Default n2o timing?

ive done a search, and got some answers to my questions. im wondering if you need to do anything special when doing a direct port n2o setup.

I think its 1 degree of retard per 25 shot. I dont think it matters whether the kit is dp or single fogger.

Mine is retarded x4.

...depends on the plugs you are running, what fuel, and what size shot. remember, retarding your ignition timing makes things hotter, not as hot as detonation, but finding that medium ground is important. Also, it is a common mistake to retard your timing and then add nitrous/fuel, when in actuality, a little more advance with less juice/fuel would make more power with less heat. Tuning.

He probably means dyno with air/fuel reading.

By tuning I mean finding the best combination of adjustable variables to keep the motor efficient as possible and together. Make sure all your parts and setting work together for this. Dyno-ing the car with a wideband, reading the plugs, making 1/4 mile passes and comparing slips, factoring in manufacturers/reputable builder-tuner advice...etc.
