I bet a 75 shot would get him damn close, if not get him there. On my old turbo Conquest I gained 104rwhp with a 50 shot on the dyno.
Might have a hard time getting that much air in the motor though, with the throttle body and the maf being the restrictions. just a thought though.

I have a Nitrous Express MAF kit to install. Plan on starting with a 100 shot. Of course, that will be dyno tuned and I'll be using 104 unleaded for those runs.
On the blower alone, the car dyno'd at 505 rwhp. I think I'm still getting some belt slippage at higher rpm though. Probably install a Katech type tensioner instead of the stock one.
Boosted One, I still have C-clips on my 12-bolt, since it is an original 69 12-bolt. But, I'm also running disk brakes, so the axles can't fall out.

Anyways, here is the important info:
Car: 1969 Camaro SS, 6-speed manual, 348ci LS6, stage 2 heads, 232/232 cam, Magnacharger. 3.73 gears, Hoosier slicks on Pro Stars. Raceweight was 3435 lbs.
Weather conditions: 62F, 29.89 barometer, 39% humidity
First pass
60'=1.62 (13 psi cold tires, 5200 rpm clutch dump)
1/8=6.99
mph=101.42
1/4=10.88
mph=126.10
Came immediately back around and lined up again (no cool down)
60'=1.60 (no change in tire pressure, 5500 rpm clutch dump)
1/8=6.95
mph=101.05
1/4=10.87
mph=125.01
Did yet another lap, lined up, dumped the clutch at 6,000 rpm and POP goes the axle. It also managed to shred the supercharger belt when the axle broke, because the revs jumped up so quickly.
Well, my initial goals of running 10s with the blower are done. I'll be installing a fresh set of larger axles, larger spline count posi, and adding the NX nitrous kit next. Going for 9ssssss!
A friend video taped the 10.87 pass, probably have it up in a few days.
