Its really no big deal as long as you play by the rules. It hits harder than boost because it comes on instantly unless you get a programmer, BUT a programmer pulses the solenoids which beats up the plungers. You want to start with an AFR of 11.7 but the plugs tell all, keep an eye on them. Generally you will need a tighter converter but with only 100 shot you may be OK. You will need to pull timing out when it comes on, but again with only 100 shot you can take away from base timing. You want bottle pressure at 950 and try to keep it there for every pass. Pressure is irrelevant to how many pounds are in the bottle, 92 degrees is 950 psi if there is 1 or 10 lbs, keep an eye on the weight. Dont forget a purge, if everything goes right you will pull up to the line with 950 psi and only have to do a quick purge to clean it out, also after you trip the top bulb give it another quick blast since the braided line under the hood acts as a heat sink and will heat the nitrous in the line. Another thing is try to make a habit of never starting the car with pressure in the lines, I have seen catastrophic damage from cars in the staging lanes that had a leaky solenoid and when they tried to start it, BOOM. Just a few quick tips...
If you look at a dyno graph on a nitrous pull it spikes and goes straight across. If you have a digital ignition box you can pull timing out on the launch and ramp it back in to soften the hit. You want to ramp it back slowly to ease the transition. We have gone up on street nights when the track sucks and pulled out 10 extra degrees of timing for 1.5 seconds and hardly slowed the car down at all. Some guys wont do this because they believe taking power away slows the car too much, but would you rather slow down by .05 or not make it 10 feet?
