I would invest in a fuel pressure safety switch, it will stop you from blowing your motor up if the fuel pressure doesn't raise at the right time. I wouldn't run more than 10 to 11 degrees of timing. I would also read the spark plug nitrous thread in the NOS section it is a sticky. Usually a degree or two colder than stock is good. A bottle heater is worth the investment also.

Run higher octane too if you can. And it is nitrous not NOS...

Yeah, I am sorry, my motor is bigger than a soda bottle. 2 soda bottles even. I am turely sorry, and I promise I will find a ditch with enough water to cover up my car and drive into it. But yes higher octane, the timing is kinda of a your car thing, try 11 and if you get detonation then back it down. I am running a hundred shot and 10 degrees of timing, and an Autolite, degree colder spark plug. Have a blast, it is ****ing awesome

i'd look into a wet kit, more money up front but its much safer and simpler. better to add the additional fuel needed ALONG with the nitrous rather that have to seperatly supply fuel to the engine, just more things going on and more stuff to go wrong.

nitrous is an animal i know a guy who used to have a mustang, ran stock heads, an intake and stock cam, ran a 150 shot, with gears, t5 and slicks he ran low 11s, he drives like a demon so that helps.
