NO2 on mild 350

So i have a mildy built SBC 350, mods are in the signature but i'll go over it again anyway lol

350
Weiand Xcelerator Intake Manifold
Edelbrock 600cfm 4 barrel Performer Carb
Edelbrock mild performance camshaft + lifters (dont feel like looking up the specs, i dont have time, but its pretty mild)
Hedman LT headers + True dual exhaust
MSD Distributor Cap, accel HEI super coil, msd street fire SP wires, new platnium plugs.

1987 700r4 4 speed auto

3.73 rear gears

275/60/15 radial T/A's

some weight reduction (back seats, exhaust is short (no mufflers and side pipes), A/C delete, little things)

QUESTION: Now for the question, i would like to buy a used Carb Nitrous kit, and was wondering what sort of HP my motor could handle. Ive heard/researched that they are fairly simple to install for carburated motors. I'm curiours as to what my motor could/should be able to handle, i don't need anything too outrageous, 100HP would be great, more would be better, but idk. LET ME KNOW!!! :-) thanks!

Casey

PS if you have a kit thats up for sale let me know as well, obviously interested

What kind of pistons?

What heads?

Compression ratio?

What are the rings gapped at?

Rods/rod bolts?

I knew these answers would be needed. To tell you the truth i don't know, the heads i'm sure are stock, though i can't check, i'm 2000+miles away. CR i'd like to say is no higher than 9.5:1, i don't know about the rings really, the previous owner said it had a fresh rebuild when i bought it, that was 7000 miles ago or so, i installed new head gaskets/intake manifold gaskets myself when i installed the camshaft, so the top half should be good. only thing i could tell about the pistons are that they are dished. no idea to what extent. a 9.0:1 CR is probably a more accurate guestimate lol. Rods/bolts i assume are all stock...
