Yes it has been done. On of the Impala guys sprayed I think 200+80. From what I have seen though you need heads and cam to get it to move enough volume to support such a thing. I watched another guy go from 150-175 jets and not gain anything on a very mild heads/cam setup all we could figure was it was just too choked up to use the extra nitrous.
The only concern I would mention is if you have the topend to support the flow needed for a big shot I understand gambling the bottomend they are cheap enough you can experiment with 4-5 of them easily for the cost a a forged shortblock but are you willing to risk the topend and cam?
Another friend fragged his engine with a 250shot and I think it was salvageable damage to one head and the cam survived. I have known guys to endup with nothing but an intake manifold salvageable.

already had to from when i had a manual in the car 
but yeah guys the main thing im thinking about is the heads/cam not being able to handle it. dont wanna bother if its pointless. but i have plenty enough lt1/350 **** laying around to play with. was just curious if anybody had already done **** like that, which i figured so.

The guy I saw go from a 150 to 175 shot had ported iron heads and I think a 227 cam and even on juice it only ran low 12s was heavy even by Impala standards, his drag rims were stock Impala wheels widened so they were likely 30+lbs each without the tire. This was YEARS ago when there were only a few heads/cam/spray Impalas running 11s.

huh. i have a single nos nozzle with 072/038 jets in it so about a 175 shot from what i understand. definitely a difference going from a 061/031 spread just not sure how much more i can go with mostly stock heads/cam.. would like to put the 175 on a plate and maybe a 75 on the nozzle just to get me out the hole. would be fun to play around with i guess. ill post up if i find a plate in the near future and let yall know how it went. gonna try and get a few more mph out of it
