Hey there again guys whats the ideal timing that my stang should be at say for drag racing and shooting 200 shot of NOS. She is Stock but i have upgraded alot of things.

BBK Cold Air Intake, 24lb Injectors, C&L MAF Meter calibrated 24, MSD Ignition 6AL,
MSD 3 Stage Retard, Mallory Promaster Coil, Smog Delete, Underdrive Pulleys, 3.73 Gears, Stage Two Clutch and Flywheel, CFN 200 Wet Nitrous Kit, 255lph Intank Pump, Ported Stock Intake, 75mm Throttle Body &75mm EGR, MSD Distributor. Thats about it.

I want to know the right timing for such a set up, so i know where to set my retard and also what about taking out the Distributor Spout, is there a plus in doing that when racing?
