325 hp, and 12.20 1/4's

gap the plugs at .035-.040 since you spray, if it's cool out and your squirting 100 shot, you can use 10*-12*

if it's warmer than 75* and /or bad air drop to 10*

i use stock plugs on 100 shot or less.

NA, use 2* more timing than u did when on the juice, and just leave the plugs alone

245-250 depending on how well the heads were done and general tune of the car..100 shot could add anywhere from 70-90HP depending again on the tune for nitrous. The above info for set up seems pretty much right on.

325 on the nitrous, assuming your spraying 100 shot.

possibly 350 but i really doubt it.

i use stock plugs , gapped at .035-.040"

like I said it depends on the general tune of the engine, and the quality of the port job on the heads. My opinion would be to swap back to the 19 pound injectors and corresonding maf..you not needing the 24's now and that may get you some signifiant HP numbers as she leans out a bit.
