really? barely feel it? odd... how much HP boost rougly is a 75 shot good for?

im guesing 75, but typically when i hear about cars being dynoed using spray when they spray a 200shot they usually onyl put down an extra 120whp thats just an example but i never see them put down close to 200 extr whp

150-200, and yes I have sprayed the 300 shot on my stock shortblock with hyperutectic pistons. tried to blow it, all that hapened is it melted 6 sparkplugs when I got greedy with the timing.

3 thingsi'll comment on here........

1) nitrous is not flammable, so the flame you see is fuel that came from somewhere else, and probably not even related to the use of nitrous....but once the fuel starts to burn , the nitrous feeds it w/ oxygen..... nitrous CANNOT blowup , no more than the air we breathe can

2) 75 jets are enuff to knock 1 full second off your ET, 1 second is like 10 car lengths in the 1/4

3) half of what you make NA is safe to spray on top of what you have

Those guys weren't running NX kits. The highest I've sprayed on a chassis dyno was a 175hp shot. I used the NX recommended jetting and didn't make up my own to embelish my power. It gained 176rwhp.
