Default It is ok for me to run NOS with the setup I have?

Ok this is what I have...
02 ls1 6 speed..

5.3 heads ported by TEA to 1.5
comp cam 224 224 581 581 112
FLP's and a K@N FIPK intake....
right now the car makes about 410hp and 400tq
The best I can run out of it is 12.5 at 118 with a 1.9 60" on Nitto's

I want to spray a 100 shot on the car.. Not schure what kit to go with or.. If its even safe to put NOS on the car.. Condsidering I no with
these heads my compression is going to be like 11.1 prob.. Not schure exactly what it is....

Is it ok to spray with this setup?
If so what kit? and how much schould I spray??

Thank You..
Frank

TR-6 plugs.
Timing advance set to about 23 degrees.
O2s at 910-.950mv.
75 shot.

You'll be safe.

Upgrade the fuel pump (and injectors too for a dry shot) and drop the timing back a little more to spray more. Unleaded race gas is also a really good idea.

You seem to be having Major Traction Issues and NOS will only make it worse.

With traction you should be in the 11's on the motor. I'd work on that before you try adding more power.

My six speed 02 Z28 ran 11.72@118mph with a lid, cutout, and a 135 dry shot of nitrous
