I'll Ask again; does anyone out there know of a specific product ment for the S2 or works for the S2 to retard the timing. I don't want to spend a lot, under $500. is what I'm looking for.

Do I need to run after market spark plugs w/ my current 55 shot of n20?

Thanks for the help everyone!

I checked out the Greddy E-mng and it does a lot. I'm assuming that tuning will be quite a bitch. Will I need to dyno tune or have a laptop? Could I only change the timing and adjust the VTEC with out changing the other factory settings? If so will the car run right? Is anything else required with the e-mng, like wiring etc?

In regards to VTEC is it for gas mileage or for more torque in the low and more hp in the high?

Zex makes colder plugs you can use.

Your whole mph thing on that street where you hit 85 now instead of 80 is not really telling you a whole lot. You might hit the exact same mph as before you had the 55 shot, but you might be hitting 80-85 a whole lot faster than before. Make sense??

Its like at the track. You could make a run down the 1/4 and run a 14.0 @ 104 (just making up a number), then your next run you could run a 13.5 @ 104. Same speed...faster time.

I know what you mean, but I guess I should have stated all other things being =, b/c they were.

spapdx: what your top SCharged speed?

How much did you spend on the charger w/ installation.

Is turbo charging too difficult to get right?

Does any one know why a properly set up nitrous system is considered more dangerous than turbo/super charging? Its the same concept isn't?

Stay away from zex plugs they suck. if you have a pressure guage it has to be above 750 to keep it liquid. I perfer around 950 ...There is a big difference in power between 750 pressure and 950 pressure.. Get a pressure guage if ya don't have one.....the zex heater is really slow and can take a long time to get the tank up above 800 pressure....like hours if the tank has been sitting in 50 degree temps all night in the trunk. A good trick is to place the tank in the bath tub with warm water the tank warms up in ten minutes but make sure ya have a pressure guage to make sure your not above 1000 pressure. the difference between 750- 800 pressure and 950 pressure is night and day. Ya get a big old kick in the pants with the 950 pressure. Let me tell ya i've stuck with three different c-5's under my 75 shot at 950 pressure. I beat the auto c-5 by two lengths to 120mph. I 've just got the 4.44 installed and that combined with nitrous it is crazy fast. By the way I have a nx express kit 75 shot with a zex heater. the heater sucks but got it for cheap. Try champion plugs with a .41 gap need greddy e manage or the aem ecu to retard timing.
