I guess you could set it to advance the timing 4 degrees (or whatever) all the time, and then when runnig the juice, have it set to retard 4 degrees back to low timing setting...SO, you would have 25 degrees + 4 added from timing tuner to get 29 degree total timing all the time, and then when using nitrous, the window switch would be active as well as the retard function to pull the 4 degrees you added out, back to the factory low setting of 5 degrees. However, this would only be a safety factor if the timing tuner failed to work at all (complete failure). I am not sure if this is a good idea or not realistically, I think I will contact the company that makes the timing tuner and ask them...
