Default Nitrous express purchase

I will have this set up:

Dart pro1 heads 2.08 and 1.6 valves with cams112LSA 234/236 .610 lift
25% underdrive pulleys
domed piston
8lb flywheel
stage 3 ceramic clutch
the compression will be at 11.5:1

I will buy a Nitrous express kit which one should I buy?

GM NX 20920-10

10lb bottle or 5 lb?
I do not want to use racing fuel therefore people recommend to not go higher than 150shot. what do you think?

how long a 5lb bottle give you? in secondes 10? 20 shots of 10 secondes

Go with the 10lb bottle. The 10lb is the perfect size IMO and if that doesnt last long enough you can always go with a duel bottle setup. Do you plan on going with a fogger, plate, or direct port kit? Single or multi-stage? Wet or dry? Check out the nitrous section at ls1tech.com They seem to be more familiar with nitrous than the majority on this board. Good luck

Ok, then go with a plate kit or fogger kit. You wont be able to utilize the direct port kit unless you are spraying well over a 200shot.

With 11.5:1 compression, you're going to have to use racing fuel, there's really no way around it unless you pull so much timing out that it doesn't give you any more power anyways.

what I understood is that it will give me more power but without raing fuel I can risk detonation and break a rod.
anyway I live in denver where we are loosing around 22% due to elevation
