Default How much and when should I spray the nitrous???

I have Dave's wet plate system and I'll be starting the install in the morning. I also have a duel digital window swith with any gear lockout.

I have a H/C car with all the bolt ons putting down around 400-425rwhp. I also just finished the racetronix fuel system upgrade.

I originally planned on using the 150hp jets and locking out first gear so I can get traction, but I have since heard that the nitrous should help my 60 foot times if I get it to hook good. I have a fully built rear end and it should handle a severe load ........... well at least it was built for it. Well now that I have the kit, I want to get it installed and take it to get tuned with the 200hp jets and run it ***** out........but I don't know if that is smart!!!

So here are the questions~

How much should I spray?

And when should I spray?

What are the pros and cons of each?

Thanks..........

Oh and I have to give Dave a shot out, he went above and beyond to get me this kit. I was deployed and he still managed to hook me up! Thanks Dave!!

Your opinion/insight has a lot of weight with me Robert. I'll stop by so we can talk about this more as well. We can talk over a beer or something.

Beer good luck on your logs, and your ride back from San Quentin.

I would start out with a 100 shot and see how the car does. You want to check for detonation and if you can use a wideband for A/F ratio.
Right now my in my setup I am spraying a 100 shot. window switch is set to 3200RPM on and 200RPM below redline off.
Also make sure you run a colder plug, most run NGK TR6. Pull them after a run with the spray to see how it's running.

What up Jon, Bluewire said some goo things there. If it was me I would see how it did on a 100, then a 150...200 is pretty big and your still on stock internals. Definatley change out those plugs for the TR6 if you havent already, cant remember what gap is recomended but a quick search will net that. Good luck bro!!
