Just wondering if I can keep my setup with a retard box to pull the timing when needed.

If you mean retarding during nitrous spraying, then yep, that's exactly what it's for. Optimized timing both off and on the spray.

EXACTLTY! This is the best way to go.

Any other way, and you are either hindering your NA performance, or endangering your nitrous runs.
