Default Running lean with nitrous!

Got a 96 LS, i/h/e and a NOS dry kit (75 shot)

I have the basics, NGK BRK7E (2 step colder) plugs, retarded timing 3 degrees, and a B&M adj. fpr set to ~40 psi at idle.

It seemed to run great while spraying, no hesitation or excess smoke but when I checked the plugs they were a little white, which tells me I'm running lean.

Can anyone help me out here? Should I bump up the fuel pressure? Thanks.

You're wrong, my stock heat range is 5.

I'll post a pic when I get out of work.

use ngk zfr6's and put your timing back to stock. retarding your timing will cause it to run leaner

Are you doing a pull and IMMEDIATLY turning the car off and drifting to the roadside to check the plugs? If not... you'll be seeing lean conditions because the car normally runs on the lean side for cruising and idle.
