Default Two stages of nitrous question

Okay im thinking of running a wet and dry two stage nitrous system I already have a dry kit jus laying around and bought a wet kit so id like to put them both to use. This is what I think I might do spray a 50 or 75 dry shot out of the hole on top of my 3200 stall and stock tranny. Then hit second gear and kick in the 100 wet kit on a window switch. Now my questions are for one is this a good idea or should I rethink it after a th350 and forged internals.
And if I should do this should I go speed density tune and tune it somewhat right or keep the maf and run it somewhat avg or toward the rich side.

If this is a dumb question feel free to say no your an idiot. I just thought about it today and thought id post up to see what ya guys thought.
Thanks

This thread has insight to spraying below 3000 RPM

https://ls1tech.com/forums/nitrous-oxide/562783-nitrous-activation-would-you-spray-below-3-000-rpm.html

I have a two stage 50 Dry @ 3000 and 125 Wet @ 4000
I may go 100 Dry @ 2800 or so after I upgrade my injectors.

I know it says not to but I know people who spray 100 wet out of the hole no big deal I realize its hit and miss but what do you guys think. I may just spray 50 outta the hole kick it off and kick in 100 wet when I grab traction.

100 wet out of the hole no prob. Use the dry kit and tune it to pull timing on the dry shot and then whack it with a big dose of the wet.

I spray a 100 dry shot out of the hole and have an NX MAF system with 50 wet that comes in 1.8 seconds after that. The first stage depends on available traction. If you have a stock fuel pump make sure you keep an eye on fuel pressure or just put a good pump in to be safe.

I will be putting my two stage off my Hemi truck onto my SSTB (LS2). What worked best for me was a 2 stage wet system. I used 75 HP stage one & 100 HP stage two on a stock block & trans. I had no issues with the 04 Hemi weak trans or pistons. I used a coiled hand button for stage one & a delay timer for stage two with a 2.6 delay. I hit the button for stage one as soon as the tires got traction about 8' to 10' off the line. Be sure to run a fuel pressure gauge & a wide-band A/F gauge. Use a adjustable bottle heater & leave on 1050 psi to 1100 psi after purge. I always run with 2 bottles with a Y-fitting to a #6 AN hose to the front going through a canister nitrous filter. With this set-up no pressure drop issues & quick recovery between runs. I was using NT555R's for traction. I used one step colder NGK plugs also NX nitrous octane booster. This combo had no issues. I like to controll my nitrous with the hand button it makes it easy to let off nitrous & stay WOT on motor. I use just what it takes to win & don't try to run max every run. I also purge in the passinger wheel well where it is not seen. I prefer to not let anyone know what I have and like I said use as much as I need to win. LOL
