question about timing and Nitrous

[MTCFORUM]

Im going to look at a used NOS dry nitrous system, and if its in decent shape ill buy it, but i wanted to know how much should i retard my timing to keep the motor intact, ill stick with a 75hp jet, and i always run premium fuel. As for how to retard the timing, im going to be adding a MSD retard box to add to my 6A, and a 255lph intank pump

If im running a 15.4@90 with an aod, no traction problems, and not stalling it at the line will a 75 shot be enough to get me into the high 14's with a 5 speed?<BR><BR>

Well to be conservative, you should take out about 2 degrees for every 50 HP you add. So, about 3 degrees should be adequate for what you are doing.

A 75 shot should be more than enough to get you into the 14's. But, you have an AOD, be careful, they are not the most durable piece in stock form.

sounds good, yeah, i think my transmissin is on its last leg, it had a reman installed when the TV cable came loose at 100K and ive put 36k on it, and bet the crap out of it, cant wait to get the t-5

P.S. If you put a 4r100 in a bird where would you sit?

i picked up the system. It is a dry system, and uses what looks like a springloaded valve that has a vac line that attaches to the port on the fuel regulator, ill get the instruction guide and bottle for it tomorrow. Would i be better off upping to a fogger nozzel and pluming the fuel line? Also what should i retard the timing from? Im having second thoughts abo running a 75hp jet, i think ill stick with a 50 on this motor, would 10BTDC be a safe bet at this? sorry for al the questions, but id like to keep my motor in the current number of pices
