Default 170 torque from a 100 shot?

The same car made 434rwhp and 382 torque a week before on the same dyno. This car has been on that dyno a few times before and was within a few HP/torque. Now it makes 75 more hp and 170 more torque with a 100 shot wet kit. I know my timing is too far advanced. It is at 27 degrees and my timing twister is supposed to pull timing but it isn't. No surprise because the shop that installed it ( HPE ) didn't do a lot of things right.

Also, it has a very big cam and I the power isn't climbing as fast in the high RPM as I would expect. Is this normal for a nitrous pull?

making a ton of torque is normal with nitrous. On 100 shot on my V i made 82hp/133tq on a 100 shot. And this is on a basically stock car. So with a cam and other supporting mods its def not out of the normal.

Yeah traction is definitely a problem and I even set the window switch to come on at 3400. 2nd gear is worthless but 3rd gear is fun.

Thats about normal. I had my car at 28 degrees and pulled no timing for my 100 shot on 93 octane and it was safe with no knock.

As far as seeing if your timing twister is pulling timing, most of those timing boxes don't show up when using tuning software such as HPtuners and such

As the others have stated, the torque gains are perfectly normal.

Regarding traction, start with a good drag radial. I coupled a good DR with a progressive controller to ramp up my shot and it helped out nicely with traction.

my tnt kit on my stock LS1 motor put down an extra 200 torque on a 150 shot putting me over 500 lb/ft torque on an otherwise stock car.
