Am I doing this right? Hey guys, I'm new to nitrous and v8s. I do A LOT of big power imports for a living, 800-1200whp 4 cylinder turbo cars. For my own personal car I just picked up a 93 Foxbody Notchback to mess around with. I'm LS swapping it and I'm building an iron block to go in it. I'm not 100% on if i picked out all the right stuff or what I'm realistically looking at for what the car should do if its set up correctly. I will use this thread to pretty much ask questions as they come up. The end goal for the car would pretty much be high 9s/low 10s on motor and 8s in the 1/4. This will be a "street car." How much nitrous would I be able to spray (safely and unsafely
). I was thinking around 300-400 but that obviously depends on the tune. How does the whole nitrous and e85 thing work as compared to race gas. Yes, I have searched on the forum; not much has been out there. ANY RECOMMENDATIONS will be appreciated. Thanks Guys. All I have pretty much as of now is the 6.0 long block and the parts listed below for the internals.
06 Gen III LQ4
317 Heads stock port (thinking about sending them to AI for the 232cc CNC Head port)

Transmission will prob be a slightly upgraded th400 or a glide, not sure what i should pick as this will be a street car. All suspension will be from Team Z Motorsports.
Looking into the nitrous outlet Puck Kit. Anyone have any recommendations otherwise? The plates looks very nice as well.
