Nitrous is tough to just "tell" someone what they need. All engines are different, and react differently to timing, nitrous, fuel, etc etc.

For a 175hp system, a good place to start is 4 degress retarded starting from your 18 will be fine. So with the 175 shot, take 4 out and set it to 14. It's really better to set the timing on the other end of the spectrum, but baseline timing will get you in the ball park.

Also for that kind of nitrous, make sure you have AT LEAST 105 octane fuel in your tank!

Good luck!
