How much NOS can my lg4 hold?

Sorry if this question is repeted over and over again, but i want to get a nit. system. How much can my LG4 hold without modding anything big to it, i've heard 100-125?

Well, commonly nitrous on a project hi-po engine is one of the last things you do. Your engine could handle a mild shot, maybe 50-75 safely, but I think that anything above that will get dangerous to your engine components (after all, an engine meant to have 270-300 horsepower will have close to that to begin with)

Thats good news to hear, but I have the Hypertech chip, and i think that advances my timing, so what do i have to do about that? Take it out?
