unless you have some sort of engine management, then you arent going to retard the timing.

And since most people went with nitrous because it is cheap power, i am willing to bet that they dont have any timing control.

Well couldn't you use a adjustable cam gear instead of an EMS?
and how much would an EMS help? [75 wet]

You dont' need that stuff unless your engine is seriously built to handle alot more nitrous. An EMS might give you 10 or so extra hp to tune it with nitrous. All you need for our cars is run the best gas you buy (93 recommended) and run 2 step colder spark plugs then stock. PM me if you got questions about nitrous.

as i mentioned before, cam timing and ignition timing are two different things. The only way you can retard ignition timing is with an e-manage or standalone ems like AEM
