Default 50/75hp NOS on a turbo LSx... what will happen?

I used to drive around in a 1988 GTA T/A...now looking for a serious upgrade. Im planning on building up and iron block 370 or 440 through TSP and boosting it with 10-15psi. now in this day in age its easy to say one power adder is never enough, which is why Id like to run a 50 or 75 shot when im racing. im guesstimating that the turbo will help increase the hp gain beyond 50. anyone run NOS and a turbo? is this combo more prone to go boom and not a good idea?

why would u even run the spray if u are getting a 370 or 440 engine?

---just turn up the boost--

spend the spray money on turbo parts

well id go with a 370 and no nitrous. It would probably be a bitch to tune and it seems pointless when youd pick that up with not much more boost.

A few reasons to spray. One it spools up the turbo pretty much instantly. Handy on big turbos with more lag. Too it supercools the charge.Works much better than spraying the intercooler which to me is just plain silly. And three it magnifies the shot used. I have seen dsm cars like my talon pick up much more than say 50hp on a 50 shot.So it seems very efficient as well. I plan on direct port on my planned 408 build. Shooting to hit 850rwhp and 1000rwhp on spray. If nothing else the direct port is even more intimidating with twin turbos. And intimidation is fun sometimes.

Sorry Nice looking car.

I could see a shot up to about 4500 or so to get the car going. But anything above that would be a waste. Just add boost here .....>

Yes, put it on a boost switch, that cuts the spray at XX boost.. Its only spraying untill the turbo comes on line
