Default nitrous or not? what to expect?

ive never ran nitrous but my car came with a "nos" sniper kit on it, its a wet kit and has the 100 shot jets in it. I raced a 2004 gto ls1 6 speed tonight without nitrous and beat him by a nose....my car has 3.73 gears headers, and an ory....would i have to change the injectors or anything for a 100 shot??? what should i expect to run, its a an a4 with stock stall. its a 99 and its speed density tune. any input would be appreciated, thankyou.

Nitrous is fun, but filling bottles gets old.

I'd like to sell my kit and go with a Procharger...

i would like to go procharged too if it didnt cost my left nut to do it!!!!lol im just wondering if i could get a mid to low 12 second pass on a 100 shot with my mods? the kit just goes where the maf used to be its a ring with the nitrous shooting into the ring right in front of the throttle body. it has the small "nos" selenoids, not the big ones. i was figuring it if i run a 13.5 on motor, i should be a mid 12 easy on 100 shot, if it all works correctly and i hook up fine. I'm going to be running a WOT switch by the way. i have 10.5 et streets so hooking up shouldnt be an issue i hope.

you would run mid 12s... you need nothing to spray on a stock/stockish car.... a timing box wouldnt kill ya... but not necessary..

My car went 11.93 on motor with headers, gears, stall, underdrive pulley, drag radials.

I see your car is an automatic, if you have a stock torque converter, I highly suggest getting an aftermarket one. Yank is my preference.

Yes N/A.. my best time on a 100 shot with 3.73 gears was 11.100. With a 125 shot and 3.50 gears(swapped to a Moser 9") it went 11.04 but the bottle went empty and that pass had low MPH...definitely 10s, but I haven't went to the track again.
