I've got a 91 Z28 with a T-trim supercharger on it going into a TPI setup. I run a dry 30hp shot between the outlet of the supercharger and the inlet of the TPI's mouth... it helps out tremendously... not only in power but the intercooling affect. I spoke with many people at NOS systems about jetting and such. I feel comfortable up to about a 50hp shot, but i'd start small.. .like a 30hp shot if I were you. I have a DFI on my car, so I'm able to tune the timing/AF mixture..etc fairly easy. What system are you using to tune the car??

A dfi 6 will work fine.. thats actually what I have on mine. (My z28)... I've got a DFI Gen 7 on my malibu.. its MUCH better.. but yes, you can adjust anything needed with the gen 6. Whats your compression..and internal setup? (Forged pistons, crank, rods, etc..?)
I was also reading about methane injection..which helps also. That's a good alternative. Do you have a Wideband? If so, that makes testing and tuning much easier...

I use a dry kit... one I built.. .just baught the powershot solenoid, orded the 30, 34, 42, & 46 jets.. (to range from 30 to 75hp shot).. I had an extra bottle & 14ft line... so I rigged it up to arm on a toggle switch in the car, then engage with a throttle switch (when floored).
It works great. Your making some really good power!! Thats impressive... I'd start off, with the 30hp jet, and go from there...
You'll want to Make sure your fuel injectors.. (or carb) can handle the additional fuel output though... if going with the dry kit..

yeah.. those should be enough.. I've got 63lb injectors in mine... so yours should cover it with some room to spare. (Athough there's an official calculation method to determine this.. but my gut feeling is your covered).

We changed to 9/16" studs torqued to 140 lbs, SCE .050 copper gaskets, O-rings and receiver grooves and lifting stopped. With a T trim, if you used a 50-75 shot you might be OK.

Typically you'll hear retard timing 2 degrees for every 50hp... however when nitrous is injected into a supercharged stream, it essentially doubles the overall horsepower rating of the nitrous stream.. (so a 30hp jet, yields 50-60hp, 50hp jet yields 80-100hp..etc)... so with that in mind.. i'd say drop your timing back 4-5 degrees and play it safe. You can also add octane/fuel... to offset the dry nitrous stream, but you want to pay attention to your Air/fuel mixture, plug burn patterns..etc... just test it out in small doses..
