Nitrous Question
Hi Folks,
02z here with intake, cam, and exhaust. I also have 4.10's. I am going to put the 17" front wheels on back with M/T 275/40/17 on them. Car makes 440rwhp. Here are my wonderments, and I will tell you right away that I am new to this and trying to understand it:
Is it fair to assume that I would run around 120mph in the quarter (cam only)?
I want to add nitrous, but I think a 150 shot would make me shift into 5th, which I don't think I want to do correct?
What about a 100 or 125 hit to max out 4th at quarter's end?
Is my line of thinking off here? Any insight or suggestions appreciated.

I have an auto car & leave it in D for a 125 shot ,no problem. I have 3:73's out back with the 275/40/17's. MPH expect another 10mph with the hit if not more. I gained 12mph with the 125 shot. (117 cam, 129 shot).

Nitrous will not make you use more gears down the track.You will have to shift faster but you will cover the track faster.3 gears is the most you should have to use with 410 in the rear but I think they will be 411's for a chevy,a 100 shot will already get you kicked off the track

I sprayed 100 on my 6 speed C5 with 4.10s and 275/40/17 Hoosiers. I shifted at 6500 and was at 6800 through the traps. This was on a stock motor with the basic bolt ons.
You should not shift into 5th.
