i use a a MSD ignition box and a timing retard from MSD. i run a 200 shot. So thats like 6-8* for me.

i mean youd be ok with a 100 without pulling timing, but not to scare you or anthing i blew mine up on a 100 shot. I did it 3 times back to back like a dummy and the piston blew up.

But i put more than 10 bottles through my car on a 100 shot just using a digi window switch.

you can be safe with a 100. My engine is all forged. you can run a 200 but id do it the safe way. Get tthat malory box and possibly a progressive controller.

Rule of thumb is to be safest on spray, pull 2 degrees for every 50hp shot. That however, is extremely conservative.

On my NX Wet kit I'm running a PCMforless tune (without pulling any timing) and I just mix 100 octane to the tank of 93. That combined with the TR6s and I haven't had any detonation issues thus far. NX usually jets their kits on the rich side anyways.

i got a 100 dry kit. Word is you dont need to retard the timing up to a 100 shot. Espically for a dry kit. But you got a wet kit so its ure call.

don't really need to pull for 100 shot, but usually it 2* for every 50. If your gonna run a wet shot make sure you got good fuel pressure.
