Default Retard timing question..

On my b16 I'm installing my nx wet kit and I was wondering if I should retard the timing for the 35 shot? I'm positive i'm sticking with the 35 shot only so is this necessary? I figured if I use 93 octane pump gas, my Bkr7e-11 plugs, and my bottle warmer to keep the pressure at 1000 psi i should be safe right?

tuning is key. You can spray way more than that on stock internals.

For the Nitrous, you really do not need to worry about retarding timing until at least the 50hp mark. Even then, you can get away with stock timing. Remember if you do plan on doing that, you might want to look into an MSD box. I.E. MSD Digital 6. Hook it up so the only time you retard the timing is when the nitrous is activated. Also look at your plugs, they are going to wind up being incorrect heat range for you. Shoot for the #5238.

I did some research before i bought the NGK BKR7E-11 plugs and they seemed to be what everybody was using so I bought them. Plus these plugs were getting the best feedback from the honda-tech members.
