAF? Per Robert56, The MAF reads velocity and temperature, then computer makes adjustment as needed. So on a dry shot the computer makes adjustment for a/f mix according to bottle press/lb's left, and utimately adjusts fuel to when bottle is empty so as not to run pig rich.
Unless you have the IAT sensor vs spark table set to yank timing in your tune, it will not yank timing.
You will also need to make sure you have the proper fuel supply available i.e. injector and pump to support the little red button.
