Got out for a Sunday Drive!

Got out for a Sunday Drive!
Man, the car has spent more time on a battery charger than actually getting dirt on the wheels. However today the kids and I took the Trans Am out for a drive and used a couple thousand miles worth of tire in about an hour! It was pretty fun: At one point I passed a hopped up truck who had just completed a burnout on this country road: A nice 40-foot long single stripe in front of a house with some young guys milling about the yard. I assume these were his friends. As I got in front of the house I slowed down, dropped it into second gear, fanned the clutch and blazed the tires for about 200 feet. Two ten-inch wide stripes, nicely laid.
My youngest kids were whooping and wheeing, like they were on an amusement park ride. Then my 11 year-old son started getting nervous though and asked me to "Calm Down" This, from a kid with ADHD ! I was going to swing around to head back towards that house but my son was too embarrassed so I kept going... First time I think I've ever embarrassed my son, I think!
Ah well, everything worked out fine, and we kept to a spirited pace for the remainder of the country ride. It put me in what is definitely a rare mood these days, and just tonight I ordered the last pieces for my nitrous system from Nitro Dave! I got a NOS adjustable pressure switch for the heater, a throttle body solenoid bracket, a distribution block, and an electronic fuel pressure transducer.
Um, So What's 400 RWHP + a 100 shot equal, anyway?
Just preparing for M12, you guys!

Oh, OK. The FAST XFI has four different ignition/fuel maps plus a whole host of other power-adder functions including timing retard and power-adder delay, and it's the brains that will be running this system. I'll chuck six degrees of timing retard in the loop just to be safe.

2 degrees per 50 is SAFE/Reccomended. If your N/A timing is running well(36 or 38 is where I think you said), taking 4 out is plenty. I'm pulling 5 on a 150 jet and the mark couldn't be better along with a steady 11.0:1 A/F. 38 dropped to 33. Colder plug and a splash of more octane.
