What are your mods?
FYI...
I ran across a guy at the track weeks ago running a 150-175 shot Zex kit but at the end of the night it took a shit off the line and bogged? Seemed pretty solid though before the hiccup, all he had was a set of drag radials. Think it ran high tens.

Yeah, timing will get ya. And not for much power. The flame front inside the cylinder while nitrous is injected is very fast so adding 1-2 extra degrees doesn't make much power like a blower/na car would. It's a very high risk for little or no gain. Now better fuel and more timing is a little different.
Seen some nitrous cars actually make more power with a 1-2 degrees more pulled.
Hook!!! Nitrous will drop 60' fast if you can hook. Retarded amounts of tq so those 2.0s could be 1.5s if you got rubber and some driving skills.
100shot should get u around 94ish mph, 150 got me a 98 mph. 200 never went to the track.
but now I'm curious. That's on a very poorly prepped track with potholes. LolHook!!! Nitrous will drop 60' fast if you can hook. Retarded amounts of tq so those 2.0s could be 1.5s if you got rubber and some driving skills.

Yeah the track I was running at isn't that great.I'll be going in a couple weeks to 1/4 mile track with some good tires.I think i'll go 125 shot when I do get my kit.
NX kit? The microedge seems like a really nice controller. Ive used a nos mini on my bike worked well but only ch2 would work. now im using a fixed hit on 200rwhp shot, traction became an issue on the street in first even with 295s, shocks and third link.
good luck with everything if you have questions or anything let me know. Done 3 installs on these cars already.

Im base everything I know on the fox bodys i've had. I was wondering how much you can spray and be safe.Like with the fox body you could spray up to 150 safely with 10 degrees of timing.175 would require a larger fuel pump and less timing.These new 5.0s the same or can you spray more safely whith it tuned properly.
You could just run a nozzle then plate. That's easy. 50 nozzle at 3-35k 100 plate 4500 or skip first. Most controllers have 2 stage control. Progressive is alot easier to wire, tune, etc. You can adjust it in 2 secs depending on track conditions.
Nx
I just put the NX kit on a couple weeks ago...sprayed a 150 shot and went 10.76, bumped it up to 175 and ran a 10.55......10.55 was a 1.52 60ft off idle with stock converter and 6.80 in the 1/8th at just over 105mph....check out my runs here,
