retard the timing, what is your timing set at now? i'd put it at about 10 degrees
too much timing and you'll burn a piston or worse

retard 2* for every 50 hp of nitrous you are spraying. so about 6* retard from where your at using premium fuel.

if you advance it from where you are, you will blow up in a minute.

Depends on miles. Safely you can run up to 150 with upgraded fuel. But 75 is great and you dont have to upgrade your fuel unless you already have a few GOOD mods like heads, cam, or intake or a combo of any and all of those.
