Yeah I do it all. I usually run timing around 15 degrees and had it retarded to 12 for the 100 shot, I have colder than stock plugs, 110 octane gas. And the bottom end is far from stock. It has trw forged pistons, Childs &Albert plasma moly rings, blue thunder H-beam rods, and ARP bolts everywhere. But everything you said are things that should not be overlooked if anybody else is thinking about nitrous.
