RE: high or low??

nitrous loves high compression. How much are you adding?

Low is always the safest. You can squeeze more HP with high compression, but it's definitely harder on the engine.

well my compression should be going from 10.5:1 to 12.5:1 but i dont know how much spray my mach 1 can hold i mean its gonna have forged internals machined heads, pretty much an almost complete rebuilt. how much could i spray??

Yeah really...12.5 comp is way high for street/pump gas. Is this going to be a race only car?
As far as the N20 shot with a shortblock built for it no reason you can't do a 200 shot.

Youll definitly need race gas for 12.5:1. Im runnin 11:1 and its amazing how well my car responds to race gas, it feels like a completly different car.
