Installing Nitrous in my Firebird, have a few questions??
This winter, I'm planning on installing a HSW speedworks Wet Kit on my 98 Formula. I'm already running a H/C/I setup making 410rwhp through a 4000 stall single disk converter and a built 4L60E transmission. I already have the sudden impact nitrous kit(it's my brother's), with the MicroEdge Progressive controller, bottle heater, and proper safeties. For this setup, I plan on buying the 92mm plate and having it professionally tuned. Being in my planning stages, I was wondering a few things;
1.) Should I upgrade from my Ford #30 SVO injectors(#36 @ 58psi)? If so, to what size?
2.) Would I be needing to run brR7's assuming I kept it at 100-150 shot?
3.) Should I run race fuel to accommodate the extra shot?
4.) What would be an acceptable shot on a stock bottom end with the following setup?
PRC Stg 2.5 5.3L Heads w/ recessed valves (59cc chambers 11.5:1 w/ GM MLS Gasket)
EPS 226/234(.598/.601) camshaft 113+2 lsa
7.4" Comp Cams pushrods
GM LS7 lifters
GM Head Bolts
Katech rod bolts
Fast 92/92 (unported)
Ford #30 Injectors (#36 @ 58psi)
Racetronix fuel pump and hotwire kit
Stock 1998 Fuel rail
Pacesetter 1 3/4" LT's and ORY (99% sure I'm upgrading to 1 7/8" LT's)
Magnaflow Cat-Back w/ Cutout
Built 4L60E w/ 4000 stall converter w/B&M trans cooler
3.23 stock 10 bolt
275/50/15 MT ET Streets
Thanks for any assistance, advice, etc. I've read some stickies and posts, and want to learn some more before I blow myself up! Jk, my brother has experience with this kit(went high 10's low 11's on a stock engine and 150 shot with minimal tuning). I'm 100% having this professionally tuned. I'd like to keep at 93 octane but I understand I will probably have to use some better gas. Oh well, thanks for looking!

ya you will be fine with what you got with the br7s a 150 and 93 octane. ive sprayed up to 200 on a stock bottom on 93 pulling from the rail. make sure to run a fuel pressure safety switch though incase the pump fails or dont keep up.
