Short answer is yes. But, on a small hit (75 hp) chances are you can tune it where you can use your spray without having to pull any timing. Rule of thumb is 2 degrees per 50 hp, but I rarely pull out any timing on a 75 shot. I usually start with tuning the timing on the low side of the "window" (the range of timing, usually 4 degrees or so, where increasing or decreasing it yields little to no changes in power output) and just let her roll.

I know the Microedge controller has an interface that works this way.
I def like using some type of controller with the bigger hits. I was running a progressive controller on a big fogger back in about '93-'94. Tuned a TS car with 2 stages, one 500hp fogger on a controller, and one 250hp plate.

The newer electronic ones are cool. Kyle (stonabones) runs one. Very, very tunable. Comes in handy trying to get a C5 down the track on a 250 shot without leaving a trail of broken goodies!!
