Default Time for Nitrous!?

I'm putting a DP setup in my car pretty soon, but I have been questioning how big of a shot my motor is going to be able to handle with stock internals. I was thinking just to start with a 150 shot and after I do a full rotating assembly move up to a 250. Need some input. I don't know very much about nitrous.

I would steer clear of doing a directport if you're new to nitrous and only plan on running a 150shot. Directports aren't the easiest systems to setup and they aren't really worth the trouble for a shot that size. You can always upgrade later...

I would take baby steps...start off with a simple nozzle/MAF/Plate system and get your feet wet.

ya start out at a single or dual nozzle setup, its alot easier to install and will be alot more cost effective for a 150shot. on stock internals you wont ever be able to do more that 225 progressive, maybe a little more but its on borowed time above 175

I completely understand what you are saying, but isn't a plate setup going to cost around $800 when I could put that toward a $2,000 DP setup. I could always adjust the DP to have a lighter or heavier shot with out spending more money in the process.

I'm not handling any of the installation. Stenod Performance will be working on that and a few other things for me.

What do you guys think of the NX Dual stage plate system? Maybe better to start off with this system?

You don't mind me asking what your set up is, and if you think my set up is stout enough to support some good times?
