Ignition recurve kit and nitrous????

Is it safe to use an ignition recurve kit while using nitrous. I know it brings in the timing faster which is better for normal asperation but could that get dangerous with the use of nitrous. I am running an edelbrock 50-75-100 plate kit so it's not a huge shot or anything.

if base timing is reduced and fuel quality is ok then I think it will all be good.

I run premium (92 octane) and run 6 degrees (stock) base timing. I have been wanting to bump that up though. Currently I am running the 50 shot for the streeet but come track time I'll go to the 75 and if things seem good eventually the 100. I guess I would pull out a couple degrees when I go for the bigger shot but was not sure about the recurve kit. Mechanically my timing would be all in around 3k 3.5k? As opposed to somewhere around my redline.

I think you will be fine that way up to above 150 hp levels maybe more
