How about a car desciption. The lead might deposit on injectors. If its carbed, you wont have any problems whatsoever.

If the motor is stock, you should be able to tune for the nitrous and use premium 92 up as long as you use a wet system. If you want an agressive tune (more timing) a 50/50 mix will be ok to use for trips to the track. Whatever you do, get an accurate air/fuel reading and make sure the car isn't too lean for the spray.

How much spray? 75 HP should be ok as long as you get that timing and air/fuel mix right with 93 pump gas.
