Nitrous Timing Question...

Alright guys... i've decided that I don't mind chancing blowing up this motor since I have an extra forged block at my shop.

I was gonna get your guys input on the best timing to adjust and maybe a part number on a colder or two-step colder spark plug. I'm looking at running a 100 shot and I have all the components to do a wet fogger kit into the throttle body.

Any input would be great.. i've had all my solenoids and lines ran sitting in my motor bay for like 4 months and just never bothers to hook it up...was too busy trying to achieve all-motor goals.

What is your timing set to now? Since you don't have your mods in a signature, what is your motor combo.

Typical timing retard on a 100 shot is either no change or -2 degrees from what you have now

You'll probably be safe with stock timing if you're only using a 100-shot. If you want to be safe, back it down a degree or two, but I wouldn't go anymore than that.

What plugs do you prefer to run on your motor now and what kind of heads are you running?

One step colder plug for a stock head would be Autolite 23. They can be found at walmart in a two pack for the price of what one would cost at an auto parts store.

use NOS charts. Each nitrous manufacturer has different jetting sizes per shot than other manufacturers
