Default LT2 on Nitrous

While doing a little digging around, I found this old video from 2013. Because there won't be tuning options available for the computer right away, I've been kicking the idea around of alternatives.

Nitrous Express had this kit released within about a month of the C7 being available to the public.

The kit installs a sandwich plate between the manifold and the throttle body. A dual port on the side supplies fuel with an adapter T'ed off the factory fuel system and the giggle gas from the bottle. Without any other modifications or tune it picks up around 110whp with a 100shot nozzle. With the LT1 and LT2 being pretty similar in internal architecture, it seems feasible that spray would perform about the same.

Just hypothetical at this point. I've never ran the bottle on any car previously. Anyone have any related experience? Seems like a good number of folks off 1320video have it these days. Thoughts?

Is it possible that a module could be used to retard the timing for a 150+ shot? Or do you just keep doing dyno pulls with increasingly bigger nozzles until the AFR works out to a good number? Just interested in the plans for the new kit.

and your ALL sure there is NO way for GM to see 100wrhp increase in their new cray computer system?

I bet they have gas monitors to see how many times I break wind in the cabin.....

another brother in the squeeze... same here, as soon as it arrives we'll try small shot and see how the computer likes it.. feed it 50 probably first with piggyback enrichment until people figure out ecm .watch egt/af and bump it lil by lil.. gonna be fun

what are you thinking for bottle placement? im considering up front with 2 smaller bottles.

IAT resistor switch? Trick the ECM into thinking it is pulling in 140°+ air and enrich through the fuel jet.

The amount of horrible nitrous information in this thread scares me... and this is why nitrous gets a bad name.

You could probably get a timing retard module on the car. But the one thing you do not do, is add fuel like that...

Tuning AFR and timing on nitrous are two different things.

So your saying I can't just install a TB plate and just squirt a 100-200 shot without tune?

It works fine on Honda's.. are you saying the Corvette is too week.. not good enough.. poor quality..
