Considering your motor is in good shape, 2 step colder plugs, 2 degrees timing retard, and make sure you always run atleast 91-93 octane fuel.

just get some plugs and run high octane gas for a 55 shot....and for the timing...i would just leave it stock...some people run 75 shot without retarding the timing

Great advice, pal.

"Some people" are idiots.
Look how many nitrous horror stories there are out there.

Be smart and take ALL the precautions.

hes said he wants to run a 50 shot or whatever....im pretty sure a 50 shot on stock timing isnt gonna be that bad on his motor....but since hes not gonna buy a new ignition might as well retard the timing since it wont cost you any money..

Even if he bought an ignition system, he would still need to retard his timing.
