Default How big a shot of nitrous?

So, with the high cost of super charging and the low cost of nitrous, ive started to consider that as my next step in performance upgrades.

What would you suggest as the limit for my car for nitrous? I was thinking atleast a 100 shot, but im not sure if that would be good for the t-5 or the rest of the power train. Also, what type of system would you suggest? Would i be able to get by with just a dry injection, or would i need a wet injection?

Wet 125 shot 3.73 gears and good tires will get into the 7.8-7.9's through the 1/8 mile. If you drive like a mad man.

If you're new to nitrous, stick to a 150 shot. But your stock shortblock will handle 250hp with no problems. Been there, done that.

A 250 shot!? I had no idea. I thought 125ish was the limit. That makes me feel all warm and fuzzy on the inside!

If pro says it, you can do it. He is very experienced with nitrous systems and what works and what doesnt. I would be scared to run that much though lol haha
