Default n2o kit or gear

well im about done with engine mods and thinking what to get next. A 3.42 gear set or 50-75shot wet shot with a window switch WOT 3k-5800rpm before my 6k stock shift points after having it dyntouned with intake filter, tsp headers, straight pipes and 1839 elgin cam. It is a stock auto 3.15 gear trans and torque converter. Will the stock trans an auto torque converter hold the 400-425-450whp. I think a 50-75 shot would be great as that just as much as the best heads would add in terms of horsepower and not damage the engine. Most people ive seen run 150shot thru f-body ls1s i think. Im trying to keep the trans and motor in good condition so perhaps a 50-75 shot tops. How many wide open 1/4 mile passes are in a 15lb tank 10-15 or 20 and how much is it to fill a bottle 40$?

Theres cheaper 400$ wetshot kits on ebay that could use the 150$ nitrous plate or shark nozzle. One ebay seller said he'd substitute the nozzle for the plate up to 150 shot for 480$ new in box. The next thing would be a wideband and nitrous outlet/xpress WOT/rpm activation switch which run about 210$
Any guys use these and with the stock tune. I believe My timing is only 25 degrees vs 28 degrees 27 what some guys run with a big cam so would there be any reason to have the timing adjusted or could i simply throw on the 50-75 shot with wideband and run it? Will this kill the stock torque converter eventually and stock trans clutch paks.

Correct me if im wrong but spark means 25 degrees of timing correct vs the 27 or 28 degrees the stock tune has WOT. I recently put new AFS75 ac delco front o2 sensors and the cars been running great with no codes for the 200-300 miles i've put on them.
