I've got a 150 shot installed in mine, runnin about 10 degrees timing with 1 step colder plugs, nitrous is great just dont get greedy and try make sure your fuel is adequate for the shot. When i first installed my setup i thought i had it all running right i went for the first test run on nos(100shot) ever and i was kinda disapointed. So i went back put in the 150 jets and didnt really feel a difference, i eventually figured out it was never working.

When it did finally work i can tell you i definatly wasn't disapointed and that yes it is somewhat like the movies depending on the shot

Also im not sure how much different its going to be since your runnin carb'd, im sure some other ppl can chime in on that here tho.

I'm curious as to which specific 100-375 kit you're buying. Any kit actually capable of that range, generally isn't a beginner kit and doesn't look like something I'd recommend for your combo.

a 100shot to me feel's amazing.

but right now my car has days where a 100shot puts you in the seat, and make's you giggle like a little girl, and i have day's where a 100shot feel's like a 50shot.

ive been to chicken sh*t to run a 150 shot on the street, because my transmission has been actin SO bad....

i dynoed my car with a 150shot, it made 311hp and 398.45 ftlbs of trq at the rear wheel's with my transmission sliping at 4200rpm.

after the tranny swap im hoping for 350hp and 450trq to the wheel.


id run 12* base for a 100 shot, 10-8* base for a 150shot.

1 step colder NGK plug's, and the highest octane fuel you can get (pump gas)

good luck, and have fun!

make sure not to engage the nitrous untill your over 3000 rpm other wise you could have a nitrous back fire through your carb not good. but fun my dad used to run a 300 shot on his 71 demon. thing ran crazy good 9.70's off the trailer. But he fried a few pistons along the way
