E-manage and nitrous ...

OK, so I'm curious... My built motor is finished and it goes in next Monday (pics WILL be taken!) but right now I am running the stock motor ... I have been running a Zex 75 shot for like 2 years now but I've never done anything to adjust timing with no ill effects (other than the blown head gasket which I attribute to Honda OEM head studs... Since I installed the ARP studs I have had zero issues and have been spraying since then ) ... I have been asked many times how big of a shot I could run on a built motor and my answer has always been 75 due to the timing issue ... Now, I have an emanage installed but all the settings on it are set to stock because I was waiting to boost before I started changing anything ... Since the Zex kit operates at WOT, can I simply retard the timing in emanage under the 100% throttle line of the timing map? I know that it isnt the best approach but I don't ever go to WOT unless I'm spraying anyways ... All this is pure speculation because all my money is going to turbo kit parts (thanks for the manifold Hwoody!) but I know there is a way to run a bigger shot than I'm currently running ... anybody wanna share thoughts on this??
I just can't wait for the new motor to go in, then I can't wait to be boosted ... any ideas or comments?
