Default Potential new owner, very curious about potential E.T.

I'm considering buying an LS1 Trans Am. The mod list is as follows, what should it run? The nitrous is a big factor, what do you think it would run all motor? RWHP? On a 150 shot? Slicks vs. DRs?

THanks.

My guess, motor: higher 11's, N2O: perhaps high 10's. You could run slicks cause you have the 12 bolt in there. Dr's, you can drive around town too, and have fun with those on the streets.

Wouldn't the compression be a little high for a 150 shot of nitrous? Probably 11:1 or more depending on head gasket thickness.
