Have heard some nitrous guys retarding as much as 20 degrees with a big
load of Nitrous. I was told 2 or 3 degrees for every 50 HP. Would suggest
you retard when the nitrous come on.
Nice thing about the dyno is you can experiment with it. Does your dyno
have the ability to calculate air/fuel ratio? Again was told to run 11.5 to
12 to 1 A/F ratio with nitrous.
