what kind of 1/4 mile times can i be expecting?
i know it's kind of hard to tell without ever seeing my car, but i'm just asking for estimates on what i can be running. right now i have a 92 305 5spd Z28 with the G92 option, i have the homemade ram air, airfoil, free flowing exhuast, forged pistons at a 10:1 compression ratio, mild cam, and my future mods are the slp 1 3/4 headers, big mouth manifold, ported plenum and runners(maybe the siamesed ones, but i'm not sure on which one is better), AFPR, and a 150 shot of NOS. what kind of times can i expect with this setup? i was thinking low 13's maybe hight 12's, does that sound reasonable? thanks

Your compression ratio is a little high for nitrous, but you should be faster than I am right now.
I dont know how experienced you are with nitrous, but start small with a 50 shot, and work your way up to a 150 shot as you get used to it and how the car reacts. And start saving for a T56 or other aftermarket tranny, because you'll break the T5 like I did.

Wait, does nitrous not like higher compression??? I thought it was tolerated very well unlike boost and high compression. That is why the ls1 cars run very well with n20. Is this correct?
