Poeple with 150-shot, do you retard your timings?
Hi Guys,
Do you retard your timings at all, when you're on the 150-shot? If yes, how many degree are you retarding yours? (I think they recommend about 2 degrees per 50hp)
How are you retarding yours? Beside the Cartek timing mods, is there any other way to retard your timings? I would like to set it up where I can turn it on when running nitrous and turn off when I'm not.
Thanks
-Tuan

I had 28 maximum on a 150 shot on stock engine and never had any problems.
Now I´m at 25 and even lower for the big shot.
Works perfect.
Just don´t retard too much or you´ll melt your exhaust valves!!

I never did before for 2 years, worked fine. No problems. But after the heads/cam, I did the cartek thing just for safety reasons. No real indication that I need it, but better safe than sorry.

not retarding it at all. I monitor very closely and have yet to experience KR. I like to have as much timing as possible- that is where the power is. this would account for my latest dyno of 500rwhp and 688rwtq!!!
