Once the proper temperature is achieved you have an abundance of O2 and the mixture starts to burn more rapidly and raises the cylinder to peak pressure faster. Thats why you retard the ignition timing slightly.
Thats exactly what I said. Nitrous oxide raises your cylinder pressures to there peak sooner then normal combustion in an NA or Turbo car. Therefore to prevent making an attempt at forcing your crank straight through 7 main caps, you retard ignition timing.
In this way, you are allowing the crankshaft to rotate more, and compensate for the quicker burn of a nitrous mixture. If this is still unclear let me know and I can try to explain more.
