Can I tell if my car has been tuned?
I intend to run a 100 shot on my 02 Trans am because it is my understanding that no timing has to be pulled until after a 100 shot. It is also my understanding that advanced timing and nitrous do not mix. Is there anyway I can tell if my car has been tuned and had the timing advanced so I don't cause damage? Could I maybe monitor the timing with a scanner? If so what should the timing read if it is tuned or stock? The car shifts at 6000 RPMs if that is any help. Thanks in advance,

Timing
I just ran the 1/4 mile on Sunday and my timing on my HP tuner data logger said the timing was running from 25 to 29. Why is my friends car with a carb runs 38 degrees. Can someone explain how and why the difference between the cars. I was going to change the timing with hp tuner but I want to know what I should do. BTW my wideband is running at 12.80 at full throttle.
