you could get the JWT nitrous daughter board, but I'm not sure if that can just be added or if you have to have the whole ecu reprogrammed. Or you could go with a J&S safeguard.

No but if you send it to Jim Wolf again they can put a switch on the ECU which retards the timing and makes nitrous safe. IIRC it runs $400 and you have to mount the switch somewhere.

J&S ultrasafeguard....!!! it can hook up to your nitrous selenoid as an option and when it activates, this thing retards your timing....or you can get the jwt nitrous module chip if you don't mind dealing with them again!

I would not squeeze your ride with a computer mod that advances the timing. I made that mistake once on my old VW Jetta & Mister Piston decided to melt. Good thing I was slick & got the factory to cover the repairs under the warrenty!!!

Ok so if I send my ecu back to him, and he reprograms it will I loose my all motor power I get from it. Or is there like a switch from spraying mode and none or something. I want squeeze bad but not blow my car up or loose my nice 14.8 second all motor et's

Yes it works on a switch. It will be geared for N/A performance like the normal ECU, but at the flip of a switch it is geared for nitrous.
