effects of nitro on ignition conversion

Anyone knows if there are any effects of nitro on an ignition conversion.I'm presently running 15% nitro on my ASP180 ignition conversion.I'm thinking of reducing the nitro content to maybe even zero.Will I have to readjust the timing?

No need to run nitro on spark ignition. If it is set to factory values, the timing does not nee a change, fuel mixture maybe.

RE: effects of nitro on ignition conversion

Nitro will give an engine more power and better throttle transition on an ignition engine just as it does on a glow engine.

I would also say that when going to a no nitro mix that you should retime the engine to find the optimum setting without the nitro. Nitro burns slowly, and you might find you need to retard the igntion a bit without it.
