Plate system recommendations I'm looking to put a nitrous plate system on my racecar as a winter project. I am new to nitrous so I will need everything to complete the kit. I am not looking to try to get by with the cheapest kit. I want what is going to work the best with my setup and make sure I do it right the first time.
This is what I am currently running:
LS3 block
ARP throughout
Callies Dragonslayer 4.0" crank
K1 rods
Wiseco +5cc 4.070 nitrous 2618 pistons with rings at .022, .024, oil .019
Trick Flow 245 heads from TEA with nitrous exhaust ports
Crower shaft rockers
Bullet Solid .723/.714, 271/277, 108+4
Super Victor intake
APD 950 methanol carb
Daytona LS Smart Spark
I would like recommendations on what system to go with as well as what I could "safely" spray on this setup. Also would it be better to switch the entire system to race gas or just use it for enrichment from a stand alone system? I really like running methanol but if it's much better to change I would consider it.
Thanks in advance!

I would recommend staying on the same fuel this way it will be easier to tune. So if you wanted the motor to run on 93 octane you would want to go with C16 or Q16 in a dedicated fuel system. This will make tuning easier with plug reading. I would recommend you to use the stinger 3 for your set up based on the fact that you are using a Super Vic intake. With the tall plenum you would benefit from the Stinger 3 cone sitting deeper into the intake manifold and the ports on the stinger cone are aimed to go down the runner. We have had many customers go with this set up that we are recommending and have amazing results with performance and excellent cylinder to cylinder distribution. If you have any questions about your set up or wanting more information on Nitrous feel free to give me a call directly, My name is Houston and my number is 254-848-4300 EXT 109.

Anybody have any estimates on what I could reliably spray this thing with careful tuning?
All your parts are good quality parts so they will hold over 1000 fly wheel with out much trouble if set up properly. That's a pretty big cam so she's going to peak above 7000 I think. I'm guessing around 675-700 hp on motor. Making horse power is really making heat and all engine tolerances need to be set to accommodate that, from bearing clearances to ring gaps. Talk to your builder and see what he recommends, I'm sure you gave him a power goal When you started the build and set everything to it.
