Default 22-23 degrees an 125 shot.

I want to spray a 125 wet shot. (kit sitting in garage) My timing is at 22-23 degrees WOT. I'm using a standalone with 110 I guess. my a/f ratio is 13.4/1 until 5100 then dives to about 12.8/1. This sounds like I should be able to spray a 125 shot without pulling timing. The car makes 400NA rwhp. What do you think?

What plugs are in it, and how much are you spraying now? You could probably go one step colder on the plug, and be ok as long as your current tune-up is up to par. The a/f difference is your bottle pressure dropping.

Let me rephrase. I have a h/c 400hp car with the timing at 23WOT and a/f ratio 13.4till 5200 then it dips to 12.8 to 6800. I'll be running tr6 which come with the kit. I'm assuming I DON'T NEED A TIMING TUNER because I'm three degrees down from stock 26 degrees already. So, with 110, I should be able to get my a/f down and to 11/1 or so and the timing should be fine....right?

I wouldn't run a tr6 because it is a projected tip plug. You should be alright at that timing, but for optimal performance, the a/f doesn't need to be that low. Low isn't safe, regardless of what most think. Without going into a big spill about reading plugs, keep the a/f around 12-12.5 and you will be fine with that little bit of nitrous, as long as you have the right plug in it.
