Default Nitrous on 10.5?

Kind of a follow up on my last post of what cam to get . Since emmisions is a concern Im going to go with the 268H (Ive heard of people passing). But looking for more HP.

Here is what my setup will be..
TRW Speedpro 10.5:1 pistons (.30), Manley Forged I beam rods, 5.7 ,GM forged 3.48 crank..

Since my bottom end will be pretty tough with not to much initial HP, what shot can I shoot? Is this a good idea?

Stick with a 100 shot and you will have to change nothing.

will be strong enough. you will have to run colder plugs and retard the timing. mabey even run the better 108 gas. usually when this is done the car runs like crap when you are not using the juice.
