I've heard its different for everyone some blow at different hp levels. It seems to be once they get to the 500 hp mark they start to brake down. I was also thinking of putting a shot on and wasn't going to go over 150 to be safe good luck.

doubling your current hp w/ nitrous only is a very bad idea.

i wouldn't go more than 150, and w/ what you said you'd get you'd last a while. probrbly no probs, need bigger inj, your stock inj are taxed out at about 300-325 total , 24 lb'ers w/ a 190 would work, get an msd, 150 shot. you will probably not see much diff from 100-150 (maybe 2 tenths) but maybe you will. your heads still need to be able to get all that gas out.....stock exhaust ports aren't gonna cut it. and timing should be cut by 2* for every 50 hp of nitrous.

so more like 6*-8* on 150 shot
