first, dont call nitrous "nos" you will get laughed at.
you can run a 100shot all day and night. but sence you are carbed, spend the money right and buy a plate system that bolt's under your carb. you can run a 150shot (WET!) pretty easy, just put it on the dyno to make sure your not rich.
you MUST upgrade your fuelpump, i got my 255lb high pressure pump for $70 to my door.
also go with a step colder plug, gapped to .30-35
run highest octane gas you can get your hand's on.
and that's pretty much it. it's not complicated. But if your running a big shot, the nitrous will find a weakness in your car.
engine, tran's, gaskets, rearend, etc.
try to read up a bit more, there is plenty of info out there on the internet to prevent you from doing something stupid.

NOS!!!hahahahahahahahahahahahha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!
First since you are carbed you want to run a high volume low pressure fuel pump. Then let your wallet and courage decide the amount of Nitrous you decide to use. I hear a lot of people using a 200 shot. I wouldn't risk over 150 and would feel confident with a 100 shot.

alright guys lol i wont call it nos ne more haha so what do you think should i grab a 8 to 9 psi pump that flows like 90 gph? that should be about right for a 100 shot id think, im not lookin for anythin over the top i jus like to have a little extra insurance im right around 280-300 hp right now so im thinkin a 100 shot will be more than sufficient its only a street car
