Default Progressive shot on stock internals

I'm completely new to Nitrous, but I want you guys to advise and critique what I've come up with so far.

I'm looking at doing a dual stage Wet plate kit from Nitrodaves, with a dedicated fuel system. I'm wanting to spray around a 200-250 shot progressively. The thing is, here in Albuquerque we don't have anything better than 91 octane at the pump. Which for our altitude should be ok, as long as I through some C16 in the dedicated fuel system, right?
Also, my car dyno'd at 449 through the original 10 bolt. haven't had it done since the 12bolt 4.10. Is a 250 shot too much even if I have a dedicated fuel system on the stock internals? whats the biggest shot that i can run safely with my current mods?

Thanks guys!

seems like you're pushing your luck on the bottom end with that much HP, but a progressive shot with a good tune is alot safer than a straight hit of 200

Is 200 too much to spray through a plate kit?

People do spray that much, but not alot. You make 450rwhp NA on stock bottom end, and spraying a 200 shot on top of that is going to most likely put you at like 670rwhp and like 700rwtq. I dont forsee the bottom end holding up to that
