Ok Help Me Out Here. How Is It Possible For The Quad To Give You 215 Hp On One Setting And When You Go To N20 Mode Give You Enough Fuel For N20. To Me If They Are Adding More Fuel For The N20 To Supplement It Has To Give More Power? Correct Me If Im Wrong, Or Is The Regular 215 Mode Not Giving You The Right Fuel For The Horsepower. Just Kinda Interesting To Me

More fuel doesn't necessarily mean more power. You can apply more fuel through the stock fuel system than it can burn. Basically all a "N2O tune" is doing is increasing the fuel as much as possible, so that you burn it all when running N2O. When you aren't running the spray the tune will be "wasting" a lot of the fuel because it is to much for the stock turbo to burn on its own.

I think it has to do with the addition of fuel without air actually causes you to lose power. So I think the 215 n20 tune is actually less than 215 w/o nitrous. I think it is just a severe overfuel program for the addition of nitrous. I was wondering if anyone has tried the n20 with nitrous and stacked?? I never even ran the n20 tune at all. I figure you would probably need a lift pump for sure which I don't have yet.

I guess what I'm trying to say is...I believe that the reg. 215 tune is tuned for optimal power without drugs,(they could add more fuel but they wouldn't make more power).
I would say that the N2O tune is just dumping as much fuel as possible to take advantage of the N2O that is supposed to be used with it.

I Have A Lift Pump And Im Gonna Get Some Times W It On N20 Mode And It W/o. I Run It With The Juice And Im Gonna Run It With Out Nitrous And See What Kind Of Times It Will Run

I thought it had more to do with the timing, as in when the fuel starts being injected in the whole cycle. Same amount of total fuel (215 vs. 215n2o), just the injection starts later in the injection cycle.
I could be wrong...

Elowe that's the explanation I got from Quad.

I got the same explanation from Quad... Just a timing mod.
So far at the track, I didn't seen any performance gain running one or the other. However, 1/8s or 1/4s on NOS are not very consistent due to various factors like bottle pressure and precise NOS activation so it's difficult to compare.
