Michael you ask Why Nitrous? of course because I can but the other is in a word, IMPORTS" Lots of heads up racing out here.
I won't be experiencing 750hp at the rear wheels and of course it's for Drag racing. I seem to have pretty good luck with the Nitto 555 extreme drag radials. I will be fortunate to see mid/high 10's with 3:55 gears. All of the formulas and software seem to confirm this as well.
Just browsing over the nitrous installation manual again to see what I was thinking and here is a quote from NOS.

"Under most operating conditions, it is SUGGESTED (maybe imperative would be stronger language!) that a separate 3/8" fuel line and pump be dedicated to the nitrous system. If you choose to use a single line fuel system to feed both the engine and the nitrous system, follow these instructions but remember-at higher power levels this fuel system MAY ("will" would be better here as well!) be inadequate.
I deliberately stayed away from the 250hp jets because the context in which these instructions were written lead me to beleive if I stayed away from the high HP jets I would be fine.
