When to pull timing

I have a 98 camaro with 150 shot of nx. I was woundering if I need to and how to go about pulling timing out of the motor.

Get a "timing tuner". I run one and its one of the best ways since it allows you to run optimal timing NA and pull some timing on spray.

Agree, do it with electronics, I don't like running around with timing out.

You can run stock timing on a 150 shot. If your gonna pull though just do 2-3 degrees. Is your fuel system up to par? If its not, pulling timing aint gonna help any really. Lean = Boom

iunno brad, some ppl get lucky and are able to get by running stock timing on a 150 shot, but for me i ended up burning plugs on stock timing at 150. so results will vary from person to person

you may have just been too lean. I ran 150 on stock timing for a long time, never had a problem, TR6 plugs. Most kits are designed run up to 150 with stock timing.
