I am adding nitrous to my 91 GT, I plan on running a 100 shot with my NOS wet kit. I have a trickflow street heat intake, 70mm TB, BBK cold air intake, 70mm MAF, trickflow stage 1 cam, off road X pipe, flowmaster mufflers and stock heads for now........ The nitrous kit is all wired up with a NOS RPM activation switch and I was wondering what "Pills" to install? I figured having the nitrous come on at 3K but did not know when to have it turn off. The system also has an arming switch and WOT switch for safety. So I guess im wondering when I should run the nitrous til with my mods? Thanks!

They make new pistons every day, so why worry?

5,800-6,000 if it was me. Just be very scared of your factory limiter @6,250 It cuts fuel out which is bad, bad, bad.

I've had similar set ups and was always recommended to keep it around 5500.

Sounds good, thinking 5400 since I still have stock heads and valve springs. Thanks for the info!
