Need Help with Nitrous
I am running a 6.0l/370 with a LPE GT-11, 3000 stall, stock bottom end, milled heads and .030 head gaskets running 11 to 1 comp. And i am starting to build my nitrous system. What do kind of shot should i run with this setup? Please Help...
Also what other things can i do to cut my 1/4 mi. times?

Weight reduction can help. Do you run with your headlight in or out? I ran with mine out and gained 2 tenths. Not 100% scientific but I gained those tenths and never slowed down. A blackbear tune shaved 7 tenths of for me but I had Justin set everything to ***** to the wall!
I would say start with a 100 shot. Can possibly shave a second off your time. Any less nitrous and all you are doing is running a quicker 14. I personally have been VERY happy with Harris Speed Works. Nick helped me out with all my questions and was very curtious.
A tune and some juice and you can be running 13s for sure. Probably low 13s.
On a side note your sig says your truck is a Extended Short Cab Bed

Yes, a 100 shot won't bother the motor a bit and should give you some very noticeable gains. Like I said it can very well give you a second or more. If you run a 50 shot you at best will be 14.5 probably. So no reason in my mind to run juice for that.
The best $200 you can spend would be on a blackbear tune!!!!!!!!!!!!! Like I said it helped me out a ton!! Never hear a complaint about there tunes and absolutely love them!!! Very noticeable power gain and shifts awesome now! I would have gained more but I kept stock shift points because I have 238,000 miles. I might have been able to squeeze another tenth or two with hight shift points.

With your compression upped, and if your tuned all out, I would be carefull how big of a shot you run, you will easily run into detonation with a 100 shot. I run the NGK TR6 spark plugs (colder) and I have a dual tune where I flip a switch and it pulls back 6 degrees of timing. Atleast make sure your running really good fuel.

I am actually running NGK TR6's already. How much of a shot do you think i should run before i get my system? And, how do you like the plate kit from Harris Speed?
