Default Questions about adding some nitrous

I want to add some some nitrous. It will be a wet kit. Currently Im running about 10# on my vortech. Im going to have a 214/224 56X on a 114 installed next month which is when I'll add the nitrous kit. Im also spraying meth on a progressive system. Im going to aim for 11-1 when I have it retuned. How much nitrous can I safely run?? Im aiming for a 12. This will also be on a freshly built 4L65. Should I run richer fuel jets or what???

TNT states that they reccomend 10.8 with there wet kits, they say that is how they build so much more tourque. I aimed mine for about 11.5 on my dry kit it runs like an ape & lets everyone know it is rich with a nice little cloud of black smoke

That cam sounds like a nice no2 cam, you never did say whether or not you upgraded your fuel system. I have seen a few trucks run out of fuel with a 150 wet shot.

Im running 43lb injectors and the inline fuel pump supplied with the vortech kit. Rather than aiming for 10.8 all around I could just go a little bigger with the fuel jet, right??

If I get there fast enough I may be able to beat Whitt to the punch for a bit and have the fastest Tahoe. Then I could hold the spot for fastest Tahoe with a 5.3 . When it lets go I'll swap in the 6.0. It gives me some time to familiarize myself with what is needed since my truck will NEVER see another performance shop EVER. Im sick of paying absurd amounts of money and getting nothing but **** work and half assed jobs. It may take me longer, but I do much better work.
