Your compression ratio maybe? And what the internals in your engine can handle

experiment & nitrous are two words that shouldn't be used together

add some fuel pressure and close the gap on the plugs a little. back out few degrees of timing. bottle pressure between 900-1000psi

also keep in mind that a 75 shot on a 4 cylinder is much smaller on a v8... If you took a 75 from a honda, and ran it in your stang.. it might only make 35-40hp

Ive ran nitrous many times here is I learned. Do not run it with a stock feul pump, I made that mistake once. Back your timing off, I ran it at 12*. If it starts pinging STOP spraying, back off the timing off little more. run a little colder plug, I ran NGK UR5 gapped at .040. Make sure it is purged before you take off it will cut out bad then hit hard, by then your 1/4mi e/t is screwed.
