NoS time
Well my engine is running pretty good now it seems really strong. I just had an alignment and I had guy look at everything for any weakness. He said the car looked great and no suspension parts were close to needing replaced YET ie tierods or ball joints.
Well I bit the bullet and purchased a HitMan NoS kit for the car last night. Its a 100-150-200 hp starter kit which should be all I might ever want since my 350 is running so good now anyway. I think I can run it at 200 hp since I have forged pistons and a decent bottom end. If it goes POP I guess I'll just have to build me a 383 stroker or find a good 400 block and try to build a 427 small block that will take the NoS.
Anyone else out there with a HitMan system? Tell me how it runs on your car?

Run a Jacobs mastermind. I sell nitrous and am somewhat experienced with it. 100 shot? no prob. As long as you don't lean it out and burn a slug you are fine. As far as a 200 shot..spend the 200 bucks on an analog controler to incrementally shoot the dope. Remember n20 doesn't blow motors. It's speeds the breaking of already crapped parts.

as far as a 75 shot, you'll barely feel it.
If you read david vizards book on building hp. 100 - 150 shot is good at 10.1-10.5:1 compression. I am running a nitrous cam. N20 cams have a longer exhaust duration than intake. It actually doesn't make as much power as the reverse, but a 100-110 shot should yield 190 lb/ft in a 383. According to his book that is.

Ahh.. nx is a very good brand. I think their stuff is guaranteed for life. The problem with a progressive controller like munday suggested is your solenoids will take a big beating. The progressive controller keeps cycling the solonoid on and off to regulate the flow of n20. One run with a progressive controller can be somewhere around 120 or more cycles on the solenoid. It shouldnt matter much with the NX kit though. They make one of the best solenoids and they should be guarenteed for life. If it wears out, send it back and get another one. The question I would like to know is, where do us 68-72 guys put the bottle? The rear window tray takes up alot of vertical room where the bottle would go. Batmanfire, do you still have your rear window tray in, or did you yank it out?

Rear window tray? Don't know what ya mean. I guess I plan on putting it behind passenger seat sideways and to the rear so I can reach back and turn it on and off easy.
I'm curious about the kick it will give me when activated. Of course I'm going to start out with the 100 hp setup and go up from there. Its never wise to just take everything to the hilt.

my setup right now is a 350, 280 cam, 650 DP, Performer manifold, forged flattop pistons, 1" 3/4 headers, stock heads 
It big drawback is a 3.08 rear gear but if the N2o gives me a big kick in the pants I may just keep it. I'm driving the car everyday and its very comfortable to drive as it is. The N2o is just for kicks (no pun intended).

I'm running a plate system on my 383 stroker. It's just there for the occasionnal Viper or C5/C6 that thinks his LPE is fast...j/k many LPE's are fast. Have never run it. I just busted my tranny. I'm hoping to have 480hp with 490-510 lb/ft of tq. The 100 shot should give me 700 lb/ft, enough to beat anyone that doesn't have some serious dough. Oh and the WOT switch with your system for $15 bucks or whatever. It's the same switch you can get from an AC supply house for about 97 cents. Same part number and all.
Also a 100 shot is good for about 7 passes out of a 10lb bottle if I remember correctly.
