Retarding timing

Normally you want to start with about 2* of timing per 50hp pulled. On a 75hp shot on a stock application, you could get away with running 91 or 93 octane and you wouldn't have to pull any timing for that much nitrous. If you plan on stepping up to 100 or more, I would definitely pull timing to keep things safe.
There are 2 common ways to do this, you can go into HP tuners and pull static timing, or you can pick up a Lingenfelter LNC-2000 timing retard box that you wire in, and it pulls timing when the nitrous system is armed, that way it doesn't take away from your N/A tune.

We sell the Lingenfelter LNC-2000 which is the way I would recommend to go. You will have the ability to pull up to 15 degrees and be able to move up in hp later without having to go to a tuner and pull extra timing or do it yourself via tuning software. Let me know if you have any questions!
