Default nitrous setup

I've thought about this in the past but never went through with it. But the more i read the more i think its a better idea. I wounder has anyone ran nitrous besides one member on forums who posted a 430+whp dyno with a 75 shot.

I have a wet nitrous kit from previous car (04 gto) I have a rpm window switch with first gear cutout. I only plan on using a 50shot. Which would probably be more like a 75shot do to the cooling effect on the intercoolers. There's no other mods for me to do on my car and i think this is the only way to take it to the next level without going twin screw.

Anybody have any pointers or tips. I know there were quite a few older xjr's running spray can anybody chime in and give me some tips.

Tips,
1: keep traction control OFF
2: You might consider it cheap insurance to wire 2 NOS solinoids in series so that if a particle of dirt holds one slightly open the other will stay shut so you do not hear a boom when starting the car.
3. Make sure your cooling system is up to snuff
4. 1 or even 2 steps colder spark plugs. Denso U groove recommended by Kenne Bell

I have a complete NX NOS kit sitting in my garage. I plan on installing it some time later this summer when I can carve out the time. I am going to be using a boost referencing controller that is super adjustable.

I am going to be running dual nozzles, 2 NOS and 2 Fuel, one set on each side just before the air goes to the charge coolers.

My plan is to use 2 of the 25 hp jets, which end up giving approx 55 RWHP, and if all goes well I'll step up to 2 50 hp jets, which end up adding approx 113 RWHP. See attached dyno chart

I have a shark nozzle setup. I planned on spraying right into the intake. Is this not as good for supercharged cars?

Do you mean injecting before the supercharger?

The fuel spray will damage the rotor coatings.

What I was always worried about is the funny shifting of the transmission. I think you use a different one but I know my ZF box sometimes shorts shifts or hangs. Not something I want to happen when it is spraying.
