Default Nitrous and Timing Retard

What are you LTx guys using to pull timing when shooting? I have a HSW dual nozzle kit and I plan on spraying a 200 here soon. I am totally new to Nitrous so I am trying to learn as much as possible. I have had my eye on an MSD box with adjustable timing **** and the mallory Nitrous 6 box. It would be nice to have something with a 2-step and rev limiter built in for when I swap to a TH350 down the road. I definately want something digital and easy to use though. Show me what you guys have! Any information would be great!!

BTW, I have used a search and I have been looking in the nitrous tech section so there is no need for the search gods to come in here and clutter things up with useless posts.

Digital 6 here...hooking my NOS up this weekend. When the noids are activated with the toggle, it will also send 12v to the box which will pull the timing I preset. Cant beat that setup!

Just wish the box came with a built in window switch...think the Mallory 685 does.
