Default How much should I spray it?

I have:

408 Iron block
Eagle Crank/ Rods
Wiseco Pistons w/ 1.110 CH GFX Steel rings
The New PRC 237CC Heads
Texas Giant cam
Ported Fast 90 90

Im Wanting to spay the hell out of this setup. I will be running a Racetronix Tank and Hotwire setup , and a Dedicated fuel system for the spray. I was thinking of doing the spray into 2 stages and Looking at a 300 shot?Is more possible? Im trying to Get near 900HP

That depends... are you running a direct port kit?
If not, then I myself would not go any bigger than a 200 for fear of puddling!

Im looking for a Direct port setup And possibly the 2nd stage through a 90MM plate?

The engine is still waiting on the heads to come in. Im purely mapping out the nitrous setup at this point

You're engine from the sounds of it could take a 300 shot, I would do 200 through the direct port and 100 through the other stage, as long as you have the proper fuel, IE stand alone, you should be fine! Don't forget to run the proper plugs and pull enough timing man!

I would call your machinist and see what the rings are set up to take and if its a dedicated nitrous piston. Surprising as it may be, most off the shelf piston manufacturers only rate their pistons upwards of 200~250 hp worth of nitrous. Will they take more than that? Probably, but that's really a much better question/judgment call for the person building/assembling the motor and the piston mfg.

Who is going to tune it? Does the tuner know nitrous? Just cause they can tune an NA car does not mean they know how to read a plug or how nitrous works. That setup would take 3-500 with the right tune . The tune is #1 priority.
