Tell Me I'm Crazy! To Spray or Not to Spray!!!!
ive got quite a few mods now and im not sure i could get into the twelves. im not saying you cant but that is moving for a truck. my truck ran pretty good when it was stock though. I dont really know what to say. Ive thought of having a little funny gas for if I go to the track but Ive never bought anything yet
The tranny makes a huge difference. Just by SOTP feel, I'm guessing when I did my tranny (all I had was Hot Juice) I picked up close to a second in the 1/4. The tighter TC is a big help in getting all that power to the ground.
Sure...I'll tell you you're CRAZY!! 
Honestly, I just don't see the sense in tearing up a nice '07 truck just to say you ran a 12.99 once. Let me ask you, do you really have a 12 second truck if your truck will never run 12's again?

Don't forget - nitrous doesn't raise peak cylinder pressure or temperature (the nitrogen acts as a buffer for the combustion process and actually lowers both), but it does fatten the area under the cylinder pressure vs. piston position curve quite a bit.
More push, less hit.
Of course, the phenomenom is more pronounced on a gasser.

All of you have great points here but how many people can say they have the limited amount of mods I do and ran a 12.99 or better. Who knows the truck may not like it all all and I end up with a broke truck. Lots of people said my 13.422 was insane with the bare mods I have. I know its not the best idea to do this as im doing it backwards from what I should I just think that these trucks have alot more in them then what people think and I want to find the limits. I know im playing with gasoline the way my truck is now and the nitrous may just be taht match that blows it up. I think the raised cylinder pressures would be the thing that gets me as the head gasket probably wont take much more.
TritonT the trans. alone makes a big difference I have seen trucks pic up nearly half a second in the quarter with a built trans. alone. And as far as I know that ts 03 white qc 4wd had 2 stages of nitrous on it for its high-mid 12 pass a year or so back dont keep up with it too much now but that was all in an article in diesel power.
If I do decide to go with some nitrous what kit should I go with Im thinking of going with a single progressive stage for now.

I agree. It's pretty impressive, and I think everyone else will agree too. But what we're trying to make sure you realize is that by doing it the way you are, you are destroying a perfectly good truck and costing yourself more money in the long run to have a quick AND reliable truck.
I realize that and I know that if i do do this septup its a pne time deal and not a everyday setup like I will someday have on my truck. I appreciate all your guys help you guys are the best and have provided me some great info to help me make an educated decision.
