Now I am at 23-24° for 100 shot with my H/C

Will i still be ok on lets say a 50 or 75 shot?

BTW. this would only be temporary until you get tuned.

This is my first kit so i probably should start at 50
put it on the dyno and see, i would not spray unless it was dynoed on the bottle. i use a mustang dyno because they are loaded, and better for tuning. my car is h/c + 100 shot, 28* timing and has ZERO knock retard. i do have a upgraded pump/wireing, 93 oct. + use a bottle of octanium. my car liked 33* n/a so i pulled 5*, but every car is different

And IMHO, running octane booster is cheap insurance and the safest way to go about it until you can get it on the dyno and get it tuned for 91.
There's a place right down the street that sells 100 octane. It's pretty damn expensive though. I've heard it was around 7$ a gallon. But like I said, it's definitely cheap insurance until you get tuned IMO. We should go and see how much it is exactly. I'll try to see If I can find anywhere else that sells 91+ octane in our area for cheaper.

i'd suggest getting 100 octane in there. there's a grip of torco pumps with unleaded 100 octane in the bay area.
when you get on the nitrous, the knock may be audible, so listen close and invest in a radar detector.
