Is it safe
Is it safe to spray 150-200 shot of nitrous on 100% stock G8 GT
150 is fine. 200 maybe asking a bit much since its hard to control the timing
Winning may not be everything, but its still better than losing
I don't know you. I don't know what have done. If you are looking to talk up a race for 3 hours, I can tell you I don't have the time. But what I do have are a very particular set of parts; parts I have acquired over a very long career. Parts that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you go home, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not punk you. But if you don't, I will punk you, I will race you, and I will embarrass you.
I agree. I would keep it to a 100 to 150 shot. Just make sure you take all of the necessary safety items along the way.

Agreed. A good window switch is a must. Put a good bottle pressure monitor system on it and it will feel like a rocket all the time and will be plenty safe.Originally Posted by Nick@HSW
Bone stock... 150-200 is really pushing it, I would only go 75-100 bone stock. I would at least swap out the stock plugs for colder plugs (TR6). Bare minimum is premium 93 octane but I always ran a couple gallons of race fuel when going with a 100 shot and for sure if going higher. If going over 100 I would get a nitrous tune as well to get everything in check. Keep an eye on bottle and fuel pressure and check the plugs while spraying. I went through 3 sets of plugs my first trip to the track experimenting with the spray!
Just my .02 as I like to play it safe.
If he is 100% stock, a nitrous tune prob wont change much, he already has little to no timing lol

Agree with most. I would feel safe up to 150 (wet), just would go colder plugs and make sure you have a solid tune, and you'll be fine!

I think my stock timing was somewhere in the 15-18 range and the highest I saw on the tune was 22-24'ish. Might not be exact as it was a while ago.
Either way I like to play it safe now when it comes to power adders... unfortunately I've learned how fragile engines really are after popping a few engines practicing supposedly safe theories. I'd rather spend a few bucks on things like new plugs, race fuel, and dialing back the power a tad as they are pennies in comparison to an engine build.
You really only need a 75 shot and traction to run low 12's if you have basic bolt ons, probably a 100 if truly bone stock. Not sure what the OP's goals are with spraying so much while stock, your sure not gonna hook a 100+ shot being stock so you will need to work on that end of things as well. Unless of course you wait until 3rd to spray but then your not getting the full effect. I went 12.5's messing with a 35 and 50 shot in a couple gears making sure everything worked, then tried 75 & 100 shot and went 12.0, the 100 shot I just spun a little more so the 75 shot was optimal. If your gonna step up and get some slicks then you can throw whatever you want at it.
That's the first thing that popped in my mind when I read the thread title. lol
