2002 z28 M6
tnt f1 kit 100 shot, FPSS, heater, filter, tr6 plugs gapped @ 33
racetronix fuel pump
bmn window switch set @ 3k on and 5,800 off... shift light set @ 6k
stock tune
total timing N/A is 23*-24*.. HO2's reading @ WOT 954-963 mV (per tech 2)
92 premium chevron gas is the highest octane we have here on MAui, HAwaii
anything else I should know? how much runs can I get out of a 10 lb bottle?.

hose her down! 
Do you have a nitrous pressure guage? They are worth their weight in gold. Dont want to exceed 1100psi or you can experience some problems... Also double check what bottle pressure TNT advises for their kit. Other than that, read line one again.
P.S. maybe 6 solid runs on a full 10lb bottle. That might be pushing it and dont quote me on that. Personally if money is on the line i would only pull 4 passes, then top her off. Theres a website somewhere (i lost it) that tells you in weight how much nitrous you use per jet size per PSI per seconds. Its a badass site for sure. basically when the bottle has 2lbs left in it, its useless, that 100shot becomes significantly less. A guage wont tell you how much nitrous you have left in the tank. Gotta weigh it out. Ah, all this talk and looking at my spare kit makes me wanna turn my turbo honda into a dual power adder car.

I would open the gap up a little on the plugs, maybe 038. I would try it the way it is now, but if you have some drivability problems, pull the plugs and put in new ones with a little larger gap.
I would replace your fuel filter now (before you spray it), even if you did a fuel filter recently. I had one clog when trying to tune on nitrous years ago.
your 02's seem kind of rich, make sure to monitor the 02 readings, and KR during the nitrous run.

a gauge mounted on your dash is 10x better. Unless you plan to run outside your car pop the trunk and look at the gauge before you line up to make sure its in safe opperating range. My freind learned the hard way. didnt wire his heater properly and had 1500 or some stupid high PSI and needless to say, blew his engine. He had a gauge on the bottle, didnt do him much good. Spend the extra 90$ on a gauge and $75 for fittings/lines to have it done right. Call nitro dave up. He'll have the setup. 
I have never had a gauge mounted in the cockpit....one on the botle with an automatic bottle heater (NX one) is just fine. I hate having too much wiring and too much stuff to worry about when somehting doesn't run right....KISS (keep it simple stupid)

Guess you havent seen the "which gauge" thread in here. Dynotune has an excellent in car electric gauge, hell even Dave likes it.
In HI you should be able to get around on shorter gaps easily. You could open it up some, but knowing how TNT's rating vs. output goes I would stick to the 32. Good luck and have fun brother, maybe some day I'll make it over to your beaches.

How about a 300shot, bald 12" wide slicks and maybe I can hydroplane over
100 shot is pretty tame. floor it in third gear then flip the arming switch on so you can feel the power kick in. Its not going to break the tires loose or hit hyperspace. You will be jetting for 150hp ASAP. Hell, just bring them there jets with you You are going to love it....
You are going to love it....
