Default nitrous question

i have a 91 civic with a b18a1 motor in it. my question is whats the biggest nitrous shot i can put on my motor ? my setup is a b18a1 block with b18b1 head. crower 402-a cams, crower valvesprings and retainers, blox intake manifold, venom fuel rail, b&m fuel pressure regulator, jdm 4-1 header with 2.5" collector, full 2.25" exhaust, testpipe, cold air intake, b16 tranny, lightweight flywheel, act clutch, zex dry nitrous kit (75 shot). my question is can i run a 100 shot as long as i retard the timing sufficently ? what would i retard it to ? any help would be appreciated.

#1 run good (race) gas, on premium 100 is pushing (i would not go much over 75, not worth risking you motor on)

#2 retard timing, at best with an ems, dizzy works to but you loose NA power

#3 run a window switch of some sort. spraying in second--&gt;hitting limiter instantly--&gt;toasting engine is not fun. better safe then sorry!!!

P.S. start small and learn from little mistakes, if you start big, every mistake is a big one

whats up yea 75 sounds good but dont forget that 100 shot is takeing a risk on the motor know getting tune with nos sounds good but remember theres not alot of import tuners in the nos field but dont give up .good luck
