Default Rings/Amount of N2O

Hey I was originally going to run Hellfire rings and a 300 shot but I had a change of heart and decided I don't want a full time track car.

What rings and shot can I get away with? (4.04" 1/16 1/16 3/16)

The amount of N2O would depend on the ring gap, material of the rings and the pistons, and what you want to run....You can buy and gap rings to run 300+ hp nitrous shots and still DD the car if you want. I would talk with the builder and decide from there. If you're just driving the car as a weekend toy, then build it to whatever you want and have fun running whatever shot you want. Just because you build for 300 or more doesn't mean you have to hit that every time. I prefer to over build in case you want to go bigger. When we did the turbo on my brothers cavalier, we built it for 20 psi consistently, and 30+ spikes. He only ran 15psi on a daily basis. I say do the hellfires gaped for 300 and run a 150-200 when you go to the track...
