How much torq does N20 add?

We all know that HP=TQxRPM/5252... so the question is how much torq does N20 add? It doesn't increase horsepower, it increases torque which increases horsepower.

1991 Z28 305 5spd 1LE, TES headers, dual cats, 3 Chamber flowmaster, Comp cams .488/.495 212/218, 187 head castings with bigger valves, self-burned eproms.
Gained 20HP by porting and polishing my EGR passage.(some people take this seriously)

All work done by myself, and proud of it!

Find a .bin on the internet and want it burned? I'll do it for you!

Nitrous gives an instant and near constant HP gain throughout the RPM range. Assuming a true 125hp kit, and you hit the button at 2500rpm,,, you know the formula,, 125hp x 5252 / 2500 = 263 lb/ft of torque - actually you would get a little more than that (not exactly linear). But at any rate torque will vary and be the greatest at the lowest activated RPM.
