Default Comfort level on pump/93?

So it's looking less and less likely that I'll be able to get Jeremy Formato to tweak my car before FL2K this weekend, and I only just now finally got all the obvious kinks worked out of the nitrous system which leaves me here. So my question to the masses, just how comfortable are you on pump (93) as the power level climbs? On my previous H/C stock bottom 346, we did just over 600whp on a 200 shot, seems like everything was dandy on pump there, but now let's say everything is amplified by 100hp, just where does instability come into play? 700whp? Higher?

For the record, the new setup is a stock bottom LS3 with 69cc heads (~10.8:1), she made 501 on the motor, looking to go for a 200-shot through a Nitrous Outlet plate setup as my previous setup was.

Its all in the tune you can run pump gas on alot of nitrous with the right tune-up. it will be very timing sensative and also engine tempature sensative. I ran it at the 9.20 et range for a long time . Eventally hurt it around 8.80 @ 150ish. I am sure I could go farther now whith what we know.

Guys make some big #s on pump gas. Monte Smith of NOS says it is all about the timing. Pull a copious amount of timing and carefully add it back in and read the plugs as you go.
