Default biggest dry shot?

I am putting a LQ4 in my 2003 rcsb next weekend and i came across a good deal on a dry kit from NOS but i am not sure how big of a shot i should go with 2 start. I am looking 2 put down some fast times at the 1320 this year so any info u nitrous guys can give would be great the mods on the LQ4 are a 226/226 cam from Patriot Performance,Comp 918s,8.1 injectors,hardend 7.4s and arp head bolts with shaved 317s
thanks justin

I wouldn't squeeze any more then a 100 on a dry shot. Best bet is to go with a wet shot, be done with it..

+1...what size injectors will you be going with?

I'd look into an aftermarket fuel pump. Also, for the record, I am maxing out my 8.1L injectors with just about the same setup as you, minus the heads. In other words, I would probably upgrade those before I went dry.

The truck went a best of 12.40 on motor, and went 12.0 on the 100 shot(bad traction issues). I had the timing set down to 24 degrees and it went 11.8 on the 150 shot. At the lsx shootout, I put on a set of 29.5 inch slicks, ran a two stage(100 out the gate and 100 after 2nd gear), and it went 11.6 with the trans slipping into third. I'm using an nx wet nozzle kit for my first stage and the nos plate kit for my second.

My downfall is still being on a mail order tune.
