Alot, you will know when its had enough because she'll start popping, then you back off from ther.
I have read guys who are running in excess of 200hp shots.

not much stock without studs.I personally wouldnt throw any at it unless it was studded and o ringed.Intake pressures would be up there.Youre putting this on a VE motor?theres only so much fuel you can give those things and the nitrous basically burns extra fuel

Be sure to bring the video camera along on the first run, oh and don't forget to have somebody hold your beer too.

It will take alot you u just have to open the waste gate early to keep the boost and drive pressure down. I had 300+ on my 24 and it blew a head gasket after alot of abuse and racing. but b4 iI was at 200+/- and it was fine for a long time

look at Stuckey Racing's green machine..... i've seen their nitrous setup..... i'd feel safe saying they go through a 10# bottle if not every pass then every other..... a 12V P pumped motor can take alot.... like stated above though watch the drive pressures.... i love my nitrous kit.... i'm running a .068 jet IIRC. it's a nice seat of the pants boost. i haven't sprayed it since i put the drive pressure gauge on it. i need to refill the bottle...... i think i'm gonna step up to a .09X jet as i still have a thick haze at WOT......

im only going with like a 50 or 75 shot to start with, just need a little oommph at the top end when i race people, when i go big it will be ringed and studded and have a wastegated charger with plenty of gauges to keep track of it, i am probably gonna buy a set of studs before christmas, and just put them in with the stock head gasket, then next spring im gonna do the rings and good gasket. ive did alot of work with nitrous before, just never on a diesel and i wasnt sure what a stock 12 valve would take, that is why i asked.
