Default NOS Questions

Ok so I have a 383 LT1 with scat crank/eagle rods/diamond pistons/lazer camshaft/comp cams valvetrain stuff/ported heads/fuel system/throttle body/full bolt ons...Also I drive the car EVERY DAY,like rain shine everyday the car gets drivin..
Im wondering how much nitrous is going overboard on this for a daily driver...The car already goes into the low 11's with a 2.0 sixty foot but I want more..I almost am tempted to go for a direct port fogger kit,but im looking for some opinions..Maybe just a basic wet kit? Need some input..

Well with the forged internals you should be able to handle a fairly large shot, I'd say somewhere between 200 and 300 will be safe. Question, do you not have headers, they're not listed in your sig? Also you'd definitely benefit from a lower 60ft time, do you have any suspension mods?

I just sold my TA that was basically the same set up you are running. The motor and 12 bolt should handle 300hp without problems. What tranny are you using, converter?

You should be ok, I would suggest upgrading the clutch if you haven't already though
