You don't need to retard timing unless some has been added via a tune. So if some has been added it wouldn't hurt to pull a few degrees. If you do go with the LS1 Timing Tuner you can nix the MSD window switch. The delay timer is a harder one to answer. The TT has a built in delay timer, but it is only good for .2 Sec - .8 Sec., so it may/may not be enough for you. If you have a cam + the bolt ons I would suggest a fuel pump upgrade. The Racetronix kits are nice and don't require you to butcher up your pump bucket like if you go with a Walbro. If you do go the Walbro route look into getting a hot wire kit for it.

i guess some specs would help.
Its a FM13, Bo White Heads, Grot LT's, 4.10's, textralia...pretty much full bolt ons w/an m6...~440rwhp. right now i was only planning a 75 shot, maybe 100 tops.

On a relatively small shot (75 - 175) and a stock timing map it isn't needed. If the timing was advanced with your tune then yes, I would suggest 1 - 2 degrees for every 50 hp added via the N2O.

thats what i thought. Gomer dynotuned it and im willing to bet the timing is a lil high for n2o use, so i think im gonna look into that Edge unit you carry.
Looks like we're in the same boat!
Here is my well-thought out (well at least I like to think so) list of plans:
