Default Nitrous question

I need some oppinions. I'm not sure what I should pill the N20 at. I changed the tires(to Drag Radials),31 spline axles, axle girdle,and installed a spool last night. It's a C4(3 speed) reverse manual valve body, 4000 stall w/trans break wired up when you disengage the T/B the nitrous comes on. What should I pill the N20 at?

how wide are the drag radials? get some mickey thompson drag radials those things hook!

150 shot.. if your spraying out of the hole its gonna be hard to get anything to hook

i know jimmy/jruss was spraying out of the hole on a 100 shot.. w/ mickey thompson 275 wide tires.

w/ the 150 shot he had to wait to flip on the system till just after he launched.. spraying 150 outta the hole on drag radials that were only 275 wide would light them up.

Yeah, I'm gonna wear out the BFG's first then go buy some M/T DR's. And they're 285/60/15. Which is the same as a 28X10X15 slick I think.

The car is set-up to spray, well,,,, ALOT more than what I've been spraying. But I'm just worried about traction.

Good point, I think what I'll do is leave it where it's at and see what happens.
