LOL 100 shot can be done on a stock tune and PUMP GAS without pulling any timing. If you have a tune that has bumped the timing I would pull 3 or so degrees

Yes it can be done, I used to run a stock lt1 with 100 and/or 110 octane with a 100 shot all day on stock tune.

the 110 makes things safe, even on a stock tune.

Ive sprayed a 125 shot with a stock tune on 93 pleny of times in my Formula and never had a problem just make sure you put in a set of BR6EF NGK plugs for the nitrous and you will be fine.

FYI...I would NEVER run nitrous without retarding timing.

The combustion process is drastically sped up when using nitrous this is why you want to retard timing. Raising the octane will help prevent detonation but it does not get the burn started at the correct time.

Now with that said are there people out there that do it, yes, but there are also people that play russian roulette. Your decision.
