Default Timing with nitrous....

Whats the general rule of thumb with nitrous as far as timing goes?
75 shot
100 shot
150 shot
200 shot
250+ shot

I've always heard 1 1/2 to 2 degrees per 50hp shot, from the mags, not sure how that applies to the LS1

I found 2 degrees per 50 works well. You may find that you require more timing to be added / removed where your converter stalls a bit. Then you can level it off from there. Then just tweak it from there.

i ran 26 with a 100 shot dry also and never saw any KR. not sure what a 200+ would work on though.

Well, 2 degrees per 50 puts you right around 22 degrees which is where I was roughly at. Then I went from 200 to 300 (wet) and was sitting at around 18 degrees or so (give or take a few in some spots).

What about ~94 octane (91 pump mixed with 103 VP racing unleaded), 100 wet shot jetted rich and 26 degrees of timing ? 11.1:1 compression heads/cam...

That's what I'll have unless I buy something to pull timing on the bottle. Should be OK without pulling timing, right ? It's been tested once or twice already... :

100 shot on pump gas will be enough as long its tunned right, mark did your tune right? if you got edit go through it again. mark tuned my car it ran like ****. we picked up over .5 secods on our tune vs. his. do you have enough fule pump? good luck.
