Just got tunercats for my LT1, 94 M6, hot cam, 150 shot compucar wet plate (new FPR, 255 walbro). Fuel pressure 43psi. My stock max advance table is 46 deg. When the nitrous hits it revs smooth till 5000 then detonation. So i pulled 6 deg via the tunercats (max advance) And it did a little bit better, now detonation at 5500. I just cant see pulling more timing, 2 deg for every 50 HP.
Now my questions: What is the stock max advance? How much timing should i pull for a 150 shot. How Much is to much timing to pull. Am i pulling the timing from the right table (MAX ADVANCE)?

No. "Max Advance" is not a table; it's an ECM constant that has no effect on what your doing.
You need to go into these TWO tables:
"Main Spark Advance vs. RPM vs. MAP" and
"EXtended Spark Advance vs. RPM vs. MAP".
Reduce the 4 right hand columns (85 through 100 Kpa) by 6 degrees in both tables.
Tell us what the highest number is in the two righthand columns (95 and 100kpa) before you make the correction.

That doesn't sound like a stock table to me.
It appears there's about 3 or 4 degrees more than typically seen even on a good dyno or mailorder tune.
You'll need to pull about 10 degrees out of the 95 and 100 kpa columns for a 150 shot, so the max you see is around 28 degrees anywhere above the rpm your shot comes in. Where does it come in? Are you using a window switch? What plugs are you running? gap?
The 90 kpa column can be a degree more and the 85 deg column 2 degrees more.
Make those adjustments, and then post of screen shot of the tables if you can, and we'll take a look.

The control box will do wonders for you, I ran one in my old car (355, ported heads, cam, 150 wet shot) and I ran a colder set of plugs and dialed the **** back -6 degrees, did not touch the computers tune and I never detonated.
