Default tuning the car

I been hearing things that if i use a 50 shot of nitrous with a d16 engine (99 Civic EX) all i need to do is retard my ignition and i dont have to tune the car....
Does anyone know if this is true?

As long as you have the nitrous computer that comes with the kit installed correctly (assuming it's working) the only change you should have to make is to the timing. The computer puts more fuel through your system so you won't lean out.
