That is alot of timing to pull out but may be to soffen the hit to get up on the tire some . I would like to see what the timing table looks like. what ignition are they running . Also can help on backfire issues with different cams. Post any things you know of the car you are talking of.....

There was a small discussion about it a few months back. https://ls1tech.com/forums/nitrous-o...rd-timing.html It all boils down to cylinder pressures and detonation. By retarding the timing your re-positioning your peak cylinder pressures from occurring too early in the cycle.
